Wow - haters gonna hate!

No real suprises on the cast...

Les Carpenter from YooHoo ~ Jim Calhoun's conflicted legacy at UConn includes titles, prestige and hypocrisy

Gary Parrish from CBS Sports ~ With UConn on probation, banned from tourney and lacking talent, it's no wonder Calhoun is retiring

Gary Parrish should not be writing for CBS instead maybe for the CBA........he's putrid and bias beyond belief and CBS should be embarrassed by the !

Which B'Yarder claimed he looked like a pimple?

Why even link the articles or give them attention? That's what they're getting paid for.

JC got greedy. Should have retired after winning the NC in 2011.

Why? Don't get it. What difference would it have made?

It's easy to say that now since you know the results of last season. But you were Calhoun and had potential stars in Jeremy Lamb, Andre Drummond, and key returning players like Oriakhi, Napier, and Smith, you would do the same thing. He thought he had a chance to go back-to-back and it didn't work out.

Here's the thing - who the duck* cares?

Someone tried to post a thread from the Kentucky board earlier tonight - it's gone because who the duck* cares what anyone else thinks?

People are going to do what they do to tear our boy down and elevate whatever sack of failure coach they're in the bag for.

I don't care, you shouldn't care, we collectively shouldn't care - not today.

Leave the nonsense where you found it.

hahahahahahahahaha

When you can't engage you have lost before the game started. Just remember that in real life when who can't hide behind a moderators mask.

Later lackey.

I have Observer and Blue on ignore why can I still read their posts?

You have it all wrong! He wasn't selfish...KO would NEVER have been given the HC position at that time... and Calhoun knew that! You could easily make the case that he did the extra year so one of his former players could be successful in coaching, just as he was as a player!

forget(wished I could have used another word) all these bum- writers who want to kick around the "academic failures" and "booster" comments. This is big-time college sports, we all know what really goes on. Lose and get fired., Build a powerhouse from rubble, become a Legend and that's Jim Calhoun Period.

You Can Hate if You Want, But Your Wasting Your Time!

the writers up here that pick and prey on uconn bball would not last a day down south in fball country. they should feel blessed JC gave them all careers and that we dont have crazy bball fans like sec fball school do. one or 2 writers up here would have prob had houses burnt down or worse down south.

I care because Calhoun doesn't deserve that.

Guys from a syracuse perspective Jim Calhoun will go down as one of the greatest coaches of all time. As our Jim said he took a non-existent program and built it into a powerhouse. Jim also said its much easier to take a program like Duke,NC,Kentucky,UCLA etc they are established, then to start from scatch like Jim Calhoun. Cuse fans have a sort of hate for Georgetown, because of the original thompson and the thugs he put on the court. With Uconn its always been a mutual respect, check out the 6 overtime game. That game will go down as one of the greatest games ever played, already it is a classic, it was only fitting 2 friends coached in that game,also went into the hall at same time. Sorry for being long winded, but I'm counting on more Uconn - Syracuse soon ,both in the ACC so we can show NC-Duke what a real rivalry is.

Boeheim's interview from this morning with Colin:

Made some great points and overall you could just see he has a bigtime respect for JC
