Jim Calhoun to Retire

One of the biggest head coaches in College Basketball will now take his final bow.

UConn head coach Jim Calhoun will retire after 40 years of coaching the college game. He was coach of Northeastern from 1972-1986 and then from '86 onward was the head coach of UConn. He won 3 national titles in 1999, 2004, and 2011. He has won a total of 873 games during his head coaching tenure. Calhoun had two years left on his contract and the UConn basketball team was ruled ineligible from the 2013 NCAA Tournament due to the academic performance of their players in the past. Assistant coach Kevin Ollie will take over the Huskies Basketball team which is who Calhoun wanted to succeed him.

Calhoun's legendary career made UConn basketball what it is today. He gave that university a great basketball program that will hopefully continue their winning ways. He is widely respected despite the infractions and will be remembered for being a great coach.
