That UConn left the Big East

UConn beating Duke in 99 was an upset and how that Duke team would beat us 8 out of 10 times lol.

2014 might be the least lucky Championship of all time. They went through a veritable murders row of opponents.

Beat the champs from the A-10, Big East, Big 12, Big 10, and SEC (#1 overall, on 30 game win streak... last loss to UConn) in succession only to defeat Kentucky - who some said had the best recruiting class of all time - to win the whole friggin' thing.

That there is no UConn basketball history before Jim Calhoun. Sure he brought it up a couple of notches but any one who is old enough has some great memories. 1964 elite 8, 1976 sweet 16.

*that putting on a UConn uniform and achieving some measure of success immediately qualifies you to be a great coach someday.

Alternatively, that being a "member of the family" disqualifies you from being a good assistant and that all of our problems will go away if we hire someone from the outside.

That Clyde Vaughn had more player-developmental impact on the program than anyone not named Calhoun, and in fact, might be the greatest big mans coach of all time.

That Jim Calhoun was more important to UConn's academic rise than Lew Rome and Harry Hartley.
