I fully plan on coaching basketball next year. You know, once again, we’ll have time in the next couple of months as I settle down, as we kind of look over everything, and I fully expect that I would. … I’ve always been in love with basketball, I’ve never fallen out of love with basketball, but this team reaffirms me that kind of what we’re doing is worthwhile because the kind of kids you have.

I’m not Michael Jordan, I’m Kemba Walker.

"Ridiculous. Ridiculous, I don't know what league they were watching, or what their personal - someone mentioned right before we played them, one team, that he had committed to them and they were still upset three years later. My advice is get over it. And don't penalize the kid for the season he had. In the final analysis, in Kemba's life it's not going to make any difference. He's a first-team all-Big East player. He'll probably have a longer career than that coach who didn't vote for him."

Though this was the first time Calhoun had come within the NCAA's sights, it is far from the first time allegations were leveled against him for misdeed related to guilting recruits and his incredible age.

-Guarantees Donyell Marshall he will never coach him because he will be dead inside of six months.

-Caron Butler signs a letter of intent with the Huskies after Calhoun threatens to haunt his ancestors for 1000 years if he doesn't.

-Forward Curtis Kelly leaves the team after discovering Calhoun was not an ageless demon who could send his entire family to hell with the point of a bony finger.

-Spends the night at Richard Hamilton's home after complaining his body was tingling and he would die if moved.

-Asks prized Israeli recruit Doron Sheffer to take him to the Wailing Wall so that he might die in a holy place.

-After target Brandon Bass announces his intentions to attend LSU, Calhoun calls him and sobs into the receiver for 45 minutes.

-Interrupts a phone call with recruit Travis Knight to claim his soul is leaving his body.

-Offers Ricky Moore the opportunity to bring a message to God when he dies if Moore chooses UConn.

He hasn't been playing for them [Grizzlies]. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with him. Let's give him 36 hours and we'll figure it out."

I think he'll get his feelings hurt up here. He's a big-time competitor, but he's not the feel player these guys are up here in the NBA. He can be like a Jose Juan Barea. Just let him play pick-and-roll at the top. It's just hard to score in the NBA when you're little. I like the fact that he has matured because to be honest with you, I hated him last year. He made so many plays and it was all about him, but he has really gotten better with that. In draft rooms there will be a lot of discussions between him, Fredette and Brandon Knight.

I didn't want to hear a damn excuse -- I didn't use that word exactly. 'I hear one excuse and I will put you on the bench so hard that you'll still be here when we come back here next year. This game is winnable.' And then they did it.

Please be advised of the following nine actions we plan to take effective today: ...
5. I will not be supporting the Jim Boeheim Syracuse Fantasy Basketball Camp this summer. UNLESS I am named a captain and get to pick my team. AND I will be picking Gerry McNamara and he will play center. These are my conditions.

There's a funny article on the Internet about me having gone to Duke, and it was shown in the magazine that I have a Duke Barbie doll and the [UConn] students said I am not allowed to bring that with me. You know, I will take that under consideration because I am all UConn now.

I'm going to look [at other schools], not Big East or anything. ... When you bring in a new coach, the first three or four years [it's all developing the program)]. But these are Edsall's players, not the new guy's. ... Well, I'm going to get the --- out of here. But what happens with the incoming recruiting class? Are those guys still coming?"
