Jim Calhoun's Future

Is Calhoun coming back for at least one more year as head coach of the UConn Huskies basketball team? As a Husky fan and UConn student I hope so. At 68, Calhoun became the oldest coach to win a national championship in his 25th season at Connecticut. He's under contract until 2014, but the topic of retirement has come up after winning his third title. When asked about retirement, Calhoun has stated he's going to take his time and enjoy his offseason, but continue to prepare the team for next year and recruit. The only thing that bothers me is that if he comes back it'll be because of his love of the game since he doesn't need to prove anything else. He's already a hall of famer, won over 800 games, won the NIT in 1998, and has 3 national championships, as well as sent 26 players to the NBA with Kemba Walker about to be added to that list. I just hope he's not ready to stop yet. Only time will tell.
