Calhoun at end of game...

[jec1521]

Was he REALLY arguing about not having the last basket count? wow, he must have bet on the -5 spread.

 

[samspann1]

should have counted, IMO.

I wish that Dion would have thrown it off the backboard, spun a 360, and then dunked it.

 

[orangeinohio]

Is that why he was swinging his arm at the end?

 

[HarrisonJBounel]

He wanted a five-second count on the inbound. He was swinging his arm like the refs do when they count. It had absolutely nothing to do with the last basket itself.

 

[Banned]

I thought he was telling the refs that Drummomd pushed CJ in the back on the rebound after the missed free throw. I concur Jim, thanks for your honesty.

 

[Deano]

Calhoun is and always will be a POS.

 

[HarrisonJBounel]

Calhoun is and always will be a POS.

With three national championships. And...

Personal life
Calhoun and his wife, Pat, live in Pomfret, Connecticut, have been married since 1967, and have two sons and six grandchildren. They also have purchased a home on Long Island Sound in Madison, Connecticut.
The couple, both of whom lost parents to heart disease, are known for their philanthropy, including the Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center at UConn and the annual Jim Calhoun Holiday Food Drive which has raised nearly $1 million supporting food assistance agencies that serve to help families in need throughout the State of Connecticut. In 1998, a $125,000 gift from Jim Calhoun and his wife Pat established the Jim and Pat Calhoun Cardiology Research Fund at UConn Health Center. The Jim Calhoun Celebrity Classic Golf Tournament was launched in 1999 and has since raised millions in support of the endowment fund. In 2003 & 2004, Coach Calhoun served as celebrity host of the black tie gala "Hoops For Hope", by Coaches vs. Cancer, a program established in 1993 by the American Cancer Society; the events raised over $400,000 for the ACS. 2007 is the first year of The Big Y Jim Calhoun Cancer Challenge Ride statewide event to benefit The Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Connecticut Health Center; the ride raised over $225,000.

Still a first class a-hole.

Just guessing there's many who would think the same of you...only a hunch though I admit!!

 

[jdubs30]

Not one dime

 

[kirbivore]

Much closer to a 5 second call than I would have liked, especially with two time outs in your pocket.

 

[orangenirvana]

Still a first class a-hole.

So is our coach. But both of them are brilliant basketball coaches, so who gives a crap how nice they are? They both deserve tons of respect.

Be wary of a lot of this kind of philanthropy. Most of it is done to keep the govt out of ones paycheck.

He definitely did. Can't believe it wasn't called and that no one really talked about it. It almost got UConn back in it. CJ had perfect position, boxed him out perfectly, then Drummond just shoves him and tips it in. Horrific non-call.

My buddy and I were going ballistic in the stands when that happened. We could see the foul from the third deck and the ref's couldn't?! They blew that one.

 

[SmilinBob]

After losing the coaches that broke in the big east Louie, Rollie and big john I'm going to miss that Calhoun guy once we stop playing or he retires. It adds so much more to the game when he's on the sideline. Hell, when we played UConn without Calhoun I didn't even know they had a coach on the bench.

I can't express in words just how wrong that is, and in so many ways.

 

[armory]

Never argue about taxes on the internet with someone using Obama as their avatar. They will report you to homeland security as a terrorist.

 

[iommi]

ha, armory.

 

[MGP]

I'll miss Calhoun like I missed Dom Perno
