I saw this. Do you think this had a lot to do with Uconns slip?

I thought he had a cancer scare in the last year or so. Perhaps my memory is faulty, though.

an article I read said it was not cancer or cardiac related

He's actually dodged that bullet 3 times now. He is getting older and I would have to think the strain of the job and treatments might be catching up with him.

he shld retire....he's got plenty of bux and the uconn job is a pressure cooker...not my fave d1 coach w his antics but i wish him only the best...off the court he's a nice and funny guy......and his ex players' love for him is sincere....
