Jim Calhoun On Coach Cal

[Clyde]

John Calipari Has Become ?a baloney? and ?kind of knows that,? Says His Friend, Jim Calhoun | The Big Lead

 

 

 

Here's the line that caught my attention:

 

I don’t do business the way he does. But he’s done a good job coaching. His way, one-and-done, most institutions are not going to allow do what Kentucky does.

 

 

Not going to allow?

Has become?

 

He always has been, Jim.

[LOOGY]

Comming from the guy who had his team disqualified from the tournament because he had a terrible APR score. What he did at UConn you can't do it anywhere or you'll get in some trouble.

[HammerTime]

Say the guy who got his team suspended from NCAA tourney play for APR issues. Most institutions won't allow that Jim.

 

Edit - Loogy beat me to it...

 

 

What exactly does he mean he doesn't do business that way? What you really mean is you can't get the top recruits year in and year out. Talking about being a bullcrapper.

This coming from a guy who left his team on probation. Thanks Coach Calhoun, you are one classy guy!

Wasn't it Calhouns players who were stealing computers from the school?

Lol, I was posting mine, in the middle of it when I got a phone call, finished the phone call and then finished typing my reply and when i hit post it was way too late lol.

 

great minds think alike.

What coach isnt a baloney.er

[lawildcat]

Irrelevant.

[Wireman]

I think what he's meaning is that most schools don't want their kids leaving after two semesters but who knows with Calhoun.

[LOOGY]

I'll give Calhoun credit because he is UConn basketball. But what do they say about those in glass houses?

[HammerTime]

Yeah I'm sure it's terrible for enrollment to have your name in the news as a top BBall program.

[BlueTip]

Calhoun is so irrelevant. Reminds me one of the best lines in Casablanca:

 

Urgate: (to Rick) "You despise me don't you?"

 

Rick: "If I gave you any thought I probably would."

Also heard him say this weekend that he's ready to coach again if the right situation came along.
