UConn basketball coach smacks down outraged journalist

Apparently a “freelance journalist activist” is not happy about how much money UConn’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun makes for doing his job. Sounds like fake outrage to me.

Connecticut’s budget problems and his own high-paying state salary leads to a heated exchange between UConn Huskies Coach Jim Calhoun — on the afternoon of win 799 — and a freelance journalist.

The post-game sideshow was kicked off by Ken Kreyeske, working for the Hartford News. He started to ask the UConn head coach about his $1.6 million a year salary in these difficult finiancial times.

The man asking the questions which got the Hall of Fame Coach fired-up, has made headlines in the past.

The 35-year-old Kreyeske was arrested on a breach of peace charge in January 2007 after trying to take a picture of Governor Rell during her inaugural parade.

Yep, just blame people for being successful there hippy!
