Jim Calhoun Fortunate Quotations

It's both being fortunate and having the basketball gods smiling on you a little bit because quite frankly they had every right to win that game as much as we did. We took our foot off the pedal and we can't do that.

Of 1,100 basketball games I've been fortunate to be involved with, I've never been involved in anything like that.

I thought it was an incredible display of what competition is all about.

When I walk down with Cousy I'm walking in as the face of New England as the face of so many people who weren't fortunate enough to get into what I got into.
