Finally, he insinuated the leash is not a long one with coaching. All I can say is that he knows.

There are no guarantees with UConn. Our own University of Dayton played dirty by helping bring in LaSalle and Duquesne into the MCC/Horizon after Marquette and St. Louis defected to the Great Midwest. Just a year later, we bolt for the Great Midwest ourselves. Duquesne was so upset that they left the conference after just one year and returned to the A10.
