Connecticut head coach Jim Calhoun is being treated for cancer for the second time, but expects to be ready for the Huskies 2008-09 season. Calhoun's doctor believes that he is now cancer-free and will begin receiving treatment on June 24 to make sure that the cancer does not return. The hall of fame coach is expected only to miss time to recruit while getting the cancer treatment. Last season, Calhoun missed multiple games because of illness. Squamous cell cancer was found in Calhoun's neck, which he had surgery on May 6 to remove. The squamous cell cancer was not related to the prostate cancer Calhoun had in 2003. Calhoun's Huskies are looking at a possible preseason #1 rank and an early favorite to be the 2009 National Champions.
