University of Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun underwent what the school says was successful surgery to address the spinal condition that has forced him to miss the Huskies' past seven games. The two-hour surgery was performed Monday morning at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York and involved removing a "large extruded disk fragment" that had been pressing on a spinal nerve, the school said. The surgeons then decompressed the area around the nerve.
