Yep. He was one hell of a coach.

I agree, but the only sad part about it is that I feel he waited a year too late to retire. After the '11 title, he should have left on top.

Huge loss to UCONN and the NCAA.

ESPN will carry the presser live at 2pm ET.

Yep. He was one hell of a coach.

And an even better person! He grew up in the town (Braintree, MA) that bordered my hometown. I met him through a mutual friend, and what a class act! I've followed his HOF career from Northeastern to UConn.
