UConn and its 2013-14 opponents in bold-face type.
At the start of the 2013-14 NBA season, UConn ranked among the top seven college programs in the country in current number of NBA players. Kentucky tops the list with 21 players in the NBA, followed by North Carolina (16), Duke (15), Kansas (14), UCLA (13), and UConn and Florida with 12 each.

The 12 former Huskies are with eight different NBA franchises, and total a combined 88 seasons of NBA experience. The UConn dozen are led by Ray Allen (Heat), in his 18th NBA season, and Caron Butler (Bucks), in his 12th NBA season. The 10 other former Huskies on NBA rosters include Emeka Okafor (Suns) and Ben Gordon (Bobcats), each in the midst of his 10th year, Charlie Villanueva (Pistons), in his 9th year, Rudy Gay (Raptors), in his 8th season, Hasheem Thabeet (Thunder) and A.J. Price (Timberwolves), each in his 5th year, Jeff Adrien (Bobcats), in his 4th year, Kemba Walker (Bobcats), in his 3rd NBA season, and Jeremy Lamb (Thunder) and Andre Drummond (Pistons), each in his 2nd year.

LAST TIME OUT: UConn took charge early against USF on Feb. 12 and ran away to its most lopsided AAC victory of the season, 83-40. The Huskies scored the first eightpoints of the game and held leads of 15-3, 33-7, and 45-14 at halftime. The second half brought more of the same as UConn held USF to 24.0 percent shooting, a season low. All 12 Huskies who played in the game scored, led by junior DeAndre Daniels with 12 and a career-high 10 by freshman Kentan Facey. Freshman Amida Brimah blocked six shots and the Huskies totaled 11 blocks as a team.
SEASON SWEEP: The Huskies, trailing 18-17 with10minutesremaininginthefirsthalf,went on a 24-6 run to take a 41-24 halftime lead and never looked back on their way to a 75-55 win over UCF in Orlando, their second win over the Knights this year.

Two outstanding young players, Sam Cassell, Jr., and Dan-iel Hamilton, have signed agreements to attend UConn be-ginning with the 2014-15 academic year. Cassell, a 6-4, 195-pound guard out of Baltimore, is the son of 15-year NBA player Sam Cassell, who is currently an assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. The elder Cas-sell was teammates with UConn head coach Kevin Ollie on the 2002-03 Milwaukee Bucks. Hamilton, a 6-7 guard/forward from Los Angeles, also has family ties to the NBA with older brother Jordan currently playing for the Denver Nuggets. “I’m very pleased and excited to have these two young men joining our basketball program,” Ollie said. “They are excellent players and more importantly, high-character peo-ple. I expect both Sam and Daniel to do great things at the University of Connecticut.” Cassell is currently attending Chipola College in Marianna, Fla., for the second year. He redshirted last season but is on the roster this season. He will have three years of eligibility at UConn after enrolling next fall. “Sam is just an outstanding guard who can do a number of different things on the basketball court,” Ollie said. “He brings a level of maturity after two years in junior college. He’ll be a great addition to our team, especially with his ex-perience.” Hamilton is a senior at St. John Bosco High in Los Angeles. He is ranked among the top 25 players in the country by most recruiting services. “Daniel is just full of versatility,” Ollie said. “He’s 6-7 and can do everything. He can play 1, 2, 3 and 4 ...just an excep-tional basketball player.”

