The GOAT.

There is no amount of money that I wouldn’t pay for footage of JC smacking some sense into Hurley when he was having buyer’s remorse about taking the job.

I would run through a wall for that man.
Don’t you just love it when he puts his dime back I mean his two cents in?

That man has IT. This program's got the LOYALTY stank all over it. It's a foundational quality of successful great men. It's on Hawk's arm. I love this.

Jim Calhoun is a treasure. He's done it all and done it all well. He is clearly one of the Greatest of All Time. He is, without a doubt, the VERY BEST bench coach anyone has ever seen. That alone separates him from all others. He has a feel for the game that no one else has and the audacity to back it up and the best evaluator of talent as well.

During the 1999 championship game, no one gave us a chance to beat K. He had been made a saint by Vitale and Dook was the 'best team ever assembled.' We fell behind a couple of points early then came back and made it a 4-5 point game throughout. Late in the first period, Jim inserted Antric Klaiber into the lineup. Klaiber probably didn't see 2 or 3 minutes on average throughout the whole season. He was clearly a practice player. But Jim put him in for a couple minutes just to make a statement. He was telling K and Vitale and the entire Dook team, "We are going to beat your ass regardless of who we have on the court." Word has it that we did!

He is one of one!

I’d never bet against this old geezer! He is GOD of basketball under the disguise of UConn Men’s coach.

DH is smart taking advantage of Coach's wisdom.. Coach is having a ball being asked for his input and really enjoys these kids.

Lets win the double heada !!

 

[dtrumpet]

"People come back here, they talk about Rip, Kemba, Emeka and Ben...and they'll talk about you." Thats the one that got me.

I kind of wish that took place before they took the court in Houston.

But it worked this way last week.

Coach will be in Houston. I don't expect him not to be invited into locker room/practice..
