Pretty clear Jim Calhoun misses coaching....

[UConn990411]

He's not going to return to coaching.

 

[alexd]

That ship has most likely sailed, but years ago, didn't JC say in his book that he would always have to consider coaching the Celtics if offered???

 

[Kitaman]

You guys are funny. I see it this way:

I love s_ex its in my blood. love it. When I watch s_ex I always feel like I'm ready to get into action.

Then reality follows and my body won't let me do it like I used/want to. And oh how I miss and yearn for it tremendously. In summary a bed to me is like the court to JC.

So if an interviewer were to ask me would I ever have s_ex again, I would certainly never say no even if I was 90 years old.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

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

Yeah it would be like seeing your father marry somebody else after 30 years being married to your mother.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Not that this would happen but..........

Would love to see him have seat number 1 on KO's bench.

"Hopefully where the ball is bouncing, that's where I'll be"

Love that quote. Hope I got it right

 

[hexlub]

Anyone else notice he had the 'old' Husky logo on his sweatshirt last night?

 

[storrsroars]

JC took the John Thompson path to retirement, but Larry Brown is showing him a different path and the fire still burns. I got the impression that if a call came he would listen....and then his wife would kill him.

Maybe not if he decided to coach Chaminade or Hawai'i.

 

[Danzz]

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

He misses some of coaching but he isn't coming back. He misses the kids and coaching the games but I don't think he misses practice everyday, recruiting, academic responsibility, and all the administrative stuff.

 

[Inyatkin]

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

I laughed at his S-T-U-N-K halftime interview

 

[MattMang23]

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

Oh, that's different than ours.

 

[Deadrody]

Of course he misses it. How could he NOT miss it ? Its all he did for 4 decades. Heck, the only thing I've done for 4 decades is breath. And yeah, if I suddenly stopped, damn right I'd miss it!

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

The reason Calhoun retired had nothing to do with lack of desire or passion. And nothing about the reasons he walked away has changed.

 

[Scoe]

I just watch the rebroadcast, and it was pretty obvious Calhoun was joking, he was joking about how Larry Brown is 3 years older then him. He mentioned he will always be around basketball that doesn't mean he will return to coaching.

 

[SellersElbow]

During that interview JC seemed to have his signature drive and strength. He looked ready to pick up the clipboard again and take on the challenge of motivating and organizing a team that has not experienced much success. He should coach for the tiger team that is hopefully working to get us into a better conference.

 

[Waquoit]

If SC offered him silly money he would take it in a heartbeat.

 

[uconndennis]

I think most of that was JC just still having that burning desire...never say never kind of thing, etc...

My guess, if he ever coaches again, which I doubt....it wont be in college. It would be at the international level, a spot on our national team...or some random country ponies up big bucks to let him run the show for a couple years.

 

[patrick]

It's "you're" an idiot, not "your" an idiot, you idiot

Thanks for clearing that up Bill!

JC left for his own reasons and I doubt that will ever change. The guy is getting paid mucho dollars being a "consultant" to the school and program. He travels to the games and gets feted about everywhere he goes. He doesn't want to get into the recruiting process and he seems much more stress free - something anyone desires.
He's won 3 nat titles is in the HoF owns several homes in places he loves - what can be better?
Coach again? - maybe as an associate of the Olympics
He's done it all
As far as I know he is UCONN thru and thru

It was nice to see JC sitting there at UConn games and now the tournament (scouting opponents).

I wonder how much input he is giving Ollie about team strategy and preparation.

Just chatted with Jim Calhoun. Seems to think interview with Andy Katz last night got blown out of proportion.

"I said, ‘(Larry Brown's) my hero, he’s 3 years older, maybe I’ll follow him. Maybe I’ll be his assistant next year

Calhoun on interview: "It was a 22-point game. I got some phone calls after. It was kind of funny.


Hahaha so he got some calls!? Interesting. Sounds like we weren't the only ones to blow it out of proportion.

Talked to Jim Calhoun, "I'm not planning on coaching again," #uconnmen


And another

So...

 

[James]

I could see him coaching at the international level. That's it really , definitely not college...

 

[Bryan Lord]

He can take over for KO when the nba comes calling.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

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

I fully believe that if it weren't for the broken hip, next season would have been his last.

 

[G0UCONN]

BC?

say it aint so....
