Shabazz Napier Tells NCAA To Suck It

((HT: Lost Lettermen/JWeber238 via Instagram))

This is a reporter's worst nightmare... an athlete during a celebration who wants to tell you something...

Just ask Shabazz Napier


What he's referring to is the ban given to UConn by the NCAA for their low APR grades...

And the irony given that Mark Emmert was the one handing out the trophy is not lost on folks...

And Kevin Ollie Was Hot, Too...???

UConn head coach Kevin Ollie wasn't too long for the floor in the second half tonight in the game against Louisville...

Here's the outburst...


The technicals were way quick...
And, apparently, Ollie went all big-eyed over the quickness and had to be restrained...

Should be interesting if Ollie gets really suspended over this one...

DEVELOPING: Calhoun Retiring From UConn

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.

Here's John Anderson and Andy Katz discussing...
