As punishment for prior recruiting violations, head coach Jim Calhoun served a three-game suspension, in UConn's first three Big East games (at South Florida, St. John's, at Seton Hall). The team also lost one scholarship, reduced from 13 to 12, and was restricted in other recruiting activities.

On February 4, 2012, Calhoun announced he would take an indefinite medical break from coaching as a result of spinal stenosis. Associate head coach George Blaney said he would be managing the team during Calhoun's absence.
