Bob Knight stepped away at age 67, Jim Calhoun retired at 69 (nice) and Steve Fischer just retired at age 72. Phog Allen, Adolph Rupp, Eddie Sutton and Jerry Tarkanian all retired before 73. Lou Henson retired just after he turned 73 and John Chaney was the oldest to ever coach division I at age 74. [/QUOTE]
