Interesting. I hope he doesn't show up as assistant at a rival NCAA program.

I admit I don't personally know the guy, but from the outside looking in, he seems like somewhat of a "drama queen." Part of my perception is influenced by the way he acted when SDSU did not have interest in Jaydee Luster.

Secretly glad Ollie wasn't around long enough to break Coach Mitrovich's W-L record. His is a record that deserves to stand for a long, long time.
I hope Ollie finds his nirvana.

Part of my perception is influenced by the way he acted when SDSU did not have interest in Jaydee Luster. SDSU had interest in Luster. He was a good point guard and a quality kid. Class act. His height was the only limitation. It seems Goulston (and presumably Lester) believe SDSU reneged on a commitment. And Fisher believes different. I know who I believe. |

In reading Ollie's quotes, he sounds like a pompous *ss. There are better ways to go off into the sunset than by flipping everyone the bird. Good luck. Good riddance.

I played for Ollie when I was in high school, when he was was coaching High 5 America. Very pompous, and let his personal relationships with schools interfere/override his players recruitment. Not sad to see him go, kind of a dick.

You have to wonder what would be the argument against sixth period practice being counted as your PE requirement. What could the reasoning be? Is there more to this story?

That certainly doesn't make sense to me. It's not as if they're getting out of an academic class. They're trading one phys ed class for another. The class they're doing is called organized sports (football, basketball, baseball, etc). It's supposed to be about getting excercise and getting in better physical condition. I'd say that the organized sports programs accomplish that task quite well. It sounds to me like it was a pissing match between guys with big egos. The principal had the power and he forced the coach out by taking away something that benefited the players on that coach's team. Whatever. I won't be surprised if their athletic programs drop off the map. Some of their players may become academically ineligible since they'll lose an hour a day that they could (should) use to do homework. |

Other than Chol, who may or may not work out, Hoover hasn't put any players into a significant program. From what I saw when we played Wyoming, Luster wouldn't have started for us. Goulston's next step is most likely at the JC level at best.

The most shocking fact in the original news story was Coach Goulston's age. He is only 44 years old I thought he was much older. I think he will be snapped up quickly and produce a dynasty somewhere else. Here is an article about what he has accomplished at Herbert Hoover Hi: cityheightslife.com/2012/03/hoover-basketball-coach-helps-athletes-find-success-on-and-off-the-court/"Of Goulston’s 28 graduating seniors, 27 have moved on to college and continued their athletic careers. Eighteen of those seniors have received scholarships to four-year universities. Goulston says these are the numbers he wants his program to be known by." |

It is a great deal for players and coaches, and I guess counselors. The problem in these cash strapped days is that I believe that only 2 years of PE are needed, so schools have had to cut back on teachers and facilities. When there is a school wide 6th period for PE, that class time had to come from somewhere else. It looks like the guy did a good job for his kids, and his school. There must be something else going on here. Was it a 6th period only for B-Ball players? I have a feeling that there is a financial reason behind his snit and departure.  |

It is just for the team for sixth period. It works for all sports. This policy makes sense and at Hoover it had to be something else. |
