Message: [QUOTE="Scottobot, post: 4575641, member: 12452"] Some UConn fans are just ridiculous with their desire to boo and blame the head coach. Maybe some of you are not old enough to remember but the same booing and griping happened at start of Calhoun’s career. Season 1 - UConn went 9-19, and all the boo birds said “bring back Dom Perno” NIT championship season … 1 more loss and UConn would not have been eligible for NIT, and the boo birds were out again, until they made that run. Season after NIT Championship, fans expected and demanded JC get UConn into NCAA. Team didn’t make it, losing some close games at end of season. Again the boo birds came out and said Calhoun is never going to get thing team into NCAA. Then their was the dream season. They started that season awful losing to 2 bad teams in Alaska Shootout. Again the boo birds came out calling for Calhoun’s job. Then something miraculous happened, Nadaev Henefeld, a foreign player, who most people thought wouldn’t even make the rotation emerges as a freshman as one of the best players in the country. He probably got 2-3 steals a game on defense and was a key cog in UConn’s full court pressure defense. He was an incredible passer. He made clutch outside shots, and a solid rebounder. Without him the dream season doesn’t happen, and perhaps the boo birds run JC out of town. [/QUOTE]
