Please-Who does this guy think he is? Has he saved someones life from a burning building? Another pompous full of himself person who thinks he's God because his team won games. No dude, you DONT deserve your salary.
@getrealpeoplewakeup In 1998, a $125,000 gift from Jim Calhoun established the Jim and Pat Calhoun Cardiology Research Fund at UConn Health Center. The Jim Calhoun Celebrity Classic Golf Tournament has raised millions. 2007 is the first year of The Big Y Jim Calhoun Cancer Challenge Ride statewide event to benefit The Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Connecticut Health Center; the ride raised over $225,000.
calhoun 3 titles since 1999 more than any team.even when the NCAA tried to take him down, in classic calhoun style, he took an unranked preseason team to a title to shove it in their face..this is coach calhouns style..the day he retires will be a sad one for uconn fans..one of the greatest coaches ever..heck throw in the uconn women and its safe to say connecticut is college hoops king of the nation
@Casarix I'd have a God complex too if I led my team to one of the world's most competitive tournaments and won it, and in previous years came close. But if you knew college basketball, you'd know most teams who make it to the final four year after year always have poor graduation rates. That's for the kids to decide to enter the draft and get in or not. And do you even know how many kids are on a basketball team? No, you get over yourself. Get some facts, and come back and post here.
He won the 2011 National Championship game. Takes a lot of intellect to guide a team to that title, you moron. Get some facts, and come back and post here.
@LordBullGod Here's facts: He's a basketball coach with a god complex. The players won the 2011 National Championship game, and then they had one of the lowest graduation rates in the country. Great person for a college environment. So, in conclusion, get over yourselves.
Get some vocabulary and come back and talk to me, get some vocabulary and come back and talk to me. Get some vocabulary and some facts... 12 million dollars! Next question
@bigplayclay32 As a matter of fact, Calhoun is one of the greatest coaches of all time, with 3 rings. A piece of shit? Actually, he's a piece of genius and is much smarter than you will ever be. And about the APR, do you honestly think Calhoun was sending a wrong message to the student athletes? Do you seriously think Calhoun stood up to the players and said academics are bad? Get some facts, and come back and see me
Another example of a reporter trying to make a name for himself. He got what he deserved. Coach Calhoun did not get that angry and that reporter needs to get another job.
@Greg I agree that that wasn't meant as a threat. He said, if you want to talk to me outside, I'll be more than happy to talk to you. I wanna talk about basketball. And he said that in a very NON-threatening tone. That never occurred to me as being a threat until someone on here commented that they thought it was.
How much does the reporter make and will he give back 75% of it to the government after taxes. Calhoun said and did the right thing. He earns his money. The reporter is and idiot and should find another line of work. He's a retard.