Kevin OLLIEHead Coach
2nd Year as HC; 4th year at UConnIn just his second season as the
head basketball coach at the Uni-versity of Connecticut and only his fourth year in the profession since retiring from the NBA, Kevin Ollie has already established himself as one of the rising young coaching stars in the college game.
Ollie accepted a huge responsi-bility on Sept. 13, 2012, when he was named the 18th head coach in the history of UConn men’s basketball, replacing legendary Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun.
By the end of the 2012-13 sea-son, however, it was evident that Ollie was more than ready to meet the challenge.
With only two seasons of coach-ing experience after joining Calhoun’s staff as an assistant in 2010-2011, Ollie quickly embraced the opportu-nity to lead the storied UConn pro-gram.
Despite a roster depleted by transfers and early NBA entrants, and a team that was ineligible for any postseason play due to academ-ic shortcomings in years long past, Ollie guided the Huskies to a 20-vic-tory season, a feat no other UConn coach had ever accomplished in his firstyear.The Huskies finished 20-10, ex-
tending UConn’s streak of 20-win seasonstothreestraight,fiveinthelast six years, and 14 in the last 16 years, as well as extending its streak of winning seasons to 26 in a row. UConn posted a 10-8 mark in the difficultBigEastConference.Atsea-son’s end, Ollie’s efforts were recog-nized by Collegeinsider.com, which selected him to receive its Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year Award, given to the top Division I minority coach, who produced excellent re-sultsdespitedifficultoradversecon-ditions.
Ollie raised eyebrows with the
season’s very first game, upsetting14th-ranked Michigan State, 66-62, in the Armed Forces Classic at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. The season also included victories over ranked teams Notre Dame and Syra-cuse, and five wins in overtime, aschool record.
On Dec. 29, 2012, less than a dozen games into his first season ashead coach, Ol-lie was awarded a new contract that will run through at least the 2017-18 season.
Ollie’s UConn history --- which began in the fall of 1991 when he re-
ported to school as a freshman from Los Angeles, continued through four successful seasons, including two as a Husky team captain, and resumed when he returned to join Calhoun’s coaching staff following a 13-year NBA career --- has come full circle. He may have only served two sea-sons as an assistant on Calhoun’s staff, but possesses a wealth of basketball knowledge after learning fromsomeofthefinestteacherstoever coach the game, including Cal-houn, Chuck Daly, Larry Brown, and George Karl.
“After 13 years in the NBA, Kev-in’s got a PhD in basketball,” Calhoun said as he passed the torch to his former point guard. “He’s a great basketball man and an even better person. I’m very proud of him.”
The reins to the Huskies could not have been handed to anyone who wanted them more than Ollie.
“This is my dream job. I was made for this job,” Ollie said on the day he was hired. “UConn is a special, spe-cial place and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but right here.”
Ollie made that same decision about UConn more than 20 years ago, coming out of Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles. Playing on someofCalhoun’sfinestteamsdur-

ing the mid-1990s, Ollie was a four-year starting point guard and a two-time cap-tain.
He played in 124 games for the Hus-kies, averaging 6.7 points and 5.0 as-sists. A third team All-Big East pick, his 619 assist total still ranks third on UConn’s all-time list. He graduated in 1995 with a degree in Communications.
But Ollie was far more concerned with team statistics than individual ones. During his four-year UConn career, the Huskies had a record of 92-33, 51-21 in the Big East Conference and made three NCAA Tournament appearances. During Ollie’s last two seasons, when he served as a team captain, UConn’s record was 57-10 overall and a dazzling 32-4 in the Big East, capturing two Big East regular-season championships, and reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, re-spectively.
Yet it was after his UConn career that Ollie was most impressive, display-ing unmatched perseverance, intestinal fortitude, and a never-say- die attitude as he fought his way through years in the Continental Basketball Association and the U.S. Basketball League to get his chance in the NBA.
Once there, Ollie would simply not give up his dream, signing a series of
10-day and one-year contracts, dealing with trades and frustrating roster cuts.
“One time, I was cut on Christmas Eve,” said Ollie. “What a Christmas pres-ent that was.”
Yet Ollie would not be deterred, earn-ing a reputation throughout the league as an outstanding teammate, with strong moralfiber,impeccablecharacter,andavast knowledge of the game. His perse-verancefinallypaidoffwithamulti-yearcontract from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who also wanted Ollie to mentor a young LeBron James about acting as a profes-sional. Oklahoma City brought Ollie in to do the same for Kevin Durant. During a 13-year NBA career, Ollie played for 11 different franchises in 12 cities and learned from 15 different NBA coaches. It was apparent that Ollie would eventu-ally become a coach.
Ollie couldn’t have had a more suc-cessful debut season to his coaching career than in 2010-11, as he helped guard Kemba Walker produce one of the most spectacular individual seasons in UConn history in leading the Huskies to the program’s third national champion-ship. The 2011-12 season culminated in another NCAA appearance and another UConn guard, Jeremy Lamb, drafted as an NBA lottery selection.
“Kevin Ollie epitomizes what we want a UConn athlete, a UConn student, to be
all about, and when you say that, that’s heavy stuff,” Calhoun said. “Any fox hole you need to jump in, there’s your guy. Anytime you need a person who won’t quit, there’s your guy.”
Born in Dallas on Dec. 27, 1972, and raised in Los Angeles, Ollie resides in Glastonbury with wife Stephanie, who is also a UConn grad (1997), and their two children, son Jalen (born 6/22/96) and daughter Cheyanne (born 2/6/01).
