Podcast on the Courant website with Kimani.

Thought this was funny.

[I]“My job as an assistant is to try to keep him (Hurley) focused, try to keep him locked in on the game, try to keep a balance between pushing the refs but not pushing too hard,” Young said on the latest episode of the UConn Insider podcast. “We’re playing Indiana at the Garden last year. He was arguing a foul call and it’s me, him and the official that made the call. Right to his face, I say to him, ‘Coach, that was a foul. You’ve got to lay off the official on this one. That was a foul on Josh [Carlton].'

“He looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘Look, I sign your paychecks. You better roll with me from now on.’ It was a light-hearted moment. We all laughed. I got the job done because I was trying to defuse the moment.”[/I]
