While Calhoun was a great Coach ( with undeniably low ethics... as NCAA sanctions, and Uconn Admin. would acknowledge )
This is a narrative I see written about Calhoun by a lot of opposing fans. The story they want to push is that Calhoun never cared about his kids' academic standing or their future after basketball. In no uncertain terms, this narrative is complete horse$hit.
Calhoun never played the "student-athlete" game like the bureaucrats on Chestnut Hill or the rest of the NCAA because the future of his kids was his highest priority. Sometimes that means you advise kids like Gavin Edwards to drop out of school to chase professional dreams even though it'll mean your grad rate will take a hit.
The NCAA rules were written without the best interest of the athletes in mind. If you want to try to claim otherwise, good luck with that.
Look at the collection of men that make up the UConn Men's Basketball fraternity objectively. Look at what they've accomplished and how they're respected by their peers after college. Then look at how much credit they give to Calhoun for turning them into men.
That's what it's all about.
The crap about ethics is ignorance and nothing more.
