Coach Calhoun will be on Big Mike today.....

[Hi-Low]

wishing him well as his show nears the finish line. Not sure of exact time but Mike just mentioned was coming up, so shortly I assume.

What a great chat....thanks for the heads up

What a great chat....thanks for the heads up

Yeah, that was a really fun listen....

Old Big East days, Northeastern triple OT tourney game vs Nova putting JC on the map & how Kemba & Reggie Lewis were most kindred spirits to JC of all his players....some of highlights.

Does anybody have the audio?

[Horatio]

Thank you

 

[Guapo]

This is totally incoherent to anyone outside the New York to Boston corrodor.

And it is beautiful.

Music to my ears.

 

[Marty Jackson]

Can actually understand calhoun

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Completely agree with Calhoun on the game moving too much to a dribble-dribble-dribble-dribble-throw up a three offensive mentality. Very little skill is involved there.

I just got done listening — if anyone needs me, I’ll be running through a brick wall.

 

[jayteeman]

"Just need to buy in...buy in with what we are trying to do", and of course have a guy like Kemba with work ethics where he really enjoys what he is doing, a role model that players gravitate to and want to be on that same page.
We've seen this movie before. How about another sequel.

Exactly. I kinda wish I was a Div. 2 / Div. 3 level player or asst. Coach right now.

 

[LIuconn]

He sounds energized

 

[mauconnfan]

Mike made a great point on a young coach 22-24 years old telling him to go to JC and say I will sweep the floors at St Joes or whatever you want and volunteer my assistance for your knowledge.

He does sound great! Love JC

 

[Huskybass]

JC is a national treasure. Absolutely the perfect guy to do what needed to be done at UConn. We are so fortunate that he changed everything.

 

[huskiesnyc]

I hope he keeps an office at UConn forever. Really glad to hear him so upbeat and in good health.

JC is the definition of Northeast Basketball, there’s never been a college basketball coach that did it better in the Northeast part of the country...

Greatest ever, Guy is an absolute beast, he’s the definition of a great Northeast basketball coach...

Yet he’s correct when he admits how important the 3 is in todays game. Cited 38% being equal to 50%. If that’s been the case for some time why haven’t we recruited that way?

Not sure there is anyone who really ever did it better anywhere.

 

[The Funster]

Definitely on the Mt Rushmore of college basketball coaches.

"i had a little problem with cancer" Jeezus crist!!! This man has onions the size of beach balls.

He's the definition of a great basketball coach - no boundaries here

@Hi-Low thanks for posting this I jumped on the steam at work this afternoon and caught the interview. My favorite quote of the entire thing was (I'm paraphrasing I'm sure): "Everybody talks about we, and they're 100% right, we have to win. But I've got to show them why the me benefits so much from the we".

 

[Marbles90]

Thanks for posting the stream. Brought me back to the days Mike (& Chris) would have him on during the post season - Big East tourney and/or NCAA tourney. And wow don’t we all miss the Big East Tourney?? It was always my favorite weekend. I would take the Thursday off from work and go down to NYC and watch both sessions ~ all four games. And be back for the next night for the semis. JC was right. The building was always electric.

As noted in the previous post when Mike mentioned Calhoun, he once again mistook the GTech final game with Duke semi final game in 2004.

And St Joes in West Hartford is division 3. How much a “program”will JC be able to build there?

Either way I am 5 minute walk from the St Joes campus. Can’t wait to see him out there!!
