You had to figure that UConn Huskies men’s basketball head coach Jim Calhoun might be a little irritated after the way the Huskies played on Saturday afternoon. But of course when you’re asked about something that is not relevant to the game itself, you expect Calhoun to be a little perturbed especially when it’s about his salary.
A local freelance journalist, Ken Kreyeske, asked Calhoun about his $1.6 million dollar salary with the state of Connecticut facing a $944 million budget deficit. Calhoun didn’t take too well to the question and rightly went off on Kreyeske in my opinion. Kreyeske even attacked the beat writers for not asking the question.
