do u know how bad uconn was before he got there?
Can't dispute Jimmy boy's success up in Syracuse, but I too find him a little on the creepy, slimy side.

And if by come remote chance SJU had a vacancy tomorrow, and Calhoun took the job, there would be pandemonium on this board.

The guys can coach. The guy can recruit. The guy can cheat. The guy has fire in his gut, no, wait, an inferno. He demands excellence and gets it. If he might be on the market, Monasch would be well advised to place a friendly phone call. If Repole helped finance this, I'd think he's sell a horse or two to finance this for 4 years.
Well lets all agree that Wooden, Knight and Dean Smith are the first three. Who is fourth would be a great debate. Hard to argue that Stutterin Jim would beat Ratface or Pitino to the Mount from the coaches of the last 30, I think. His 3 natty's are good but he's only made 4 final fours. Personally I'd have Uncle Roy ahead of him as well but he's clearly in the all time top 10.

I think I would actually prefer a guy who is so ticked at a loss that he shakes hands quickly and moves on, rather than a guy being all smiles and warmth in the first moments after a tough loss. Part of what makes guys like Boeheim, Calhoun, and Michael Jordan exceptional winners is that they aren't out there to make friends - they are out to win every way they can.
Calhoun an outstanding coach.
Boeheim, another outstanding coach.
Can't argue with their success, year after year.
That Calhoun got 3 titles is a testament to him and his players, but a play here or there along the way and it could have been JB will three and Calhoun 1.
Looie was a great coach but we got one final four during his tenure. The longevity of their success is amazing and pretty much at one school for JB at least.
We'd have been fortunate for either JB or Calhoun taking the reins from Looie.
Neither guy is particularly politically correct, and prickly personalities, not like Looie at all, but who out there is like Looie.
I think JB regrets some of his antics, but I liked how he stood up for the BE during those many years when the ACC tried to tear it down. He still doesn't like the ACC, and that's fine by me.
