Jim Calhoun and Connecticutw on the program's third NCAA championship in April.
Kyle Muncy, assistant director of athletics, said in an e-mail that the 69-year-old Calhoun informed university President Susan Herbst that he will coach this coming season.
Calhoun had not set a deadline for himself to decide on whether to retire. He led the Huskies to a third national championship last April.
Herbst did not comment, but she has said in the past that she told the Hall of Famer that she loves having him in the job and praised his achievements as a coach and philanthropist.
Muncy said Calhoun will not comment.