wait....that wasnt awesome....i take that back....there was no reason to get so angry.....i guess he couldnt put into words and calmly express his anger....he should have said..."are you telling me that you have a right to determine how much money is enough for me?" all he had to do was reveal the hypocrisy of the statement and everyone else would have gotten irate....but he didnt...and in turn he didnt destroy the reporter...the reporter actually won
@Greg87145 He wasn't talking about that at all...absolutely not a threat..it was a press confrence after a basketball game and that fag asked a question about money..that was not the time or the place for that question i think thats what he meant..that guys not even a sports reporter
@Greg87145 Are you fucking stupid? Where and when did he say that he was going to punch out anybody? He said "if you want to talk about this outside, I'll be more than happy to talk to you."
Jesus. If that's a threat to you than something's wrong.
ANd isn't it so awesome, He just won the National championship! Not only, do I say he's earned his money, but He just might be in line for a raise. I wonder where Ken Krayeseke, that weaselly bitch, were he is now?
This mindless little drool sounds more like a liberal government employee which is why his whippy, none of his fricken business comment is over the top small and stupid. !!! Good job Jim Calhoun.
Congrats to coach Calhoun and the rest of The UCONN Huskies on winning the 2011 National Championship game. It wasn't pretty but that was a hell of a run. Way to represent the Big East.
Im glad that Duke didn't win the championship, but stinks that a cocky, arrogant guy like him had to win it. That and he is a cheater --NCAA violation this year.
I have friends in Indianapolis so I'm pulling for Butler tonight. After seeing this I won't be too upset if the game goes UConn's way. All of the world's stupid lib media should get the same treatment Jim Calhoun gave this jerk. EXCELLENCE should be rewarded. If governments routinely spent $1.6 million and got 12 million back America wouldn't be broke.
I love this Jim Calhoun- I didn't even know him before this. He should probably not fall into the trap of answering much more than calling this idiot stupid. Why? Because the reporter is trying to aggravate him. I stand with every word Calhoun said . The reporter needs his ass kicked- little pussy.
eaglesphilsphan...you are the idiot. Do you truly not understand how the real world works? You don't think that how much this coach brings back to the school has anything to do with how much this coach is paid? Are you that stupid? Let me ask you this, do you think how much an actor makes is based on how many people will go see a movie just because he is in it? Do you think how much a CEO makes is based on how profitable his company is? Wow....I am shocked at just how stupid some people are.
Calhoun is an idiot...I mean I know it sounds like he GOT the guy, but really, if you listen to it pay attention and understand what hes saying he doesnt make sense. One has nothing to do with the other.
@Jumpmann Jim Calhoun is no different than Calipari, Knight, etc. and all the other self absorbed assholes who coach a bunch of morons on how to put a ball in a hoop. Give me a break.
Would have said exactly the same thing to this jackass reporter. The men's basketball program is not in the red, and it's damn sure not JC's fault if the state is. Jim is paid market value for an extremely coveted and specialized skill, namely coaching basketball at an elite level. He's done a hell of a lot more for the state of CT than some muckraking twat with an axe to grind at a post-game press conference.
elite eight now, after starting the season unranked, i think the state will be ok paying the 1.6 mil. smh at this FDIGUY828. If you don't like college sports, get outta here and watch something else.
Calhoun is a cheater and UConn, a program which enjoys having its tiny cock continually sucked by ESPN (and apparently by CBS's voluptuous Verne Lundquist) is universally hated for good reason. I hope they get crushed. Have a nice day.
Jim Calhoun is a joke. Tell me, is this about Jim Calhoun or UCONN basketball?
I would think this is all about business. Calhoun could care less about his players. HE also was caught for cheating yet he does not talk about that. This old geezer is about himself and his ego. I know kids who have played for him.
What a fucking moron journalist. Hope he spilled his fucking latte after Calhoun yelled at him. Still probably snickered afterwards and muttered something about how great it is to be a faggot ass Commie.
@Umad91010 Wow, you sound like a graduate from UCONN? Did you play on the basketball team? Tell me, does the NCAA really care about STUDENT ATHLETES or just putting teams on TV to make money? The whole system is a joke when Calhoun can do multiple NCAA violations and get a slap on the wrist. HE is like most sports coaches who is part of this corrupt system.
@FDIGUY828 Hey everyone, this user just sent me a really angry message! Everyone send him some flowers to make his time of the month go smoother! He's having a tough time! :(
@Umad91010 I can read that you are a WANNABE college graduate of UCONN. Jim Calhoun is a CHEATER. CHEATER...yet, you would kiss his ass.
Get lost, loser.
He also needs to stop threatening a reporter who is doing his job. Yes, it is sad when coaches are paid millions to watch a bunch of clowns playing for the tv. You need to get off your ass and maybe exercise. Sorry, watching basketball does not make you in shape. You can keep the flowers and I will send you a Richard Simmons tape.
@Umad91010 Are you mad at you can not get into college? I do not like guys like Calhoun. He thinks being a college coach that means something. It means zero in my book. He is no better than a minor league for a baseball team. His job is to win games. Make money? Most college athletics is full of losing money unless it is being paid by the networks. HE does not make money but, the University gets money from ESPN, ABC, etc. for tv. Please, this guy is a self absorbed jerk. I bet you would sniff
Seriously, I do not like this guy. Just because you applied to UCONN or work there as a janitor, does not make you a member or graduate of the UNIVERSITY. I am rooting for BUTLER or VCU to beat either basketball factory. (Kentucky or UCONN) Those 2 teams are the EVIL EMPIRE or DARTH VADAR. You would root for an arrogant prick like Calhoun. He is going down. The fact is you lose because you are a wannabe and never been.
My guess is you just bought a t-shirt from MODELLS that says UCLA. Sorry, this does not make you a student.
Listen, if you are some how a student, your parents want their money back BLUTO. It should NOT take 12 years for an undergraduate degree in nose picking.
With Wiggins, he continued to recruit him (by talking to his barber, of all people) while he was supposedly verbally committed to St. John's. He also did some illegal things while recruiting Ben Gordon and Caron Butler, not to mention the infamous AAU incident with Rudy Gay.
I couldn't care less about his salary, or this stupid press conference...
