  • NCAABB Q&A

    Any thoughts on the retirement of Jim Calhoun??? Very sad up here in Uconn country….Who should replace him? Should they leave the big east and go to the ACC?

     

    I was sad when I heard about the retirement of Jim Calhoun. Kevin Ollie, a Assistant coach and UCONN grad will take the reins. He has BIG shoes to fill as Jim Calhoun had 3 National Championships.Good Big East basketball schools should consider joining the ACC full or partial or basketball-only. The big east is falling the ACC has stole Syracuse, Pitt and now Notre Dame so yes about the third part.
