Calhoun coming to Bristol

Jim Calhoun, coach of the UConn men's basketball team, is slated to join with sports guru Dan Doyle for a fundraising event in Bristol on Thursday, June 10.
The pair are coming under the auspices of the Bristol Sports Hall of Fame, The Bristol Tramps and the Board of Education, according to city Councilor David Mills.
The pair are helping to raise money for a therapeutic horse riding center in Bristol to boost autistic children, a clearly worthy cause.
Details to follow.

UConn violated recruiting rules?

Yahoo! Sports is reporting that UConn's men's team violated NCAA recuiting rules when it tried to land a promising young basketball awhile back. Read about it here.

Update: Just learned that one of the reporters on that story, Adrian Wognarowski, is from Bristol. Kudos, Adrian!
