I would have JC on a ladder ( great symbolism) holding up a net. I would probably lose the scissors. Loosely based on the photo below.

I think it should be the arms crossed, slight grin of satisfaction pose (something like this). This sums up Calhoun and shows him taking pride in what he built at UCONN. I'd like to see it at the new practice facility on a second floor overlooking the new men's practice court so he can look down on his team in perpetuity.

JC taking emmert from behind while emmert takes hathaway in his mouth
 
Calhoun always sitting with his hand to his face, showing off a ring.
 
Standing erect, yelling at something with little suspended concrete spittles flying from his mouth.

You could then imagine the "you suck" being yelled at his players.
 
or better yet:

Just a dime...with Jim's face on it instead of FDR.
 
I don't know how it would look as a statue or which player you would use, but my favorite image is Jim hugging one of his guys. The emotion displayed and the emotion felt when viewing these scenes along with the breaking voices of his guys when commenting on their feelings for him are just incredible. A statue that could somehow capture that would be awesome.
