02/22/2012 - Storrs, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun will miss at least two more games after having surgery to help alleviate the spinal stenosis that forced him to take a medical leave of absence.
Calhoun will undergo the procedure Monday and is expected to be hospitalized for one or two nights, followed by a recovery period at home, the school said Wednesday.
"I'm glad we have finally determined the best course of treatment to deal with the problem," Calhoun said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to having the procedure done, hopefully recovering as quickly as possible, and putting it all in the past."
Calhoun will not coach the Huskies' games against Syracuse on Saturday and at Providence on Tuesday -- the seventh and eighth games the Hall of Famer will miss because of the lower-back condition.
UConn said he would be evaluated on a day-to-day basis after that. Associate head coach George Blaney will remain in charge while Calhoun is away. He has taken the head coach's place since Calhoun first began his leave of absence on February 3.
The Huskies (17-10) have lost seven of their last 10 games.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
