NBA Veteran and Former UConn Star Joins Karl Hobbs' Staff WASHINGTON, July 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Donyell Marshall has been hired as an assistant coach for men's basketball at The George Washington University, head coach Karl Hobbs has announced.

University of Connecticut men's basketball Coach Jim Calhoun was reported in good condition Saturday after breaking five ribs in a bike ride. The Hartford Courant reported that Calhoun, riding in the Jim Calhoun Cancer Challenge Ride, fell 12 miles into the 50-mile course after hitting a pothole and going over the handlebars. The paper said Calhoun was treated for injuries and then completed the final 38 miles -- fainting after reaching the finish line.

Jim Calhoun said Thursday he will return to coach the University of Connecticut men's basketball team next season and into the future. The 66-year-old Calhoun will be in his 24th season as UConn's coach in 2009-10 and his 37th season overall as a college coach. Calhoun's team this season made it to the Final Four, where the Huskies lost to Michigan State 82-73 in the semifinal game. Recently, Calhoun, whose program faces possible NCAA recruiting violations, indicated he wasn't sure whether he'd return to UConn, but in a news release from the university Thursday he said: It is my full intention to return for the 2009-10 season.

Jeff Adrien scored 25 points Saturday to pace the second-ranked Connecticut Huskies' 72-65 win over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Adrien hit 11-of-15 from the floor and had nine rebounds for UConn (27-2, 15-2 Big East), which stands one game ahead of second-place Louisville in the conference.

The Connecticut Huskies used two wins last week to hang on to the No. 1 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today men's basketball rankings released Monday. UConn beat Michigan and Louisville, raising its record to 22-1.
