In 1986, Jim Calhoun was named Head Coach of the University of Connecticut men’s basketball team. At his introductory press conference, Calhoun was asked if it was possible to turn the perennial-cellar-dwelling Huskies into a national powerhouse. His response, “it’s doable.”
Calhoun will officially retire tomorrow having led UConn to three National Championships and heights no one (besides possibly Calhoun himself) could have imagined. Farewell, Coach. Thanks for everything.
