Once a Star of College Basketball, Kevin Ollie Is Now Disrupting It

Ollie is helping lead the Overtime basketball academy. He was fired by UConn in 2018 amid an N.C.A. investigation. Ollies is the fourth Black coach to win a Division I men's basketball championship. U.S. agreed to pay Olly an additional $3.9 million to help him pay his legal fees. The N C. A.’s antiquated model has been upended again and again in recent years. College basketball needs coaches like Ollo to relate to players and embrace change. Mike Krzyzewski at Duke and Roy Williams at North Carolina didn't.
