Here's a video from our own Nick Fasulo giving a fitting tribute to Jim Calhoun on the day of his retirement announcement. Can't disagree with Nick at all. Calhoun's legacy was always going to be a complicated one. To paint him as having been an all good or all bad guy is a mistake. Like most powerful, successful people, Calhoun leaves a complicated legacy, but, as Nick says in the video, all of college basketball will miss his presence on the sideline.
Aside from winning THREE national championships, this will always be the Jim Calhoun moment folks remember most.
