Yes, we saw the SNY report that UConn coach Jim Calhoun is set to retire according to a “source close” to the coach. Chris Carlin said it on the air, it seems.
A few phone calls by yours truly Monday night couldn’t confirm this. Quite the contrary, no one had heard Calhoun say it. That being said, no one has said since Calhoun returned to the sidelines that it won’t happen.
Now, it’s not that I doubt the veracity of Mr. Carlin’s source, but I’m not sure that any person other than Calhoun himself and perhaps his family knows the answer.
Will Calhoun retire at the end of the season? Sure, it could happen.
Will he stay on? I certainly wouldn’t put it past him.
I just think the breaking news will probably came straight from the horse’s mouth.

Is that why Tommy Penders has been seen recently at the UCONN campus?

Ha!
No correlation, I’m sure.

I talked to a source close to Stanley Robinson that said he might show up today and ball. Does that mean I can get a show like that jerk Carlin now?
