Hopefully, Jim Calhoun Will Finally Get His Due.

What he has done at UCONN is the greatest program building job in the history of college basketball. He took over a program with less basketball tradition than Providence and has now won more national titles than Dean Smith. He's one of the ten best all time. Period.

Think this might be the end of the road, hat?

 

[Volst53]

He is a hell of a coach.

If I were him, I'd give it serious thought.

He is a hell of a coach.

And a pompous ass.

One of the greatest tacticians ever to coach.

Nothing wrong with that, I like his style.

That's the feeling I get...though with Lamb, Oriakhi, and Roscoe, he might have another shot.

A bad man.

He had any assistants go on to have success over the years? None immediately come to mind.

He isn't a sunday school teacher. Some people need an arse for a leader that will stay on them.

Leiato did well at Depaul and got wrecked at Virginia, he has a few guys coaching at low level d1 here in the region.

I think Kevin Ollie will be a good one someday.

I meant that in a good way, imo.

Not really. Karl Hobbs and Dave Leitao had some decent years, but they're the only guys to get a shot above the low major level.

I wasn't for sure with how everyone hates on him.

He also knows how to appease the 'AA when their investigators start sniffing around his program. Show the assistant coach the door.

What does Bruce Pearl have to do with this discussion?

What does Bruce Pearl have to do with this discussion?

I was just about to say how ironic it is that a University of Pearl supporter would be chiming in on cheating and lying.

Are you sure, Hat, he did say good coach.

I can live with merely good for Pearl.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

Not sure if I would even say merely good.

He was a good salesman, though.

Nope. Another wrong answer.
