| Hopefully, Jim Calhoun Will Finally Get His Due.
What he has done at UCONN is the greatest program building job in the history of college basketball. He took over a program with less basketball tradition than Providence and has now won more national titles than Dean Smith. He's one of the ten best all time. Period. |

| A bad man.
He had any assistants go on to have success over the years? None immediately come to mind.

I think Kevin Ollie will be a good one someday. | |
