Jim Calhoun Taking Medical Leave
- Thread starter MJDinkins
- Start date
May be recruiting violations are about to catch up to him.
I wonder if the Calhoun bootlicking media throwing out "rumors" about Calhoun calling it a career.
This is what drove me crazy about using prostate cancer to recruit against Lavin.
Calhoun makes Keith Richards look like Brad Pitt, yet no one blinks when he gets kids to "walk-on."
I hope he lives healthy and happy to 100. But I will never ever wish anything but absolute slow, smoldering hell for his program.

i hope coach recovers but funny how he just went into medical leave after a losing streak. should have retired after winning the championship.
I have no love for Calhoun, but let's be fair here. If he retires off that national title, with the penalties already handed down, he would have looked like a real weasel for skimping out on that 3-game conference suspension.
BTW. did anybody hear Michelle Yu make fun of him on Tuesday night (Marquette-Seton Hall pregame)? Tim Welsh was talking about how this year for UCONN, has been eerily similar to last year for UCONN. At the end he says, "the difference is that last year, Jim had Kemba Walker to carry his team in the postseason." Michelle Yu's response was, "or as Jim Calhoun was fond of calling him, 'Kember'".

Very well said! I never wish any coach ill health. But the Uconn program needs to go DOWN!

Hey, I can't stand some of the sideline rants, but to be fair, UCONN was simply CONNECTICUT before Calhoun. He has done an amazing job, and is a HOF coach. Wish him good health.

Uconn was, and is, ready to jump to the ACC if they would take them. Knocking them down a few notches and Calhoun retiring makes them less attractive. Whether they stay or leave, I will continue to root against them every game. Go Seton Hall Pirates!
I'd be lying if I said the 4 game losing streak didn't cross my mind.
But spinal stenosis can be really really bad and can end a career. Someone in my office has it and at one point he couldn't even walk to the elevator without being in such pain he had to sit down and rest. ( he's now taking neurontin ) and after taking it for awhile it's helped to the point where he can walk further but still not that far.
Another guy who used to work in my office has it so bad nothing is even working and he can barely leave the house. When some of us got together for dinner he could barely even get out of his car without help
Definitely a potential career ender if the pain is that bad

Lawman... One day I'm going to bring AlexD out to one of the games in NYC. He loves Uconn, but despite that he's a fantastic guy and fan... You guys would hate him because you liked him too much. :lst: Fantastic guy who thinks his program is clean because Jim Calhoun says so...
