Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2944349"] Lew Perkins and Harry Hartley were two administrators who got along splendidly with Jim Calhoun. But, agree about Hathaway and Emmett. Personally, Chief saw Emmett as a dishonesty phony too and considered Hathaway a bureaucrat. I really do think Calhoun admires the diplomacy traits Tom has - not that he would want to adopt them for himself LOL. Because that’s not who he is. He did jokingly call him the “politician” which to him meant the same thing as diplomatic. Many saw George Blaney as a calming influence too, perhaps because Calhoun respected him, could relate to his Irish Jersey City type background and he kept his cool. That created a good bench balance. I think Calhoun saw George as brilliantly analytical and contrary to the belief of some posters - if it was a NCAA tournament game - George NOT Glen Miller would do the scouting report. [/QUOTE]
