Jim Calhoun to ponder his future at UConn

Connecticut men’s basketball Coach Jim Calhoun says he will take some time to decide his future following recent negative reports about his program.

Following a recent contest, a reporter confronted Calhoun about him collecting six-figure salary while the economy in Connecticut and rest of the country is struggling.

Those items are joined by a recent report by Yahoo! Sports that the Big East Conference School is dealing with alleged recruiting violations.

During the next 2, 3, 4, 5 months, which I always do and have done for the last 10 years, I will be reflecting on some things, he told the Hartford Courant after Saturday’s surprising 82-73 loss to Michigan State at the Final Four at Detroit.

Calhoun, 66, said an NCAA gag order prohibits him from discussing the recent allegations.

I couldn’t be more disappointed in people who just jump on and make two people all of a sudden become the expert on who Jim Calhoun is. That’s incredibly disappointing.
