"Jim Calhoun to retire"... four words I hoped never to see. Sad day for UConn fans everywhere.

They just announced it on NBC.

Source very close to Coach Calhoun tells me he'd be "shocked" if Calhoun doesn't retire before the season starts.

if true it's been a great ride. i respect the hell out of that man and what he's done for this university and this state cannot be overstated.

nevertheless, we need to search for the best replacement. if that happens to be KO great, but i hope we don't just default to him.

UConn's G.O.A.T. Greatest of all time. Thanks all the great years, and for turning me into a UConn fan in all things in the sixth grade.

Officially the worst day in Connecticut basketball history.

 

[MattMang23]

Knew this day would have to come at some point. Hard pill to swallow.

Thank you Jim Calhoun. You're an absolute legend. You've (probably more than anyone else) helped build this university into a top institution athletically, and indirectly, academically.

You will be missed and everyone associated with UConn owes you a debt of gratitude.

Thank you, Coach.

I almost feel like crying.

The greatest program builder in the modern era, IMO. A fantastic game coach, talent evaluator, recruiter and teacher. One of the best ever. Sure, he was rough around the edges to be polite but UConn fans, students and players owe him a lot. Hope he can enjoy retirement and lives a nice long one in the sun, assuming this is true.

Sad, sad day.
Thank you, Jim. You've done a university and an entire state proud. You are a true hero. You've taught many the true meanings of resolve, perseverance, diligence, leadership, and working towards a better community. And you've made a lot of our winters that much more bearable. Here's to sustained health and happiness. Thank you.

Sad day for the state of Connecticut, the University, the fans, and the current and former players.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

More than just a Coach... a true maker of men.

And one of the last of a dying breed.

We're lucky to have had him as long as we did, and as such, I feel only gratitude.

Goodbye! :::sheds tear:::

 

[ConnHuskBask]

A true legend and one of the best coaches of all time.

Calhoun is and always will be UConn Basketball

Thanks, Coach.

I might cry.

 

[MattMang23]

I almost feel like crying.

Just almost?

I admit it, I shed a tear. I don't know what else to do...

This is really sad. I know this is probably best for the program, but I cant even think of us without JC. Also really sad that the NCAA screwed our program and he has to leave it in this state. Especially, since the BE is falling apart and our future may be in trouble. But this is not time to focus on how possibly screwed we may be. Now is the time to remember all he did for our program. The greatest college basketball coach of all time. Did the best job building a program of any coach ever. JC, the greatest.

I might cry.

I already beat you to it
