HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun is taking a leave of absence, effective immediately, due to undisclosed medical issues, the university announced Tuesday afternoon. "It is my recommendation that coach Calhoun take a medical leave from his coaching position to address some temporary medical issues, none of which involve any previous medical conditions that he has dealt with," said his physician, Dr. Peter Schulman of the University of Connecticut Health Center. "Our primary concern is coach Calhoun's health and his complete recovery. We will do everything possible to support coach during this time. Jim and I both know that the men's basketball program is in very capable hands under the leadership of associate head coach George Blaney," UConn athletics director Jeff Hathaway said.
Hmmmm. UConn on a 3 game losing streak. UConn falling out of the top 25 for the first time since 2008. And unless they beat Texas then they're out of conference wins add up to a pile of shit. That will make any man sick, especially Calhoun. Have you even seen that guy lately? I'm not a doctor but he sums up the description of a sick, old man. In other words, Jimmy beat the cancer a few times and he might have lost a couple rounds on the score card. I hate to say it but when it's all said and done and we talk about Calhoun's legacy I think people will all say about the same thing. Tough competitor, great coach, weak stomach.
