    Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun was resting comfortably in a Farmington, Conn., hospital on Sunday morning after undergoing surgery on his fractured left hip Saturday night.

    Calhoun fractured the hip in a bicycle accident Saturday, hours before he was supposed to coach a group of his former players in a charity game.

    The 70-year-old Calhoun was cycling near his summer home in Madison when he hit some sand and fell, said associate head coach George Blaney. The Hall of Fame coach underwent surgery Saturday night at the UConn Health Center in Farmington.

    Horrible accident, will likely be problematic for him going forward. Hope he has a quick recovery.