Bottom line is that Calhoun is an arrogant disgrace. His sliminess is off the charts. He recruited Ed Nelson illegally while Nelson was at Georgia Tech. The same thing he did with former St. John's recruit Doug Wiggins, he did with Nelson. Basically, he silently recruited Nelson while he was still a player for the Yellow Jackets.
the reporter completely deserved this. dumbass questions about salaries when he should've been asking about basketball, which is what post game press conferences are for
Calhoun's a dick. He's a liar, a cheater, and an overall scumbag. I couldn't care less about this stupid press conference or salary; the bigger issue is that he's a snake who represents everything that's wrong with college athletics.
@Stereophonics81 lied about what? cheated how? and how is being boisterous and sarcastic make him a scumbag? scumbags are people who do nothing good for society. not only is calhoun a big proponent of family and hard work, he consistently gives money to charity and participates in numerous charity events; such as a bike ride in which he fell off his bike, broke five ribs, got back on his bike and finished the ride. "get some facts and come back and see me."
@lhs07wlvrines - My facts? Anyone in the college basketball recruiting circuit knows Calhoun is as dirty as they come. (He's not the only one, of course. In fact, most of them are dirty.) I mean I know you think he's such a wonderful human being because he fell of a bicycle and got back on, but that doesn't change the reality of his man's ethics or morals. He cheats. He lies. He's as snaky as they come.
@lhs07wlvrines - Not to mention he threw his assistants the bus after he came back from his leave of absence - saying the team needed better leadership and it starts 'with the coaches.' Douche bag. You don't make comments like that about your own assistants who were filling in for you.
@Stereophonics81 once again, you make no statement of fact. if YOU were in the basketball recruiting circuit, you'd know that most recruiting is done by the assistants. the HC usually makes one or two visits to the home, and a couple visits to the HS gym tops. "snaky" guys include calipari, who blatantly cheats and bolts before he can take accountability. and as far as making comments goes, calhoun said "the buck stops with me", taking blame for the minor violations.
@lhs07wlvrines - Hahahahaha "most recruiting is done by the assistants" ... ohhh-kay, and WHO HIRES the assistants? Oh that's right, the HC. And who oversees everything that goes on in the program? Oh that's right, the HC. And who is ultimately responsible for HOW recruiting gets done? Oh that's right, the HC.
Dude, you're all over the place. I mean I know you're a huge UConn fan but please try to form one thought that doesn't stem from the "my team rules and your team sucks" realm.
@Stereophonics81 oh wait, misread your comment. regardless, he says it how it is. and george blaney is a close friend who he trusts with the team, and who led uconn to a win over #1 texas. he meant that he needed more leadership from the players (jerome dyson, stanley robinson, etc) and that starts with the coaches needing to inject that leadership responsibility. it's not his fault that the guys who were supposed to lead the team didn't give a flying shit about winning. still waiting for facts.
@lhs07wlvrines - George Blaney is a great guy. Too bad your guy Calhoun completely threw him and the rest of his assistants under the bus after he came back from his leave of absence. He specifically mentioned the COACHING as the problem. Oh and remember two years ago how he conveniently got 'sick' before their first round game with UT-Chatanooga? He knew UT-C was a viable 16 seed and didn't want to become the first coach to ever lose to a 16. There was no upside to coaching in that game...
@lhs07wlvrines - Then all of a sudden he has a miraculous recovery and coaches two days later. Funny how that works.
What "facts" could I possibly give you? There is no winning this argument, either way here. In the end it's a matter of opinion. I am not behind closed doors and neither are you. However, anyone who looks at college basketball objectively knows that Calhoun is one of the snakiest and dirty people in the business. BY FAR.
Uconn was unranked at the beginning of the season, now they are a 19,20 win team on the way to the NCAA Tourney, i think Calhoun's worth it. the 1.6 mil or whatever it is.
It's a dumb question to ask the person receiving the salary to give money back. Ask the Connecticut state legistlature or the UConn board of directors (or whomever determines Coach Calhoun's pay) , sure, but to ask someone to give money back is asking someone to admit that they are not worth the money they are getting paid.
Just for the sake of argument, let's say the reporter's question about Calhoun's salary is a legit question given the state of CT's budget problems (we as a state are fucked by the way.) Bringing it up during a press conference after a basketball game is not the time to do it.
@spectre0075 a fair amount,enough to cover their costs, advertise the university, besides its not the head coaches job to get more money to the school, his job is to win championships, period
why do people give coaches and athletes a hard time about their salaries? the system is set up that way. they get what universities and teams are willing to pay.
Jim Calhoun makes the salary the market demands, and he runs a profitable P&L for the state. It's really that simple. Everything else is window dressing.
@holmesfutrell No actually the only misleading figures here were the ones that jackass that asked the question said about how much money Calhoun makes. I bet Calhoun donates a larger percentage of his money to the school, charities,and other causes than this clown who answered the question does. Calhoun was probably pissed off about the game....
@ThePelicans44 Calhoun himself says that he actually makes more money than the reporter quoted. And it's true he donates a lot of it to charity, but when a coach is payed more by the state than nobel prize winning professors and that state is running a budget deficit, you've got a problem.
@holmesfutrell Of course you have a problem. The state is spending more than it earns. It has nothing to do with Calhoun. And I don't necessarily think you should make more than someone because you have won a nobel prize. The fact is, the reporter was wrong. Was he lying? I don't know but he was wrong. Do you donate the same percent of your salary that Calhoun does of his? Either way, the only misleading data in this video is the False claim made by the reporter
@ThePelicans44 Dude, there is no problem. $12 million minus $1.6 million leaves a net of greater than $10 million. Cut the hoops program...you are in WORSE shape. Simple arithmetic.
@holmesfutrell The reporter sounds like a stupid @ssh0le who either doesn't know anything about business or is trying to stir the pot. He got what he had coming to him.
everyone get off calhoun's nuts. He makes money so what you wish you could make that type of money and dark angel its more important because it a post GAME news confrence. Everyone there is a sports reporter and wants to talk sports. Calhoun is a genius and has made UCONN sports what they are today. But if anyone would rather have Uconn lose to Umass and Sacred Heart still then take his money back, but he is worth every single penny
to be fair, that question had no place in that setting.

