“I make a lot more than that” is one of the most baller remarks ever

I remember watching this live when it happened. The moment he said "Not A Dime Back" I laughed my ass off. He knew what that reporter was trying to do and he certainly shit him down. That "You're Not Really That Stupid" part was especially nice, making that poor guy admit to being stupid. SMH

He’s not a reporter, he’s a Green Party shit-stirrer who infiltrated the presser

"My best advice to you?" "Yes?" "Shut up" Gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LMAO jim: your not really that stupid, are you ? reporter: Yes I am 0:23

Seriously, this Krayeske guy, made the drive, brought his equipment, probably rehearsed the question he was going to ask and never once thought to find out for sure whether or not a college coach's salary actually comes from state funding? What a tool.

This is, and always shall be, pure gold.

0:44 I love Calhoun's face when he looks at the basketball reporter's faces that this guy chastises them. In some ways, what he did to them was worse than what he did to Calhoun. As soon as those reporters responded with a "get out of this room you jerk" type vibe, that gave Calhoun all the more power to really give it to this "activist reporter." (BTW - a journalist or reporter should never be an "activist" - it's a violation of journalistic integrity).

"what was the take tonight?" is referring how much money did fans spend to see the game

Nothing is funnier than someone attempting to argue only knowing half of what's going on.

​@brianbrennandc Dan Hurley is doing a great job at UCONN. It's also nice that he isn't always ragging on Geno and the women's team like Calhoun used to.

The head nod at “comeback and see me” is the cherry on top

Licensing, merchandising, product endorsements, sneaker deals, ticket sales, luxury box fees, arena concessions, TV rights. Calhoun made the UConn program what it is, and he deserves all the credit for that stuff.

Man do I miss this guy. It doesn't get any better when he checks these bullet head reporters that think they know something but don't. I seriously would pay just to get into the presser to watch it. Great memories.

A lot of coaches aren't worth their salaries, but Calhoun definitely was. He built UConn from nothing to a powerhouse.

Such a memorable sports quote from a legendary coach. It's such a great line up there with the best of them.

Tell you what. If I had a coach that helped bring in that amount of money to my university then He is the Man. The reporter who interviewed him has a record of past problems and is tries to cause confrontations that stick out in the media. I believe he was involved with the connecticut governors rally and was arrested for trespassing. To me, he is nothing but in the way. Way to go Coach!

another great response would have been with the way Connecticut's tax brackets work he is giving back 25-40 percent of it! haha

That is very true!! But top programs like UConn are making millions for their schools.

one of the greatest coaches all time in any sport.

"The take" when referring to casinos or businesses is the amount the house took in that night. So I'm pretty sure he was asking rhetorically "how much money did we bring in tonight?"

next to the urban dictionary of "pwned" is this video

That's a great funny line "I'd like to be retired someday"

Congrats to coach Calhoun and the rest of The UCONN Huskies on winning the 2011 National Championship game. It wasn't pretty but that was a hell of a run. Way to represent the Big East.

Anyone here after his interview on PMT?

This is actually a great response to why coaches get paid what they do. And to do it in such a calm manner was really quite extraordinary.

"My best advice to you... shut up." Hilarious. This might be better than his Ryan Gomes rant.

"What's the deal with Comcast worth?"

While some of the money that sports programs bring in are reinvested into the program (facilities, coaching staff salaries, equipment, advertising), the majority of it goes toward academic facilities. It allows them to build new lecture halls, research equipment, books, etc. Successful college sports programs are great for academics.

Greatest press conference of all-time.

Great Coach if would have stayed in UCONN one more year , he would of had 3 National Championships. Wow

Love this.

Calhoun is 100 percent correct. He makes the School a tremendous amount of money for the school , he is probably underpaid. In college there are so many choices for recruits, thats why the coach is much more important in college than pros. HE is the reason why the big talent goes there in the first place

He pretty much owned that guy dude, excuse him for actually having pride in the school and players he coaches for

I could only imagine if it were Bobby Knight up on that podium :-)

lol not a dimebag who knew Calhoun was a stoner lol

Two years later and still funny as fuck

Jim Calhoun is THE MAN....period what ? bring back Perno ?

I think he just made the case for why players should be paid and didn’t even know it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They were already getting paid even back then they just had to be hella discreet abt it

jim was deep down a goodman

This is awesome, I am proud to be a husky. WIthout Calhoun this school would still have 900 avg SAT scores and burning couches during Spring weekend. Good for him.

I love how some people feel entitled enough to question another persons salary after they have no idea how much work a person has gone through in order to obtain that salary. What’s wrong with getting paid good? Especially if you’ve done a good enough job in order to be paid well? Idk I don’t get it. Just ridiculous that no matter what, rich people will always be criticized and demonized for being successful.

Who is here after UConn won their 6th championship?

I'm gonna miss him. He's going to retire. What a great coach and vocal character. He never backed down. His big mouth, as seen in this video, was why I was such a fan. Enjoy retirement coach

I miss Jim, wish I followed basketball more closely while at UCONN.

Coach Calhoun will truly be missed.

The things I would give to have Jim Calhoun back in the coaches saddle at UConn.

That was the greatest thing I've ever heard

I think its GREAT he talked about how much he makes and wasnt all scared to say he makes more then a million a year. All these guys never talk about that stuff.

