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.”
