Coming off a 30-10 season, a BIG EAST Tournament championship, and a trip to the Final Four, Louisville was expected to make another major run at the NCAA title in 2012-13. Through 16 games, the Cardinals have more than lived up to expectations.

In a gutty performance, the Huskies built a 58-52 lead with 3:51 left, only to have ND tie the game, 58-58, with 1:13 to go. But Ryan Boatright hit two free throws, the Huskies forced a turnover, and Boatright hit two more to give UConn a 62-58 lead with 31 seconds left. Notre Dame would not score again. UConn junior Tyler Olander had the finestgameofhiscareerwith16pointsand7 rebounds, while junior Shabazz Napier was outstanding with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Boatright added 14 points and 5 assists.

Head Coach Kevin Ollie
FAST FACTS Born: Dec. 27, 1972 (Dallas, Texas) Raised: Los Angeles, Calif. (Crenshaw High School) College: University of Connecticut (BA-Communications ’95) College Basketball Career: 4-year starting point guard; two- time captain; UConn All- Century Team. Professional Basketball Career: 13 years in the NBA with 11 franchises(finalseason 2009-10 w/Oklahoma City); 2 years in CBA w/Conn. Pride; 1 year in USBL w/ Conn. Skyhawks. Assistant Coach: 2 years fulltime assistant coach at UConn under Jim Calhoun. Head Coach: UConn, appointed Sept. 13, 2012. Family: Wife, Stephanie (UConn ‘97); Son, Jalen (born 6/22/96); Daughter, Cheyenne (born 2/6/01).
No matter when it may have occurred, replacing legendary UConn men’s basket-ball coach Jim Calhoun was going to be an overwhelming challenge. Not only would the incomingcoachhavetotrytofilltheshoesof a Hall of Famer and one of the country’s mostwell-knownfiguresonthesidelines,buthe also would be entrusted with maintaining the excellence of a program that had cap-tured three National Championships, made four Final Four appearances, and earned 17 Big East titles in the past 23 years. Kevin Ollie accepted that responsibility on Sept. 13, 2012, when he was named the 18th head coach in UConn basketball his-tory. Ollie’s UConn his tory --- which began in the fall of 1991 when he reported 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. Ollie takes over one of the top college programs in the country after just two sea-sons as an assistant on Calhoun’s staff, but possessing a wealth of basketball knowledge afterlearningfromsomeofthefinestteach-ers to ever coach the game, including Chuck Daly, Larry Brown, and George Karl. “After 13 years in the NBA, Kevin’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, special 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 some of Calhoun’s finest teamsduring the mid-1990s, Ollie was a four-year starting point guard and a two-time captain. He played in 124 games for the Huskies, av-eraging 6.7 points and 5.0 assists. A third team All-BIG EAST pick, his 619 assist total still ranks third on UConn’s all-time list. 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 Tourna-ment appearances. During Ollie’s last two seasons, when he served as a team captain, UConn’s record was 57-10 overall and a daz-zling 32-4 in the BIG EAST, capturing two
BIG EAST regular-season championships, and reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, respectively. Yet it was after his UConn career that Ollie was most impressive, displaying 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 present that was.” Yet Ollie would not be deterred, earning a reputation throughout the league as an out-standingteammate,withstrongmoralfiber,impeccable character, and a vast knowledge of the game. His perseverance finally paidoff with a multi-year contract from the Philadelphia 76ers. Ollie had been brought to Cleveland to men-tor a young LeBron James about acting as a professional and Oklahoma City brought him 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 dif-ferent NBA coaches. It was apparent that Ollie would eventually become a coach. “He’s a great kid, a great team-mate, he was great to be around,” Larry Brown, who coached Ollie in Philadelphia, said in a Hartford Cou-rant story about Ollie. “He was a mentor to our young players. Like all of the players I coached who had been with Calhoun, he ac-cepted coaching the right way, he allowed you to make him better.” It was Brown, in fact, whose advice Ollie sought when he was offered the position on Calhoun’s staff in 2010. “I know he was thinking about going back to Oklahoma City [as a player],” said Brown, now the head coach at SMU of the BIG EAST, “and I told him, ‘You know you want to coach eventually. What better opportunity than to go back to your school, and with your coach, who loves you?’ Two years with [Calhoun], Kevin has all the preparation he needs.” Ollie couldn’t have had a more success-ful debut season to his coaching career, as
“After 13 years in the NBA, Kevin’s got a PhD in basketball. He’s a great basketball man and an even better person.”

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 championship. Last year culminated in another NCAA ap-pearance 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. When you say that about somebody, that’s heavy stuff,” Calhoun said. “Any fox hole you need to jump in, there’s your guy. Any time you need a person who won’t quit, there’s your guy.” This season, Ollie will use his basketball knowledgeasaheadcoachforthefirsttime,but his coaching philosophy is about more than the game. “I want to get victories, but I also want to present our team the way it should be pre-sented --- with strength, with character, with discipline, with focus, with an appetite and the integrity to get better,” Ollie said. “It’s not about Xs and Os, it’s not about winning and losing, it’s about these men becoming special people. When they leave here, judge me on that.” Born in Dallas on Dec. 27, 1972, and raised in Los Angeles, Ollie resides in Glas-tonbury with wife Stephanie, who is also a UConn grad (‘97), and their two children, son Jalen, 16, and daughter Cheyenne, 11.