Ken, I have some facts for you. Coach Calhoun just cycled 50 miles, 16 of them with 5 broken ribs for charity. There are your facts, punk. Coach Calhoun gives away more time and money than almost any high profile coach/athlete. I'd love to see Krayeske go from the kitchen to the bathroom with a stubbed toe, much less 16 miles with 5 broken ribs. That is dedication and commitment. Bravo, coach - that is leading by example. If ever I were in a foxhole, I'd love to have Calhoun have my back.

You're my boy Calhoun!!

-want some advice buddy? -yeah -shut up. -thank you -your welcome

Love the whole, you don't need that much money as an excuse to get more money from others. Acting like they aren't greedy too

Great job, Jim! Hell, I'm a 'Nova fan and I think this owns! Seriously, people are so quick to throw anyone under the bus based on salary with no knowledge whatsoever of the economics of the sport in question.

Jim Calhoun: I'd like to retire one day. Also Jim Calhoun: *retires from coaching* Also also Jim Calhoun: *comes back from retirement to coach D3 basketball*

if america had more people like this guy. we would b kicking a** and taking names. Never heard of this coach but he is AWESOME

I wish we still had Calhoun guy was a winner

God do I miss Jim Calhoun

lol! You may not be the brightest bulb in the lamp but you do have a sense of humor. kudos

He is worth every god darn penny!!! Congrats to Calhoun.

Best press conference answer ever

they already made a bud light parody of this, it's on KZread

Go and tell' em Jim!

Right on man, right on. I couldn't agree more. The guy does his job, does it extremely well, and gets paid on par with what other guys who do that job well make. It's as simple as that.

Lol everyone was like "Get outta here."

next question! I would have been a little nervous to be that next dude.

that's the best comment i ever read, just like you said, what other state says 'to close our budget gap, we should fire a coach from a college team" If that were the case, mack brown should be fired from UT, 5 million a year for 1 title in all those years of coaching there?

Is anyone else getting the "we're sorry this video is no longer available" message?

Coach Calhoun!! This is why I love UConn...that man, Coach Calhoun.

Why the hell are you asking the coach of a basketball team this question?! Ask the president of the university or the Governor if you have an issue.

Oh my gosh... I just LOVE this!!!! WHOO HOO!!!

"Shut-up" "Thank you" "you are welcome"

From NYT: Andy Thibault, over at the Web site The Cool Justice Report, says that according to forms sent by the University of Connecticut to the Department of Education, last season the mens basketball team generated $7.3 million in revenue, not the $12 million Mr. Calhoun claimed. And get this: it spent $6.1 million. Which means that the teams actual profit last year was $1.2 million. Thats less than Mr. Calhouns salary!

he means because he retired as head coach

This was during a post game press conference with sports writers. The questions are supposed to be about the game and the upcoming games. There is a time and place for investigative journalism. This wasn't it.

My favorite part is when coach Calhoun dares the reporter to step outside and ask him these questions.

Very few people tell it like it is because they don't know or care. He is emotional, passionate, nutty, but also correct. That is why he is one the top coaches. I know why lots of people want to play for him and I know why this guy hates him

I like the way Calhoun handled that guy. He defended his salary and I think he deserves it. I also think that Jim Calhoun could have taken that opportunity to call for his players to be compensated as well. If the basketball program is generating that much money for the university, how can he take his seven-figure salary with a clear conscience, knowing that a lot of those kids are struggling?

Don't forget Title IX!

With Wiggins, he continued to recruit him (by talking to his barber, of all people) while he was supposedly verbally committed to St. John's. He also did some illegal things while recruiting Ben Gordon and Caron Butler, not to mention the infamous AAU incident with Rudy Gay. I have plenty other examples. Just ask.

For any naive speaker, Calhoun is very easy to understand. Listen better.

Best answer ever given for that kind of question. WTG

I hate basketball...But this coach just may change my mind on that...Thank You Coach Calhoun!!!

Krayeske's totally unreasonable explanation of the premise: "Gov. (M. Jodi) Rell has asked that we share the pain and sacrifice of this difficult budget time, and I think a coach who enjoys the celebrity exception to the state employee ethics rule can share the pain and sacrifice and forgo a small percentage of his statewide salary. If state employees at the Department of Social Services are taking furloughs, Coach Calhoun can chip in and show he is a leader not just on the court."

I'm a 'Cuse fan...but I also have to respect the way Calhoun handled that ridiculous reporter. Pretty funny, too. "You're not really that stupid, are ya?"

what was the take tonight? I don't know. He makes conclusions about Calhoun's salary without having any idea where it actually comes from. I mean did he think that it came from taxes???? What an astounding level of pure ignorance.

The athletes have not stayed at UConn for the past 20 years, winning 6 Big East and 2 national championships. And the ones who play well go on to make a lot more than Calhoun does.

this video is going to be huge

Again I have little to say just trying to understand why certain comments do not the remove feature below the arrow.

Man, if Jim ever goes into politics and runs for office, he has my vote! Talk about a straight shooter.

Average FT Salary $93,230 Ah, yes. 93,000 dollars a years is such a terrible salary.

Press 3: "What's the deal with Comcast worth?" Press 9: "Twelve million dollars."

While it isn't technically Calhoun's basketball program, it is Calhoun who made the program what it is today. Before he became coach, UCONN was a small-time program. They had never made it past the Sweet Sixteen, much less win a title. But Calhoun has led them to 10 Big East titles, 7 Elite appearances, and 2 titles. He deserves his pay.

Wrong question at the wrong time.

Love this Man!

The reporter was only there are a photo pass too. He wasn't suppose to be asking questions.
