UConn will hold a press conference at 10:45 Friday morning to announce a contract extension for head coach Jim Calhoun.
His current contract pays him more than $1.6 million per season and expires in June.
The new five-year contract will be retroactive for one year at a new salary of about $1 million more annually, a source close to Calhoun said. He will have four more years running through the 2013-14 season.
"I feel very comfortable signing a new contract and I think the university feels very comfortable signing a new contract," Calhoun recently told The Wall Street Journal.
Calhoun, who turns 68 on Monday, has been coach at the Big East school since 1986.
He is 572-220 at UConn, winning national championships in 1999 and 2004.
Calhoun sucks.
UConn sucks.
TGIF.

Over under on how many more seasons he actually sees...
what should it be 1? 2? Could be because of NCAA sanctions, could be because of health related retirement. What do people think. I doubt he’s around that long.
