Definitely. I’m just talking about national discourse

We know better. They will definitely bring it up.

I hate this. Now the narrative will be we won because he didn’t play. Smh

I actually came away impressed with Syracuse. If Autry could coach they’d be alright. Remind me of the first Hurley UConn teams

No way we lose in the blue Connecticut jerseys

We need to run the rest of our OOC table to be secure in a 1 seed in the East. The BE sucks

He absolutely a great coach. My point got lost. My original objection was comparing his trajectory at Purdue to Hurleys at UConn was a bad comparison. I was never passing judgement on his ability as a coach. I just objected to the fact that he was somehow unlucky. He’s coached incredible...

I do. I just don’t see the relevance. With that logic he’s not any more unlucky than anyone else. What’s the point? In 24 he didn’t have the best team, he lost. Even though this is hindsight. People argued all year Purdue was better than UConn. In 22 he did have the best team, he lost. Maybe...

So anytime you run into a team that’s better than you, you’re unlucky? I mean sure. That happens to someone every year though. Nate Oats and Bama we’re unlucky the year before with that logic.

Yes and yes. Unless you think either of those outcomes were probable. That’s the definition of lucky. Good on him. For taking those shots. They paid off. Name any great coach and I’d bet there was a bunch of luck that broke their way for them to win at the level they did.

You constantly strawman. No one said Painter is great because he got lucky with Edey. Someone said Painter was unlucky. That’s where I questioned how someone can be “unlucky” when they’ve had the talent “Edey” that he’s had. That’s more lucky than unlucky

Yes Hurley got lucky he missed out on Timberlake and got Spencer. See how easy that is? Luck is required to win big. Every coach gets lucky sometimes

Every thing you said is true. He still got lucky. You believe he evaluated Edey to be THAT good? It’s okay to say getting a guy who ends up being that good has some modicum of luck involved.

You think he or any one else thought he’d become that dominant? Yes gifted. Someone THAT dominant is always a gift. Hurley was gifted Clingan as well. Recruiting is a crap shoot at times

Because luck had nothing to do with it. He just lost. He had the most dominant player of this generation. For 2 seasons. And didn’t win. What was his excuse the other 20 years?