Would have said exactly the same thing to this jackass reporter. The men's basketball program is not in the red, and it's damn sure not JC's fault if the state is. Jim is paid market value for an extremely coveted and specialized skill, namely coaching basketball at an elite level. He's done a hell of a lot more for the state of CT than some muckraking twat with an axe to grind at a post-game press conference.

Calhoun is a cheater and UConn, a program which enjoys having its tiny cock continually sucked by ESPN (and apparently by CBS's voluptuous Verne Lundquist) is universally hated for good reason. I hope they get crushed. Have a nice day.

Jim Calhoun is a joke. Tell me, is this about Jim Calhoun or UCONN basketball?
I would think this is all about business. Calhoun could care less about his players. HE also was caught for cheating yet he does not talk about that. This old geezer is about himself and his ego. I know kids who have played for him.
I hope UCONN gets eliminated next.

@Umad91010 Wow, you sound like a graduate from UCONN? Did you play on the basketball team? Tell me, does the NCAA really care about STUDENT ATHLETES or just putting teams on TV to make money? The whole system is a joke when Calhoun can do multiple NCAA violations and get a slap on the wrist. HE is like most sports coaches who is part of this corrupt system.

Get lost, loser.
He also needs to stop threatening a reporter who is doing his job. Yes, it is sad when coaches are paid millions to watch a bunch of clowns playing for the tv. You need to get off your ass and maybe exercise. Sorry, watching basketball does not make you in shape. You can keep the flowers and I will send you a Richard Simmons tape.

He is no better than a minor league for a baseball team. His job is to win games. Make money? Most college athletics is full of losing money unless it is being paid by the networks. HE does not make money but, the University gets money from ESPN, ABC, etc. for tv. Please, this guy is a self absorbed jerk. I bet you would sniff

Seriously, I do not like this guy. Just because you applied to UCONN or work there as a janitor, does not make you a member or graduate of the UNIVERSITY. I am rooting for BUTLER or VCU to beat either basketball factory. (Kentucky or UCONN) Those 2 teams are the EVIL EMPIRE or DARTH VADAR. You would root for an arrogant prick like Calhoun. He is going down. The fact is you lose because you are a wannabe and never been.

With Wiggins, he continued to recruit him (by talking to his barber, of all people) while he was supposedly verbally committed to St. John's. He also did some illegal things while recruiting Ben Gordon and Caron Butler, not to mention the infamous AAU incident with Rudy Gay.
I have plenty other examples. Just ask.

Bottom line is that Calhoun is an arrogant disgrace. His sliminess is off the charts. He recruited Ed Nelson illegally while Nelson was at Georgia Tech. The same thing he did with former St. John's recruit Doug Wiggins, he did with Nelson. Basically, he silently recruited Nelson while he was still a player for the Yellow Jackets.

