3. news item says he has been ill for a few days
I thought he looked remarkably detached during the Syracuse game, sitting on the bench rather than pacing and yelling.

4. Ah Ha...
From the msnbc.com story

"This is the third NCAA tournament game Calhoun has missed. In the two previous instances, UConn went on to win the national title."

Crafty guy that Calhoun. All joking aside I hope he's OK, there have been some health scares over the years with Jim.

5. I know...makes me apprehensive
On the plus side the team is used to working with Blaney because Calhoun has left after the first half before. On the minus side, makes me think there is something going on that we don't know about. No athlete or coach passes on being with the team without a really compelling reason.
