Kevin Ollie Serves Dan Hurley a Subpoena as Feud With UConn Drags on
By Sean Facey
The beef between the UConn men's basketball team and former head coach Kevin Ollie is nowhere near a conclusion.
In fact, Ollie and his lawyer have actually served current head coach Dan Hurley with a subpoena as he continues to fight for the money that he believes he is rightfully owed.
Wow. Kevin Ollie and his attorney served UConn coach Dan Hurley with a subpoena at his home yesterday. Ridiculous. I get that Ollie is upset and rightfully so that UConn isn’t paying him after being fired, but this has zero to do with Hurley.

While it's understandable that Ollie wants the $10 million that was left on his deal when the Huskies showed him the door, it just seems a little bit off the mark for him to be dragging Hurley into this.
What information could Hurley possibly provide that would help Ollie's case? To show up at his house and tell him he's been served is just excessive.
Kevin Ollie’s attorney went to Dan Hurley’s house Saturday to serve him a subpoena. UConn just released this statement on the matter. The sever from Ollie and his UConn is now as bitter a divorce as almost any I can recall between an almnus-turned-coach and their alma mater. pic.twitter.com/Tzx5RHq9ja

The man was hired two weeks after Ollie was fired. When that's taken into consideration with the way the team was trending and his NCAA rules violations, it's hard to see how he connects to the case. Hurley just happened to be the man that filled the vacancy Ollie left.
This battle is between Ollie and the school. Involving anyone else is just an absurd ploy to create havoc.