Calhoun's a dick. He's a liar, a cheater, and an overall scumbag. I couldn't care less about this stupid press conference or salary; the bigger issue is that he's a snake who represents everything that's wrong with college athletics.
Stereophonics81 11 months ago
@Stereophonics81 lied about what? cheated how? and how is being boisterous and sarcastic make him a scumbag? scumbags are people who do nothing good for society. not only is calhoun a big proponent of family and hard work, he consistently gives money to charity and participates in numerous charity events; such as a bike ride in which he fell off his bike, broke five ribs, got back on his bike and finished the ride. "get some facts and come back and see me."
lhs07wlvrines 11 months ago
@lhs07wlvrines - My facts? Anyone in the college basketball recruiting circuit knows Calhoun is as dirty as they come. (He's not the only one, of course. In fact, most of them are dirty.) I mean I know you think he's such a wonderful human being because he fell of a bicycle and got back on, but that doesn't change the reality of his man's ethics or morals. He cheats. He lies. He's as snaky as they come.
Stereophonics81 11 months ago
@lhs07wlvrines - Not to mention he threw his assistants the bus after he came back from his leave of absence - saying the team needed better leadership and it starts 'with the coaches.' Douche bag. You don't make comments like that about your own assistants who were filling in for you.
Stereophonics81 11 months ago
@Stereophonics81 once again, you make no statement of fact. if YOU were in the basketball recruiting circuit, you'd know that most recruiting is done by the assistants. the HC usually makes one or two visits to the home, and a couple visits to the HS gym tops. "snaky" guys include calipari, who blatantly cheats and bolts before he can take accountability. and as far as making comments goes, calhoun said "the buck stops with me", taking blame for the minor violations.
lhs07wlvrines 11 months ago
@lhs07wlvrines - Hahahahaha "most recruiting is done by the assistants" ... ohhh-kay, and WHO HIRES the assistants? Oh that's right, the HC. And who oversees everything that goes on in the program? Oh that's right, the HC. And who is ultimately responsible for HOW recruiting gets done? Oh that's right, the HC.
Dude, you're all over the place. I mean I know you're a huge UConn fan but please try to form one thought that doesn't stem from the "my team rules and your team sucks" realm.
Stereophonics81 10 months ago
@Stereophonics81 oh wait, misread your comment. regardless, he says it how it is. and george blaney is a close friend who he trusts with the team, and who led uconn to a win over #1 texas. he meant that he needed more leadership from the players (jerome dyson, stanley robinson, etc) and that starts with the coaches needing to inject that leadership responsibility. it's not his fault that the guys who were supposed to lead the team didn't give a flying shit about winning. still waiting for facts.
lhs07wlvrines 11 months ago
@lhs07wlvrines - George Blaney is a great guy. Too bad your guy Calhoun completely threw him and the rest of his assistants under the bus after he came back from his leave of absence. He specifically mentioned the COACHING as the problem. Oh and remember two years ago how he conveniently got 'sick' before their first round game with UT-Chatanooga? He knew UT-C was a viable 16 seed and didn't want to become the first coach to ever lose to a 16. There was no upside to coaching in that game...
Stereophonics81 10 months ago
@lhs07wlvrines - Then all of a sudden he has a miraculous recovery and coaches two days later. Funny how that works.
What "facts" could I possibly give you? There is no winning this argument, either way here. In the end it's a matter of opinion. I am not behind closed doors and neither are you. However, anyone who looks at college basketball objectively knows that Calhoun is one of the snakiest and dirty people in the business. BY FAR.

It's a dumb question to ask the person receiving the salary to give money back. Ask the Connecticut state legistlature or the UConn board of directors (or whomever determines Coach Calhoun's pay) , sure, but to ask someone to give money back is asking someone to admit that they are not worth the money they are getting paid.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say the reporter's question about Calhoun's salary is a legit question given the state of CT's budget problems (we as a state are fucked by the way.) Bringing it up during a press conference after a basketball game is not the time to do it.

holmesfutrell 1 year ago
@holmesfutrell No actually the only misleading figures here were the ones that jackass that asked the question said about how much money Calhoun makes. I bet Calhoun donates a larger percentage of his money to the school, charities,and other causes than this clown who answered the question does. Calhoun was probably pissed off about the game....
ThePelicans44 1 year ago
@ThePelicans44 Calhoun himself says that he actually makes more money than the reporter quoted. And it's true he donates a lot of it to charity, but when a coach is payed more by the state than nobel prize winning professors and that state is running a budget deficit, you've got a problem.
holmesfutrell 1 year ago
@holmesfutrell Of course you have a problem. The state is spending more than it earns. It has nothing to do with Calhoun. And I don't necessarily think you should make more than someone because you have won a nobel prize. The fact is, the reporter was wrong. Was he lying? I don't know but he was wrong. Do you donate the same percent of your salary that Calhoun does of his? Either way, the only misleading data in this video is the False claim made by the reporter

@ThePelicans44 Dude, there is no problem. $12 million minus $1.6 million leaves a net of greater than $10 million. Cut the hoops program...you are in WORSE shape. Simple arithmetic.
