Head Coach JIM CALHOUN26th Season at Connecticut
University of Connecticut Hall of Fame Head Coach Jim Calhoun has established himself as perhaps the greatest program builder in college basketball history. Now in his 26th season as head coach at UConn and his 40th year as a collegiate head coach in 2011-12, Jim Calhoun has now achieved acclaim as one of college basketball’s legendary leaders, leading the Huskies to the 2011 NCAA National Championship and becomingonlythefifthcoachinNCAAhistorytowinthreenationaltitles. He also reached several other milestones in the notable 2010-11 campaign-- the 300th BIG EAST win of his career, his 600th win at UConn and his seventh BIG EAST Tournament title, more than any other coach in league history. Jim Calhoun’s phenomenal coaching success story includes three NCAA National Championships (1999, 2004, 2011) at Connecticut, earning basketball’s highest honor while still an active coach, election into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2005, and induction in 2006 with the other greats of the game as a member of the Founding Class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Jim Calhoun’s college coaching career includes just two stops---Northeastern University in Boston and the University of Connecticut in Storrs. In 14 seasons at Northeastern, Jim Calhoun led NU from the Division II ranks to status as one of the nation’s top Division I mid-major programs. In 25 seasons at Connecticut, Jim Calhoun has transformed UConn from a regional contender to a three-time national champion and Connecticut now ranks among the nation’s elite college basketball programs. In May of 1986, Jim Calhoun was named head coach of basketball at the University of Connecticut and that announcement launched what has become one of college basketball’s greatest coaching accomplishments. As head coach of UConn Basketball, Jim Calhoun has led the Huskies to the top of the NCAA basketball mountaintop---winning three NCAA National Championships while also claiming an NIT Championship and taking the Huskies from second division placements in Big East Conference standings to a record-setting 17 league titles and lofty status as the most successful program in Big East Conference basketball history. Jim Calhoun’s overall record as a collegiate head coach is 864-368,movingintorarifiedairandstatusasamemberofthe800-win

Prior to 1986, Connecticut Basketball had posted just two 23-win seasons in history. Since arriving at UConn in the spring of 1986, Jim Calhoun has “averaged” 24 wins per year. In April of 2005, Jim Calhoun became just the seventh recipient of the prestigious John R. Wooden “Legends of Coaching Award” presented by the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Previous winners of the award include fellow Hall of Fame coaches Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski and Lute Olson. In November of 2006, Coach Jim Calhoun’s achievements were recognized by his peers when he was named a member of the Founding Class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame JimCalhounwasthefirstcoachinthehistoryoftheBIGEASTConference to be named BIG EAST Conference Coach of the Year fourtimes.HeearnedhisfirstBIGEASTCoachoftheYearawardin 1989-90 and also won the honor following the 1993-94, 1995-96 and 1997-98 seasons.

A total of 24 former UConn stars that played for Coach Calhoun have played in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They include: Clifford Robinson, Tate George, Chris Smith, Scott Burrell, Donyell Marshall, Donny Marshall, Kevin Ollie, Ray Allen, Travis Knight, Richard Hamilton, Khalid El-Amin, Jake Voskuhl, Caron Butler, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, Hilton Armstrong, Josh Boone, Rudy Gay, Marcus Williams, Hasheem Thabeet, A.J.
