The New England Basketball Hall of Fame will host an all-day Reunion and Seminar at Springfield College on Saturday. Among those being honored will be Jim Calhoun.
Calhoun will receive our the Hall's first Basketball Genius Award for his unmatched ability to find and recruit young men well under the radar and coach those young men up to greatness.
Rather than present Jim with a trophy or medal, he will be presented with a poem addressing his special brand of genius. The poem is written by acclaimed poet Jack Ridl. Here it is:
To Be a Genius
Any coach can say Yes
to a can’t-miss All-American.
