UCONN is all about rebounding & defense. Ball Screen Offensive is all about reading and countering the defense. Like playing motion, you read and react to the defense “Turnover, Don’t practice turnovers.” This is a favorite Lickliter comment during workouts.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

  • Varsity Club Hall of Fame Induction Class of 1985, James A. Calhoun
    Jim Calhoun Head Coach Northeastern University Jim Calhoun, the architect of Northeastern basketball's rise to prominence during the last decade, returns for his thirteenth season as head coach of the Huskies. With Calho~n's knowledge, patience and considerable coaching ability, Northeastern has followed a meteoric path from a solid Division II program to a Division I power that, has on more than one occasion, basked in the national spotlight and caused the college basketball world to take a good look at the Hounds of Boston. The culmination of that glorious rise came in the form of ECAC North Atlantic championships in 3 of the last 4 years and resounding NCAA tournament upsets in all three. During the 1983-84 season, Northeastern went undefeated in the NAC in both league and tournament play, becoming the only team in the nation to accomplish that feat. The Huskies finished with a 27-5 overall record , the finest ever in the school's history. The season came to a heart breaking conclusion at the Meadowlands when the valiant Huskies were defeated by a Virginia Commonwealth Hail Mary buzzer beater in the NCAA Regionals. In a previous NCAA game they had defeated Long Island University. The welfare of the players is the primary concern of Calhoun-coached teams, which is the reason his X and 0 tactics are so successful. Always a hustling, exciting bunch on the court, Northeastern teams are invariably close-knit off the court. Calhoun takes pride in this, and the effects can be seen in the fiber and character of his teams.

  • A Passion to Lead by Jim Calhoun
    A Passion to Lead by Jim Calhoun I love the challenge of building a new team every year – taking a new collection of kids and trying to turn them into winners. Athletic skills have a short shelf life. Most professional athletes are back in the real world by age thirty or thirty-five, and basketball skills don’t’ help much then. Character and judgment will shape the rest of their lives. I want every kid, first, to value himself and his potential as a human being. I want him to learn that getting a good education is important; that being dependable and responsible to yourself and your family, friends, and teammates is vital; there is no substitute for hard work; and that the need to broaden yourself never ends. It’s not hard to put together one good, or even great, year. But strong legacy organizations are different. They capture lightning in a bottle almost every year, because they have people and values that perpetuate their success – year after year. We share an identity, and we share the same goals: to improve individually, to work hard, to act responsibly, and to value the team’s success more than any individual accomplishments. Once you make a great leap forward, everybody expects you to jump at least as far, if not farther, the following year. The competition gets harder. There is more pressure. There are many good basketball programs in the country, all trying every year to win the NCAA title. Doing so requires a lot of talent and a helluva lot of hard work.
