UConn coach Kevin Ollie says he has 'no plans to pursue other opportunities'

As the rumor mill has swirled this past week, tossing Scott Brooks’ job security into question, UConn coach Kevin Ollie’s name emerged as a possible candidate to become the Thunder coach.

On Wednesday morning, in a statement through UConn, Ollie did his best to shoot that possibility down.

“As I have said many times, I am proud and honored to be the head basketball coach at the University of Connecticut and I have no plans to pursue other opportunities,” Ollie’s statement read. “We are already excited about next season and I am looking forward to preparing our team to be the best we can be on the court, in the classroom, and in our community.”
