Pretty clear Jim Calhoun misses coaching....

[G0UCONN]

Wouldn't be shocked to see a comeback after that interview....

 

[tykurez]

Yea interesting answer. I don't think I could stomach watching him coach elsewhere though.

It took that interview to realize a person as insanely competitive as Jim Calhoun would miss coaching?

 

[G0UCONN]

Not just miss it...is thinking or would consider about coming back somewhere...

 

[husky99]

His wife would seriously kill him...

 

[Hoophound]

What didn't he say? I didn't see it.

 

[G0UCONN]

Gist was...

Katz asked him about what he misses and mentioned Larry Brown having success being three years older than him.

JC said he misses everything about it especially the kids and Brown is an inspiration.

Katz asked if he would coach again and he didn't say no...said his focus is watching UConn play and rooting for them. Way he reacted, it was pretty clear he is thinking about or would consider a comeback...

I'm gonna say it because I'm DRUNK your an IDIOT!

JC just had a bad run health wise with several bouts of cancer plus the fractured hip when he fell off his bike. I dont think Brown had much of that. Head coaching is so much stress

Agreed..good points. I never thought it a possibility...but after hearing that interview, I am not so sure...

 

[Bryan Lord]

Associate head coach: Jim Calhoun

 

[g_smith]

No way he coaches anywhere else. He has a job here. And he gets to watch the basketball empire he built continue to dominate.

 

[UofMemphis]

Calhoun to Memphis! I kid, I kid...kind of.

 

[jibsey]

It's not happening, but he likes to stay relevant it's in his DNA compete wise. Flying around recruiting, uh huh.

 

[TRest]

I could see him at a low-expectation place like Central. Just to keep his hand in.

 

[patrick]

Omg this thread is as stupid as my wife thinking I'm not going to drink tomorrow night!

 

[Bryan Lord]

+1

 

[willie99]

no way he leaves us, he's the Godfather and he's still involved

he loves the school, his program, KO and all the kids who played at UConn

he's simply not leaving the family he built

 

[amory]

Calhoun to Memphis! I kid, I kid...kind of.

There's people over on the memphis boards calling for Josh's head, and saying Calhoun should replace him lol

Pretty sure they're not kidding

 

[willie99]

said much more eloquently than I did

 

[Bryan Lord]

I actually like JP now, he's a great interview.

 

[Scoe]

The interview means nothing, Michael Jordan said during his HOF speech he will come back at age 50 to play against Kobe and Lebron. Calhoun is one of the most competitive people your ever gonna see you ask him if he misses coaching what do you think he's gonna say.

Pretty sure they're not kidding

our board turns into "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" after Ls

What if Calhoun was hired to coach at BC? Could you imagine?!

 

[Husky25]

E.O. Smith? Within biking distance of his house. Only sticking point is you can't recruit at a public high school.

OTOH, how many families with kids with even a hint of basketball aptitude set up residency in Storrs/Mansfield? Good for the tax base...just sayin...
