Jim Calhoun, who won three national championships at UConn before stepping away in 2012, is interested in the Boston College vacancy, according to multiple reports.

However, Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarwoski reports that “the interest isn’t mutual.”

 

A Braintree native who attended American International College and coached at Northeastern from 1972-86, Calhoun spent 26 seasons at UConn, winning titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011. He was replaced by Kevin Ollie after having some health issues, including breaking a hip in a bicycle accident after the 2011-12 season. His career record is 873-380.

Now a special assistant to UConn athletic director Warde Manuel, the 71-year-old Calhoun said recently that he is in good health, and while he declined comment about BC, he told ESPN on Friday: “I would not be opposed to talking to anyone about basketball.”

BC announced Tuesday that Steve Donahue would not return for a fifth season.
