History
The program gained national prominence with the hiring of current head coach Jim Calhoun, who was inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005. Calhoun, who had success coaching at Northeastern University, turned the program around, and has won 2 national championships in 1999 and 2004. The Huskies have made 14 NCAA Tournament appearances since 1990, and they've reached the "Sweet 16" in 11 of those seasons. When the women's program also won a national championship in 2004, it marked the first time in Division I history that one university had won both the men's and women's tournaments in the same season. Among the great UConn players of the past are Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Caron Butler, Rudy Gay, Tate George, Donyell Marshall and Khalid El-Amin. In 2006, the school sent 4 players to the first round of the NBA Draft. -
