This means they could essentially be fighting for the 6th to 8th position. Playoffs are by no means a guarantee.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

If Kevin Ollie is the desired coach by Ujiri, I could see him waiting one more year:
The buyout works as a sliding scale. It reads that Ollie will owe $5 million back to UConn if he takes on another D-I coaching job in the first year of his contract, then $4 million, $3 million and so on. If he leaves for the NBA at any point over the contract, the payback is $5 million, then $4 million in the second year and $1 million in the final three seasons.
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...eal-with-uconnConnecticut's Kevin Ollie had negotiated too enormous of a buyout into his contract – $5 million – and that was a non-starter for the Thunder. Ollie had a unique history and connection with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but Donovan has a longer, sturdier coaching pedigree.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-bil...055815600.html
Also, interesting the difference in language between his extension in 2012 and his extension in 2014:
2012:
"It's a five-year contract, but I'm looking at it like I can be the coach here for 20-25 years,'' said Ollie, who consistently has called coaching his alma mater his dream job.
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bask...-year-contract
2014:
“I'm very pleased that we were able to agree to a new contract and that we'll be able to continue to build upon the success we've had,” Ollie said in a statement. “It's a humbling experience to be around the UConn fans and the UConn family and to know that I am their basketball coach for the foreseeable future. I'm very proud of that. UConn is a place that I love and as I've told everyone throughout the season and through all the recent speculation, this is where my heart is. This is where I wanted to be."

Maybe the recruiting wears on Ollie knowing the NBA lifestyle well due to being a player?
As much as anything, college coaches leap to the NBA to escape the recruiting cesspool, which is part of Donovan's motivation. As contracts become shorter in the NBA, players are cycling through free agency with greater frequency. Organizations have to sell themselves to an increasingly large pool of midlevel talent that is getting offered similar money everywhere, and the chance to prosper with a particular coach can factor into choices.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-bil...055815600.html
If UConn's APR score falls below 930, Ollie will not only be coaching a team not going to the postseason again, but he also will lose two weeks of base salary. Two consecutive years of a sub-930 APR would result in possible termination or, at the very least, a suspension.

Anyways, something to consider as it is May 1st..... 8 weeks to draft! 9 weeks to free agency! 5 months to training camp!!!
EDIT:
Oh, I forgot to finish my thoughts.
So Casey brought back for next season with strict mandate and oversights from Masai.
Option 1: Casey follows through: he is replaced next season regardless.
Option 2: Casey fails and is fired and replaced with an assistant as "interim" head coach.
Then next summer, the coach for the long term is brought in as the team enters free agency looking to attract marquee talent.Last edited by mcHAPPY; Fri May 1, 2015, 08:37 AM.

It would be an $8M charge to replace Casey this year - $4M for Casey and then $4M for Ollie's buyout.

Or maybe such contract language as the following wears on him trying to get kids who don't want to be in school or don't have the academic skills to achieve in school to get minimum grades?

Retaining Casey and waiting on Ollie also seems like a plan destined to blow up in your face, and I'd be pissed if that was Masai's plan.
