Chill reports thatthe University of Connecticut has scheduled a short-notice news conference for this afternoon to make an announcement concerning Men's Basketball Coach Jim Calhoun.It's certainly possible that the coach will have to step down for health reasons, but we'll see.
Should the Huskies be looking for a new coach, I'd like them to choose former Calhoun assistant Howie Dickenman, who's done a great job with a skeleton program at CCSU. Another good in-state candidate (and another former assistant at UConn) is Tom Moore, now the head coach at Quinnipiac. (I assume the university wouldn't be interested in promoting the aged former Dartmouth coach, George Blaney.)

Not surprisingly, my sources, Mike and the Mad Dog, were talking out of their asses.
Apparently, Calhoun announced that he had a re-occurrence of skin cancer, that it has been removed and he is undergoing radiation. He is not stepping down or stepping aside to take a break, at this time.
And this link now corrects (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3419040)
It wasn't skin cancer but a lump in his throat. Other details remain correct.
And now it is back to skin cancer. Some high quality, accurate reporting.
