Basketball is a game of detail and Calhoun has made 1000s of decisions in his career and 100s of very important ones with tightly contested high stakes games hanging in the balance in the closing minutes.
But if you can pick just one decision to reference, one for fans to hang their hat on, what is it?
For me, point blank, the #1 Calhoun call of all time, and perhaps one of the best moves any baskeball coach has ever made is....
Sitting Okafor with 2 fouls vs Duke in the 2004 national semi-finals.
Many coaches might take the gamble and try to get him back out. I mean, he is a game changer after all, who wouldn't? But Calhoun stuck to his guns, yes It was a huge risk but it paid off as Okafor dominated the last quarter of the game or so. For me that one move is a microcosm of Calhoun as a person, he stubbornly sticks to what he believes in, most usually because he knows what the heck he is doing.
So BY, you get one pick and one pick only, what was Calhouns biggest in-game coaching decision of his career? (You have about 16500 minutes, give or take a hundred or so minutes, to pick from)
