Some great quotes, pure gold:

Marshall said Calhoun arrived in a yellow taxi at 9:45 a.m. and didn’t leave until 10 p.m.

Marshall got a jolt in his first practice at UConn when Calhoun gathered the team.
“He said, ‘Do you remember that kindhearted, soft-spoken man that came to your homes to recruit you?’ ” Marshall said. “We shook our heads yes. Then he said, ‘You’re never going to see that man again.’ I wanted to cry. I’m 3,000 miles from home. What am I going to do?”


I hope anyone who wishes to criticize his announcing style think twice. Bleed Blue!

That still makes me laugh every time I hear it

We never reached a final four that decade until the very end, but what a time that was.

Calhoun set a strong foundation

I think I've heard that story about 100 times but it still makes me laugh every time just because it's probably so true.
