Eaton-Robb @ AP: Calhoun says he expects to coach DIII Saint Joseph

>>"I fully expect to coach Saint Joe's next year," he said. "I fully expect to and then we'll leave it at that."<<


Background thread: Calhoun to officially take St. Joe's job

Mike Anthony: Jim Calhoun Sounding, Acting, Like A Coach Again

>>There are some complications to work out. Calhoun is under contract as a full-time state employee at UConn, in an advisory role. He’s a consultant at St. Joseph. Coaching would essentially mean reversing those roles. Calhoun would have to assume a part-time role at UConn while working full-time at USJ, and he’ll have to make sure the Office of State Ethics sees no issue with any arrangement. He expects resolution within a month, and his official start date at USJ would be Sept. 1.<<

Took me way too long to figure out who Dill St Joseph was.

Calhoun is in a bit of a pickle with this situation.

I knew JC was still affiliated with UConn, but I had no idea he had a full time position.

want to give Kudos to John Calhoun on this. The publicity of this is helping St Joes, Hartford and even UCONN. The number of applicants for STJ is up 80%, the enrollment in the freshman class is 50% higher and the number of male students is way more then expected. This is STJ first male undergraduate class. I dont care about basketball in STJ and UCONN should see this as a net plus for the community as a whole. STJ is now big time into health allied professions. They have the only Family Nurse Practitioner program in Hartford. The increase enrollment in St Josephs will help CT alleviate the nursing and medical shortage here

After all the issues with Corey Edsall, I hope that the state ethics board finds Jim's deal to be kosher.

Kosher DIll?

Yale recently renamed one of its residential colleges away from John Calhoun. Maybe @Whtdmd can make amends by shifting his allegiance from St. John to St. Joseph.

I knew something was a bit off with the John Calhoun reference, but I couldn't quite figure out what. Nice catch ...

Best part is the expression completely works as a response in and of itself.

Lol I know, it was almost perfect. There's an even better one but it wouldn't load

Yes, it's CRUNCH time.

The Netflix/ESPN documentary on this should get us some good publicity. I cant wait to see this.

I don't think your average NCAA D-III men's BB referee is adequately prepared for the coming tornado known as James A. Calhoun. It may be a vortex the likes of which has never before been seen or experienced at that level.

Think about it. Probably the least qualified NCAA men's basketball referees vs. the Mad Irishman. Brace yourselves, D-III zebras!
