Jim Calhoun Announces Retirement From Division III Saint Joseph

Former UConn men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun appears to be completely done with coaching. He is stepping down as head coach at the University of Saint Joseph, a small Division III school in West Hartford, Conn.

Calhoun came out of retirement after five years away from the sport to help launch the USJ program in 2017. A year later, the Blue Jays had their inaugural season, going 16–12. In year two, the 2019–20 season, the team went 26–3, reaching the Division-III NCAA Tournament.

After a shortened 2020–21 season, finishing 2–2, Calhoun says the time is right to step away from coaching once again.
