BOSTON (AP) — Jim Calhoun is back at Fenway Park where he once pitched in an American Legion all-star baseball game.

The coach of the NCAA basketball champion Connecticut Huskies threw out a ceremonial first pitch Saturday before the game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

Afterward, the longtime Red Sox fan who was raised a few miles from Fenway said he hasn’t made up his mind whether to return as coach of Connecticut. He said he’s working hard at recruiting and would do that regardless of what he’ll do next season.

Calhoun has spent the past 25 seasons as coach at Connecticut after serving in the same position at Northeastern.
