UConn men’s beat reporter Dom Amore chatted with the program’s patriarch, Jim Calhoun, from the confines of his new office at the University of St. Joseph. Calhoun and Amore discussed returning to the recruiting trail (2:30); the void he felt away from the game (5:45); the fateful discussion, with athletic director Bill Cardarelli, that brought the coach out of semi-retirement (9:20); chasing the Division III equivalents of Duke and North Carolina as a fledgling program seeking foundational victories (12:00); his lasting partnership with former UConn assistant coach Glen Miller and the ways in which they differ as talent evaluators (14:30); the famous former coaches whose counsel he sought as he contemplated a return to a role like this (17:50); and the state of his relationship with the current UConn team (19:00). Lastly, Calhoun envisioned what the first Blue Jays game might look like with him on the sideline, and whether or not that game would even take place in the school’s Hoosiers-esque gym (27:00).
