JIM CALHOUN, who led UConn to three national titles, has retired again, this time from Division III Saint Joseph of Connecticut.

The 79-year-old Hall of Fame coach, who has struggled with stomach cancer and other ailments, said his health was not a factor in his decision to leave the school in West Hartford, Connecticut.

“It’s just the right time,” Calhoun said in a statement. “I’m healthy, my wife is healthy, and the USJ men’s basketball program is healthy. We built this program starting from scratch about five years ago, and now the team is in a good place.”

Calhoun ends his career with a record of 920-397. That includes 248 wins in 14 years at Northeastern and 625 in 26 years at UConn, where his teams won NCAA titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011.
