"Jim Calhoun isn’t walking through that door. I understand that UConn fans want to relive the glory days, but retreating to the zombie Big East isn’t the answer.
I see the sadness up close here in D.C. with Georgetown. The fans sell out the arena for Syracuse but don’t show up for Seton Hall. They want it to permanently be 1985, much like UConn fans want it to always be 2004.
But 2004 is gone, along with the real Big East. UConn must move on.
Instead of moving on, UConn is retreating. UConn used to be about chasing greatness, not ghosts of the past."
