Jim Calhoun Gets a Statue

[UChusky916]

How about down on one knee (he would always do this in a close game when he thought we were going to win) and clapping?

Yes that's a common thing he does while clapping... he did it during 2011 title game.

I think it would be odd to have a statue of him kneeling though

Talk to the hand b* tches!

Vintage?

Oh noooo, that will open up another can of worms about whether a white husky or blue & white husky should be used!!!

Some of these are hysterical. Miss ya JC!

"The UConn Husky has been white for 100 years. How dare you make him bronze!!!"

Good for JC. Well deserved. I hope they choose something that shows him evoking the passion that made him the HOF coach he is.

That looks like he's taking a dump.

He very well may have shat his pants once or twice though. So, plausible.

Jc would play such favorites with Kemba. Kemba could have sat down on the court and JC wouldn't say a peep. Used to be so funny! In Kemba we trust.

Raise the roof? A bold choice!

How about the What was that call?

Or you could go with a more classic Rodin inspired pose:

I caught a fish this big...

 

[BearJWS]

A technical for what???

 

[Vancat]

maybe just a bust

On the ladder holding the net.

I would have to assume there's one guarantee about the statue. It'll have Calhoun showing off a championship ring in some way.

That's because Kemba "got it" his junior year. He was as much an extension of Calhoun on the court as I've ever seen from a Husky.

Not sure you can get a better representation of the man than this one.

 

[Huskyforlife]

what a legend. as a young husky fan i wish i could have watched him more. thanks Coach Calhoun! he deserves this

 

[Kurt]

No one else has reported this. This is the same guy who said TS didn't graduate.

As you may remember, this is the end I suggested the BY $$$ be dedicated. Glad to see it happened, but would have been sweeter if BY had pushed it.

Hard to compete with a top shelf heart machine and cancer research.

 

[HuskyFan16]

Which picture? "Thats a really stupid question."

 

[Ts5034]

I agree with jleves. I think the arms folded is perfect. I like the image of JC holding the net but it maybe hard to have a statue of him up on a ladder.

This thread is not compete without a picture of him chewing out Blaney. "You recruited this bum?!!"
