It annoyed me when I heard this interview this week but listening to the CBS reporters today, I just cant let it go.

UConn played on national TV today, and both CBS announcers went out of their way several times to take Calhoun's side.

Calhoun is a winner who has done so much to help the state and charities.

It was inappropriate to ask him about his salary in an after-game interview.

WTF?

I am sorry but it is unseemly for the highest paid state employee to be a sports coach. Not the governor or a Senator or a judge. A coach of amateur college sports.

It is wrong and recent economic events only make it more obviously wrong. College sports are not the most important government activity and they should not be rewarded as such.

Oh but they arent "amateurs" *wink* *wink*, they bring in money for the state. I am sorry but forget that. As much as I love college basketball, its wrong to treat college sports as an education one day and professional sport the next. It is wrong to pay coaches millions of dollars when the students get, what?, free tuition to a subpar education?

Our system is hypocritical and its just to much to bear when the coaches turn out to be assholes. Sure, we are going to lay off thousands of state employees but hell will freeze over before the coach takes a pay cut? You are a real role model, Mr Calhoun.

Another thing that really pissed me off was Calhoun's glib answer that he needs millions of dollars because he "wants to retire some day." I want to fucking retire some day too, coach. Does that mean that I deserve millions of dollars in salary? Wait, let me email my boss right now.

Everywhere you look, you see blatant examples of individual greed and entitlement. What happened to American values of modesty and fairness?

Enjoy your $1.6 million dollar salary coach. I will now root against your team and will be praying to God that you see that retirement soon, as in next season.
