This just came across on the CBS Halftime show and UConnHuskies.com.
UConn Huskies men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun will not be at the arena for today’s game against Chattanooga. He is under the weather and was taken to the hospital for observation.
“Coach Calhoun has not been feeling well for the past several days and it is best that he not coach the team today for precautionary reasons,” said UConn Director of Sports Medicine Dr. Jeff Anderson.
George Blaney will coach the team in Calhoun’s absence.
UPDATE 5:15 PM: Joe Zone of WFSB Channel 3 in Hartford, CT is reporting that Calhoun is back in the hospital and will undergo a battery of tests tonight.
“I have been feeling lousy for the past several days and this morning talked to Dr. Anderson about it,” said Calhoun. “He recommended that I not coach in the game today and stay back at the hotel. As the day went on, he suggested that we go over to the hospital to have some testing done. Fortunately, those tests have all gone well and I am feeling much better. I will stay the night as a precaution and anticipate being checked again in the morning and being able to leave the hospital at that time.”
