THE COACH HAS ARRIVED

The hallways beneath Gampel Pavilion were filled with people and noise this afternoon as us reporters tried to conduct interviews before the players hit the court for practice.
There was chatter, balls bouncing and doors opening and closing. All that noise suddenly came to a halt when Jim Calhoun and held court for a few minutes of interviews. Eventually, the noise did return, but it was kind of eerie when virtual silence briefly came over so many people.

In other news, Jerome Dyson said his right elbow is fine despite falling on it late in Sunday’s game against Albany. The elbow has been banged up throughout the season, evidenced by the sleeve he’s worn each game.
Also, the Stewie slippers made a return on the feet of Stanley Robinson. Jeff Adrien had a little costume as well, wearing his practice jersey around his neck so it draped over his back like a cape. Adrien then jokingly said he was trying to be like Superman.
