Apparently Connecticut governor Jodi Rell is not very happy with the display put on by UConn Huskies men’s coach Jim Calhoun when he was asked about his salary after Saturday’s game.
“I think if coach Calhoun had the opportunity right now, he would welcome a do-over and not have that embarrassing display,” she said, speaking to reporters after a meeting with business leaders and local college officials.
Asked what she considered embarrassing, Rell said Calhoun’s whole tone.
In my opinion, Calhoun had every right to say what he said, no matter the tone. A postgame press conference is neither the time nor the place to be asked such a stupid question. Yes I know the times are tough right now (no one knows that better than me) but I’m pretty sure if you were asked that question, you wouldn’t want to answer it or would give a snide answer back.
