Just when you thought it was time for Jim Calhoun to step aside, he throws a Final Four at ya. With all that has gone down this season, from the NCAA sanctions to the under classmen team, Calhoun has put together what might be his best coaching job ever. Remember, this is the team that was picked to finish 9th in the Big East.
I can admire a guy his age who can still bring it every day, who can still get excited every day, who can still compete every day. There will be some talk the next week or two about Calhoun going out on top and win or lose, this is an on top season.
I hope he stays. He gets teams into the tournament and then coaches them to Final Fours. The NCAA sanctions will tarnish his image, for sure, but his legend is so substantial the impact, I think, will be minimal.
