Greatest game i have ever seen in any sport. Jonny Flynn is downright disgusting
There was a players' poll in SI (obviously it is set in stone) that asked which coach you would like to play for least. Calhoun won in resounding fashion. The quote was something to the effect of players are affraid of him and affraid to try anything that they might screw up doing. He's too much of a hard@$$ to his players. I seriously think his mentality is what leads to these constant underachievements.

Ask Caron Butler about JC sometime. I think you will get a very different impression.
While this is no such statistic, I think Uconn has produced the largest NBA players per bust ratio of any school. The only player of any prominence from Uconn that has not produced at a quality level in the NBA would be Marcus Williams. And even he still has some time to turn it around.
Other schools like UNC and Duke are filled with NBA busts, but Uconn produces year in and year out. Calhoun may be a prick, and truthfully I think he is, but he definitely has shades of Belichick in him.
