An old friend visits Kemba Walker at day 2 of Celtics training camp

During team practice on Wednesday, Kemba Walker was visited by his old college basketball coach and close friend Jim Calhoun, who had a lot to say about Walker and his new situation.
Currently coaching at the University of Saint Joseph, Calhoun was formerly the head coach of the Northeastern University Huskies as well as the University of Connecticut Huskies. Having been at UConn for nearly 3 decades, Calhoun led the Huskies through 874 games in which they won a total of 629 (72%) and 3 NCAA championships. The final championship at UConn was a number 3 seeded team in the tournament led by none other than Kemba Walker, who became a superstar in the world of basketball as a result.
