    Jim Calhoun blows up a reporter who asks him about a salary cut in the wake of Connecticut's 2 billion dollar budget shortfall.

    Then the Governor comes down hard on Calhoun for this outburst.

    Clueless nerd who picked the wrong time to ask those questions. Calhoun was mild versus a number of other famous meltdowns

    bull$h!t, this guy's sole purpose was to trap calhoun and make him look bad. he baited him and he took calhoun took the bait so this "reporter" can have something to write about. he's almost as bad as the NYU protesters. fact is, calhouns heads a state program that brings in millions in profit the the university, which is more than ken krayeske has ever done.

    According to sports radio, the reporter is a know political reporter and $h1t stirrer... what's he doing at a sports press conference except to stir the pot.

    I think the interview was Sunday night but the Gov just called him out today.

    I heard the reporter was actually a photographer! You could hear the other reporters bemoaning the punk when he said "if you guys covered this stuff I wouldnt have to".
