Coach Calhoun Returns

UConn Men'sBasketball Head Coach Jim Calhoun has returned from a medical leave of absence that lasted just over three weeks.

In a statement Coach Calhoun said, "I am excited to return to the team and my coaching staff. I appreciate the hard work by the staff and team in my absence and am looking forward to being back on the court for practice this afternoon and moving forward. I am especially thankful to people for their support during the past three weeks, but also for the respect and privacy that everyone has provided me during this time. Dr. Schulman, my primary care physician, and I both felt that the time away was important for my personal and professional well-being and that I am ready to move ahead from this point at full speed."

During his time away from the team the Huskies were led by Associate Head Coach George Blaney and had a 3-4 record, highlighted by a victory over then #1 Texas.
