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.

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