Greatness is determined by what kind of kids you get, the way the program is run and by the support you get from the university.”<< >>“I fully plan to coach the team,” Calhoun said. “At St. Joe's, they've said do [it however long] you want. I said, two-year contract, let's do it that way. I would like to coach in the new building. That's kind of my goal, and then we'll see what happens.<< Absent some unforeseen personal/medical issue arising - it looks like a go. [/QUOTE]
