RRoble UConn coach Calhoun collapses after charity bike ride 0 Jun 14 2009, 12:44 PM EDT by RRoble

Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun was hospitalized Saturday after he collapsed following a 50-mile charity bicycle ride during which he fell and broke five ribs. Calhoun, 67, was taken to the UConn Health Center in Farmington, where he was listed in good condition. He was to be held overnight for observation and released Sunday, said Maureen McGuire, a hospital spokeswoman. McGuire said Calhoun told her he hit a pothole and fell with about 16 miles to go in the ride.``He got back on the bike and finished the ride,'' she said. ``Obviously, he's in extremely good physical shape. It was after he finished the ride, he was talking to some people and he did faint.'' At the hospital, the Hall-of-Famer was told he had broken ribs during the fall. He had to be talked out of driving by family and friends, including former UConn player and Boston Celtics star Ray Allen.

The annual Jim Calhoun Cancer Challenge Ride includes rides of 10, 25 and 50 miles. Organizers say it has raised almost $500,000 to benefit the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Connecticut Health Center and Coaches vs. Cancer, a program established in 1993 by the American Cancer Society. Calhoun is a three-time cancer survivor. A year ago, he underwent surgery and radiation treatments for squamous cell cancer, a type of skin cancer. Calhoun, who has led Connecticut to three Final Fours and national titles in 1999 and 2004, missed the Huskies' first NCAA tournament game in March after being hospitalized for dehydration. Connecticut lost to Michigan State in the national semifinals. Calhoun, who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005, has a career record of 805-342, good enough for sixth place on the NCAA Division I career wins list. He is 557-205 at Connecticut.

Get well Coach Calhoun!
