A 1974 graduate of Concordia College, Moorhead, Kalland has led his team to the MIAC playoffs 13 times in the past 17 seasons and 14 times overall. The 2005-06 season was one of the most magical in the 95-year history of Carleton men’s basketball, as Kalland and the Knights reeled off 17 straight MIAC regular-season wins en route to the program’s first conference title since 1965-66. The Knights advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history as well and Kalland recorded his 300th victory when the Knights beat Gustavus Adolphus in the MIAC Playoff semifinals.

Kalland, a former assistant men's basketball coach at the University of Minnesota from 1979-80, spent four years at Inver Hills (Minn.) Community College, leading the team to a 1982 state championship and runner-up honors in Region XIII. Kalland also coached for three years at Eagle Bend (Minn.) High School and Cannon Falls (Minn.) High School.

He runs numerous successful basketball camps during the summer, and is a professor and department chair of physical education, athletics and recreation at Carleton. Kalland and his wife, Linda, have a daughter, Abby, a 2004 graduate of Carleton who is currently director of basketball operations for the University of Minnesota women’s basketball program.
