I'm doing the job to get there.” << >>He’s on an upswing. I’ve seen Calhoun up close and often through many of his health problems over the past 15 years. This is one of those times when he’d typically return to his 100 MPH, move-or-I’ll-run-you-over way of operating, waking up to find a battle to fight because that’s what keeps the engine turning. I’ve always said he’s great for the same reasons he can be difficult. But there’s something different this time, something additional. That fulfillment. There is hope. New fields are being built. Ground will be broken on a new basketball facility in August. Heck, Calhoun got excited Wednesday while describing a makeover to the USJ cafeteria. He has new neighbors on the little campus, new friends, “a commonality that you find [that] should never be wiped away by time and circumstance.”<< Not bad considering there were some who said he would never actually coach a game @ USJ.
