Born to Lead: Jim Calhoun provides a unique inside look into one of the most successful and enigmatic coaches and leaders in the history of college basketball. During his 40 year career he won 873 games and three National Championships with underdog determination, a will to win and a relentless quest for perfection. He could be profane, combative and polarizing but also charitable and compassionate and above all: fiercely loyal to his players.
More than 30 interviews were done for the film, including the first interview with Pat Calhoun, Jim’s wife, in 40 years. Also giving insight are Hall of Fame coaches Mike Krzysewski and Jim Boeheim, former UConn head coach Kevin Ollie, former players Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton, assistant Coaches, and Hartford Courant writers Jeff Jacobs and Dom Amore.
