<div id="subtitle">UConn's Calhoun to miss 3rd game on medical leave, still no timetable for return to bench</div><div><p>Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun remains on medical leave and will miss Wednesday's Big East game at Providence.</p><p>Calhoun, who left the team a week ago, seems to be doing well and is "talking more aggressively" on the phone, said associate head coach George Blaney, who led the No. 19 Huskies (13-6, 3-3) to wins last week over St. John's and then-No. 1 Texas.</p><p>Athletic Director Jeff Hathaway has said the decision on when Calhoun will return will be made by the coach and Dr. Peter Schulman, his primary-care physician.</p><p>"They're taking it pretty much day to day, and I think he's listening to Dr. Schulman," Blaney said. "When he's going to see him again, I don't really know that. I assume it will be shortly and they'll make some more decisions as they go from there."</p><p>School officials have not said what is ailing the 67-year-old Hall of Famer, but said it has nothing to do with Calhoun's three bouts with cancer and is not related to his heart.</p><p>Guard Kemba Walker said the longer the coach is away, the more concerned the team becomes.</p><p>"We never knew a time when he was coming back, and as of now, we still don't know," Walker said. "Of course we're getting worried, but he's a fighter and we know he'll be back shortly."</p><p>Forward Gavin Edwards said he would have been very surprised to see Calhoun back this soon.</p><p>"That would be a little odd if he comes back after we win the Texas game, after only being out like three days, or something like that," he joked. "That would be a little suspect to me."</p><p>UConn will be looking for its first real road win against the Friars (11-8, 3-4). They are 0-3 as a visiting team this season and 1-2 at neutral sites.</p><p>Providence is coming off an overtime loss at home to South Florida in which they blew a nine-point lead in the final minute.</p><p>Blaney said he and Calhoun talk basketball on the phone occasionally, but said the coach has been taking his doctor's advice to stay away.</p><p>"To my knowledge, this is the best he's ever done with following instructions toward anything," Blaney said.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=67836916&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
