Jim Calhoun
He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame; He coached the University of Connecticut to win the 1999, 2004 and 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball Championships
In addition to his three national titles, Calhoun's UConn teams made four Final Four appearances and won 17 Big East Championships, including seven Big East tournament titles and 10 regular-season championships. His success in the Big East Conference, one of the most competitive in college basketball, further solidified his reputation as a coaching giant. Calhoun's ability to recruit and develop talent was unmatched, with many of his players going on to have successful careers in the NBA. His impact on the game extended beyond wins and losses, as he helped shape the careers of countless young athletes.
Calhoun's career milestones are numerous, including his 800th career win in 2009 and his eventual total of 873 victories, which ranked him 11th all-time in NCAA Division I history as of 2019. His 2011 national championship win made him the oldest coach to ever win a Division I men's basketball title at the age of 68. After retiring from UConn, Calhoun returned to coaching from 2018 to 2021 at the University of Saint Joseph, where he continued to demonstrate his passion for the game and his ability to mentor young players. His legacy as one of the greatest coaches in college basketball history is firmly established.
Calhoun's contributions to the sport were recognized with his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005, a fitting honor for a coach who left an indelible mark on the game. His influence on college basketball, particularly in the Northeast, is still felt today, and his name is synonymous with excellence in coaching. Calhoun's career is a testament to his dedication, work ethic, and ability to inspire his players to achieve greatness on and off the court.
