Jim Calhoun has never been at a loss for words.

That's a good thing when you're a television anaylst.

Calhoun will join ESPN as a studio analyst for the network's college basketball coverage, according a report by The Big Lead.

Should be worth tuning in for this upcoming season.

Let's just hope the television audience outside of New England will be able to understand the former UConn coach's thick Boston accent.

Quite honestly and quite frankly, it's a good hire by ESPN.

Calhoun could not be reached for comment.
