[Hey Adrien!]

Arguably the proudest I've ever been for a UConn alum hire. It's amazing where Caron has gone from where he came from. What an incredible story.

I'm not a big NBA watcher, but the Heat became a favorite of mine after how they played in the bubble.

Great news. Glad to see him get the opportunity and if he coaches with the energy and drive he played with, he will be a very good coach. Always good to see a former Husky player enter the coaching ranks.

 

[Palatine]

How long before he's a head coach? Sorry, but it will take longer than 20 minutes.

I never knew Caron had any aspirations to become a coach. This has been a great week for UConn guy’s in that respect with Mark Daigneault becoming the HC of OKC, and now Caron getting a job as an asst with the Heat.

This is also good to see more Calhoun/UConn disciples moving up in the coaching ranks. Right now, its Pikiell at Rutgers, Leitao at Depaul, and Burrell at SCSU. I hope Daigneault and Caron will have sucess at the NBA level.

That's an easy thing to do given his record at Central.

 

[Chief00]

Happy for Caron. He does stuff the right way, no shortcuts. He will transfer that attitude to the players.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Probably one of my favorite Huskies, even more so after reading his book. Happy for him.

The Young Bucks on their roster will benefit from his wisdom.. Riley knows what he's doing..
