Tact isn't his thing. He's hard on his players and they produce. Why is it when Parcells does it it's funny, when Knight does it it's ok cause he graduates his kids and wins, when Paterno does it he's old and senile but when Calhoun does it he's a jerk? Yes, he is a jerk. So f'in what? He's a basketball coach for God's sake. His job is to win games and bring in money. Not submit to some disrespectful "moron". Anyone aware the same kid was arrested for standing in the road and stopping the governers inaugeration parade in 2006? Just because you ask a question you should be treated well? Why? He showed disrespect to a man that has earned respect and got bitchslapped. Get over it. Calhoun is a tough old school Boston irishman. Tact isn’t his thing.

Miz- I'd say he has to apologize to the reporter and apologize for the insensitivity to the state employees losing their jobs and are generally in rough times. You have to remember that he called the reporter stupid and told him to shut up. He also said he wouldn't give a dime back and bragged about making "way more" than 1.6 million a year. sparty-

He said turned over. That 5 million isn't turned over by him to the state at all. And the other 7 is turned over only after they give him 6 to start with. I think we can all agree that the 12 is crazy inaccurate. sparty-
