Thanks. What was the context for the announcer's comment "There aren't any elite players in the state of Connecticut?"

Context was talking about Calhoun retiring and success at UConn.

Fanta asks Katz how he did it. Answer starts with talking about the Big East and TV exposure from that conference.

Then he says recruiting all over the country because there aren't elite players on CT.

Katz does realize that Calhoun's first really good team had Chris Smith and Scott Burrell?

While CT is too small to build a complete team out of, there were plenty of elite CT players back in the 1980's when Calhoun got to UConn.

Also odd thing to say when Calhoun joined the BE at a time when much of the Big East had had success with Conn. talent -- for instance, BC with Jay Murphy, John Bagley, Michael Adams to Villanova with Harold Jensen, John Pinone and Harold Pressley, to Pitt with Charles Smith, I may be missing on some, that's just the top of my head. Not to mention non-BE talent like Camby at UMass.

Katz is pretty terrible at in-game commentary; should stick with reporting.
