Calhoun and Ollie both on with BIG Mike

[Dogdeacon]

Assume you meant Northeastern.

I doubt JC would go backwards like that, but maybe since he is a Boston guy. Very comfortable lifestyle to move into a city in your retirement so maybe that's attractive and a school like Northeastern minimizes the recruiting demands. They would come to him there.

I could also see SFlorida even though they are in UConn's conference. Calhoun certainly wouldn't take a job at a UConn rival or major competitor, but I'd be he'd rationalize that one into boosting both SF and UConn by raising the profile of the conference.

All of these possibilities are probably < 10% chance though. For example not much less likely than Calhoun considering coaching the Knicks if Big Chief Triangle called.

Rather than hurt the program, I think talk about Calhoun coaching again is good for the UConn brand. And that (more likely than him actually taking a job), I think is the biggest reason he's throwing his hat into the ring a bit.

I doubt if Calhoun wanted it this way, but come on coach defer attention to Ollie (and the remarkable job he's done) for one more week, please.

I'm not so sure. He's talking to anyone with mic. If UConn lost last week he'd only be getting a fraction of the attention. But KO and the team seem to be fine with it, it gives the UConn story wider reach just when they could use it so I'm OK with it myself (not that it matters).
