Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 3526669, member: 25"] The event had it's run. A really unique run that, if you were part of and attending the earlier ones? Was something special. Truth is, Jim Calhoun has been gone a while. Hurley has no connection to the Calhoun era. And the NBA pipeline, which was once flowing mightily, has all but dried up right now. Makes no sense to trot this out there in front of much lesser crowds and no panache of current NBA talent. That said? I know firsthand that, at one point early on, there were discussions of a UConn alumni vs Duke alumni charity game (both Nike schools) and Duke couldn't get the players to commit. So, that says a lot about the family and love for the school that players had for Jim Calhoun. [/QUOTE]
