CBS and Yahoo both love to take shots at Calhoun and UConn. The hatred really is evident and seeps through the computer screen.
The APR scores coupled with the NCAA violations have given people free reign to hammer UConn. What nobody mentions, however, is that UConn has stayed clear from any problems for two years now, as our APR scores have been excellent, and the violations a thing of the past.
Also, anybody who compares Jim Calhoun to Joe Paterno needs to have their head introduced to the side of a medal pole just out of sheer stupidity. I've legitimately never, ever seen a guy get so little leeway from the media than does Jim Calhoun. After the 2009-10 season, people were calling for him to retire, claiming he no longer had control over his program, and that his health and age were catching up to him. This, I remind you, was less than one year after Calhoun brought his team to the Final Four. One year later, Calhoun raises two middle fingers to his haters by winning his third national championship and less than a year later, those same people are once again calling for him to retire. So I ask: Just how *king stupid are people? I mean, this is a man who has gone to two final fours and won a National Championship in three seasons.
Not only should the man who built this program from nothing into an empire be able to retire whenever the *k he wants, but UConn's basketball program as of today is second to absolutely no one.
