One of those coaches we loved to hate. A driving force in the growth and success of the Big East. Requiescat in pace, Rollie.

Never hated Rollie, or Looie. They just seemed like good guys, unlike Boheem. RIP, Rollie.

Rollie, Louie, Boeheim and Big John, and later Calhoun were all good and charismatic coaches who put the Big East on the map as the best conference in the country. I have the utmost respect for all of them as coaches and do not hate them. Rest in Peace, Rollie.

Happy Birthday Ed!!!

That said, Boeheim and Calhoun were cheaters and scumbags.

Louie and Rollie were decent guys whose teams I hated.
