Jim Calhoun

Let the rumors begin. Goodman is claiming JC has interest in the BC job. Not buying it.

That would be utterly disgusting.

 

[intlzncster]

Inconceivable!. Goodman has a troll of a source or is stirring the pot.

Hopefully, JC is trolling BC.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Wow. Speechless.

I know it's a business and who am I to tell anyone what to do, but I'd feel legitimately betrayed by this. Calhoun made UConn everything it is today and owes us nothing, but this would be shocking if true.

Calhoun obviously has something up his sleeve. If he can make BC all nice and happy maybe he can sneak UConn into the ACC...

 

[The Viking]

It would make me feel better to hear "a source" rather than "sources".

Conspiracy Kitty: They're trying to distract us again in the tournament.

 

[BlueWhiteKid]

They just talked about it on SportsCenter. This better not happen. I hate BC more than I hate Hitler.

 

[ASweet3781]

Hey look at it this way, if Calhoun goes there it's highly unlikely he will allow the vendetta and blocking of us into the ACC by BC

 

[Candyman]

He will seem interested to get their hopes up and then decline. He hates BC.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Yeah, but is BC interested in him?

 

[intlzncster]

I think JC's 'interest' is interpreted differently by different people. The guy's not going to take the job.

BC is probably using this to drive publicity for their moribund head coaching position.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

This would be a disaster. I hope Calhoun knows how much we hate BCU.

This is the only reason I would try to stomach such a move... if it ever happened.

This.

 

[Kauffmak10]

He's gonna take the job and then sabotage the program.. Destroy them all JC!

 

[intlzncster]

Yeah, but is BC interested in him?

Given the state of their basketball program, I doubt they have the sense.

 

[tykurez]

Some ESPN interns interpreted that because Calhoun is from Massachusetts that he's obviously interested in the BC job and Jeff Goodman decided to call them sources and publish a story that is sure to cause a distraction.

If Calhoun coaching BC were somehow tied to UConn were entering the ACC, Calhoun would be coaching against Ollie, which I think he'd be unwilling to do.

Don't do it JC! Look what that kind of career path did for Anakin Skywalker!

P.S. - A diabolical plot would be to take the BC job for a huge salary and buyout, and sabotage their program, recruiting weak players with bad academics and not coaching them. But JC wouldn't do that. He would want to win.

 

[tcf15]

From the ESPN article: However, he did not rule out his interest in returning to the sidelines. "I would not be opposed to talking to anyone about basketball," Calhoun said.

Apparently, talking basketball = returning to coaching.

 

[Walker11]

It's annoying how little is needed to create a story. Goodman will likely be proven wrong almost immediately but there will be nothing wrong with his actions.

 

[RayRay19]

Only way he remotely even thinks about it is to get uconn into the ACC. UCONN is his baby. This is hilarious!

 

[Cheddie]

I would have to see it to believe it. Calhoun never had much love for BC, after they treated Northeastern as second class citizen. And you wonder what BC would hope to accomplish, beside a PR atom bomb. Rivals would immediately start using his age against him in recruiting.

As @GoodmanESPN reports, Jim Calhoun is interested in the Boston College job. The interest isn't mutual, sources tell Yahoo Sports.
