Jim Calhoun may have been retired for the past five years, but that doesn’t mean he’s done coaching forever.
According to Dom Amore of the Hartford Courant, the three-time national champion and UConn Huskies legend has had “serious discussions” about coming on to serve as the inaugural men’s basketball coach at the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, who will begin playing Division III basketball in 2018 as the school admits male students for the first time.
Rumors of Calhoun returning to coaching have ranged from plausible, like following the Larry Brown route in 2014, to ridiculous (looking at you, BC) and everywhere in between, but there hasn’t been one like this that makes some sort of sense for both parties.
