per CBS:

Former Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun could be coming out of retirement to coach again, possibly at the Division III level.

According to a report from the Hartford Courant citing multiple sources, Calhoun, 75, has had "serious discussions with the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford about its new men's basketball program."

"I've got a couple of other things in the works, one involving basketball which I'm intrigued by," Calhoun told the Courant. "It's coaching."

per CBS:

Former Connecticut coach and Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun is coming out of retirement to return to the sideline as the head of a basketball program. As ESPN's Jeff Goodman reported this week, the Hall of Famer has taken the head coach job at Division III St. Joseph in Connecticut — a private school with fewer than 3,000 students.

"I terribly missed the coaching on a daily basis," Calhoun told USA Today Sports. "I missed the association with the kids."

Calhoun is still employed as an adviser at UConn and can't take the St. Joseph coaching job until his current contract expires in March. So officially, his title at St. Joseph is a consultant and adviser to the president as the Division III upstart aims to assemble a team to compete beginning in 2018-19.

So what will Calhoun do in his soon-to-be-role if he can't coach until March? According to ESPN, it's simple: Recruit.
