My family has made tremendous sacrifices to support my career and I could not have done this without them. Sincere thanks to Coach Calhoun and Coach Hurley for believing in me at the beginning and conclusion of my coaching career.

"I can't thank Tom enough for his dedication to the Connecticut basketball program through the years," UConn head coach Dan Hurley said in a statement.

Tom has been tantamount to our success as he took on a crucial role helping to navigate the new era of college basketball.
