Donna Ditota: So what kind of relationship do you and Jim [Boeheim] have these days? Are you more collegial?

Jim Calhoun: Well, yeah. We always do what we just did. Talk for 10 minutes. Pat and Juli were good friends because of the Nike trips, Big East trips and all that stuff. But I've found that in two years now doing ESPN and other things I've done is that the edge is gone. If I criticize one of his kids, in a positive way, I'm just trying to show him my observations. Jimmy's a good person. And he is a really good coach. The reason he's a good coach is because he puts every guy in position to succeed. People think that's easy. It's not easy. And he lets them succeed, which is one of his greatest gifts. We all want to over-coach.
