“Post Malone.
Which library service do you appreciate the most? I like those little libraries. How come that's, I'm gonna say other.
You know, like the ones that you walk around, those little book boxes. The free ones. Take a book, leave a book.
Take a book.
Yes, so UConn did it, dude. I can't believe UConn has, dude, six national titles since 1999. They're six and oh, 99, oh four, oh 11, oh 14, oh 23 and 24, back to back.
Dude, that is crazy. Like, you would think Kentucky or UNC or Duke as the best basketball program, but Syracuse or something, UCLA or no, dude. Since 99, it's UConn.
And before Dan Hurley, it was Jim Calhoun, James A. Calhoun, born May 10th, 1942, about to be 82 in Braintree, Massachusetts. It's a good name for a town in Massachusetts.
I'm from Braintree, outside of Boston. Inducted into the basketball hall fame in 05. One of only six coaches in D1 history to win three or more championships, widely considered one of the best coaches ever.
He was actually the head coach at St. Joseph from 2018 to 21. I did not realize that. Finished with 873[…]”
“Finished with 873 victories, 11th all time.
And yes, so he was at UConn from 86 to 2012. And St. Joseph in Hartford, Connecticut, not the one in Philly. And his career head coaching record, 920 and 397.
Before UConn, he was at Northeastern in Boston from 72 to 86. Then Deadham High School, 70 to 72. Lyme Old Lyme High School, 68 to 69.
Played at American International, 65 to 68. And career win-loss percent, 70 percent. And there you go.
Just an amazing coach. One of the best ever. A Hall of Famer, college basketball Hall of Fame, as well as basketball Hall of Fame.
AP Coach of the Year, 1990. John Wooden Legends of Coaching Award, 05. Ten Big East regular season titles, seven Big East tournament titles, and four Final Fours, three national titles.
And there you go, baby. I would have thought he was at UConn more recently. I remember.
But he left back in 2012, right after I got out of high school. There you go. Thanks for listening, Brett.
Thanks for listening, everybody. I love you all. Happy Tuesday.”
