Congratulations Coach Calhoun


Last night, Coach Jim Calhoun of the UConn Huskies was enshrined into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Yeah, I'm a huge Huskies fan, but even a non-fan (yes, this includes the delusional Duke fans) can agree that Calhoun's resume makes him deserving of this honor.

  • 2 national championships (1999, 2004)
  • 10 Sweet 16's, 6 Elite 8's, and 2 Final Fours
  • 8 Big East regular season titles
  • 6 Big East tournament titles
  • 4 time Big East coach of the year (1990, 94, 96, 98)
  • consensus national coach of the year (1990)
  • NIT championship (1988)
  • one of only six coaches with 200+ wins at 2 different schools
  • 703 wins ranks him 18th overall, 6th among active coaches
Congrats Coach, and here's to continued success.
