UConn Huskies Coach defends his salary. . . sort of

More

University of Connecticut Huskies coach Jim Calhoun was recently asked about his $1.6 million salary by a reporter during a press conference. Calhoun didn't like the question and thing went a little well, off-kilter.

Now the Connecticut General Assembly's higher education committee wants the coach reprimanded for his outburst. "His recent behaviour was unacceptable and we request that the university take appropriate disciplinary action to reinforce the high ethical standards we have come to expect from our flagship institution," they wrote in a letter to UConn's president.

The point Calhoun was trying to make, his tactlessness aside, is that UConn's basketball program generates revenue for the university. In any case, if you're a fan of sport outbursts, watch the video below.
