Coaching Uconn

Just don't know if anyone (JC included) could have done it. JC did something pretty similar though in 2011 w/Kemba.

I'll say this about those saying that maybe JC couldn't connect anymore. I don't think that is true at all. Shabazz and Boatright made it pretty clear that they loved playing for JC, just in a way that is different from what they feel for Ollie.

I do think that Calhoun had struggled to be able to mold his teams the way he wanted. I think the last team I saw that was a vintage Calhoun UConn team (improve consistently over two years, explode in the third year) was the 2009 team. If Dyson doesn't go down then I think we would have had a one of the all time classic final games v UNC that year.

Yep.

I still don't get why you are discounting 2011 though. JC had that team a well greased machine. They won 13 tournament games!

Those who doubt Jim Calhoun are wrong, way more often than not.
