Not that this is a surprise or anything...
The HQ anticipated this happening for quite some time... it just came down to the time where UConn men's hoops coach Jim Calhoun decided that enough was enough and he had to focus on fighting his health battles first and leaving the program he built to others...
Calhoun, elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005, is a three-time cancer survivor (prostate once and skin cancer twice). He missed eight games last season while suffering from a spinal condition. He also returned four days after having back surgery to coach UConn for the last game of the regular-season and the postseason- which included a tournament loss to Iowa State.
Kevin Ollie is supposed to be named his successor...
Calhoun also served a three-game suspension at the start of the Big East Conference season last winter for "failing to maintain an atmosphere of compliance in his program," violations that went back to 2008 before the investigation was finalized.
