Calhoun is the poster boy for everything negative with collegiate athletics. I need a PDF file to adequately document how ethically challented Calhoun is. Suffice it to say, most of the current UConvict roster are products of unethical and/or now illegal behavior by Calhoun.The following is just some of the worse examples.Marcus Williams committed a felony but Calhoun insured Williams would receive no meangingful punishment because he had no other point guard.Rudy Gay,Denham Brown ,Ed Nelson,Doug Wiggins were all stolen after they committed to other universities . This is considered by fellow coaches to be the equivalent of "backstabbing". What other current coach has been accused of even one instance of unethically "stealing " players?? Calhoun gets away with this behavior because the state of Connecticut has no pro teams and although considered sophisticated is really the Appalachia of the Northeast (except for Fairfield county).
