Calhoun hospitalized after fall on bike

Connecticut men’s basketball Coach Jim Calhoun was hospitalized Saturday after he collapsed after a 50-mile charity bicycle ride during which he fell and broke five ribs.

Calhoun, 67, was taken to the UConn Health Center in Farmington, where he was listed in good condition. He was to be held overnight for observation and released today, said Maureen McGuire, a hospital spokeswoman.

McGuire said Calhoun told her he hit a pothole and fell with about 16 miles to go in the ride, which wound its way through northwestern Connecticut and part of southwest Massachusetts.

Team spokesman Kyle Muncy said heat and dehydration contributed to the collapse but said there were no other health concerns.
