John William Calhoun was the 11th president of the University of Texas at Austin between 1937 and 1939.Calhoun Hall, a building constructed in 1968 and located on the University of Texas campus, is named after him.
William Dee Calhoun (August 3, 1934 – December 7, 1989) was an American professional wrestler, who used the professional name "Haystack" or "Haystacks" Calhoun.
The gargantuan wrestler was one of the foremost drawing cards during the industry’s “Kayfabe Era” of the 1950s and 1960s, sporting his trademark white T-shirt, blue overalls, and horseshoe necklace. He is recognized as a chief pioneer of the sport’s super-heavyweight attractions.
Early life
Born on August 3, 1934, William Dee Calhoun grew up on a farm in McKinney, Texas; a rural suburb located in Collin County about 30mi (48km) north of Dallas. William was an unusually large child with a large appetite. He regularly ate a dozen eggs for breakfast, and by age 14, he already weighed 300lb (140kg). By the time he was in his early 20s, Calhoun tipped the scales at over 600lb (270kg), prompting his physician to suggest he did not have long to live, unless he reformed his diet.
Calhoun's enormous size and physical strength enabled him to perform the manual labor of several men while working on his family’s farm. Calhoun first broke into wrestling in 1955 and he began competing for local promoter (and the inaugural National Wrestling Alliance World Champion) Orville Brown. Brown recognized that a man of his size who could still move with significant agility could become a major box office attraction for a sport that was in great need of added popularity.
Jim Calhoun recognized that coaching was more than basketball, wins coach of the year | 2019 ESPYS
Jim Calhoun won three national titles with the UConn Huskies, then built a program from the ground up at Division III St. Joseph while fighting cancer. He received the 2019 ESPY award for Best Coach.
