An ironic (?) thing happened on the way from the celebration. You may recall our hero, and it was heroic, got busted in Hartford for something street crime related the following summer after our Huskies shocked the world. That's about the time I said out of here for the men's team.
"Former UConn basketball player Khalid El-Amin spent Sunday night and much of Monday at the Hartford Correctional Facility after he was taken into custody for failure to pay child support, the Hartford Courant reported.
El-Amin, who lives in the Minneapolis area, owed about $126,000 in delinquent child support to a Hartford area woman whom he had a child with 18 years ago. He was released Monday afternoon after paying $10,000 and promising to follow a payment schedule of $780 per month, the Courant reported.
He was taken into custody after failing to appear at two court dates.
The 39-year-old El-Amin was in the area for the 20th anniversary celebration of UConn’s 1999 national title. El-Amin was the face of the team that won the Huskies’ first NCAA title that season, an immensely popular player and the leader of the team."
