Winning the 2011 National Championship puts Connecticut's Jim Calhoun in a very exclusive club - only five coaches in Division I Men's Basketball history have won three or more titles.

Calhoun's third title puts him into a tie with the legendary Bobby Knight - only Adolph Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski and John Wooden have more.
