Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2887644, member: 271"] Lots of coaches read fan boards. I know that assistants at a bunch of schools do, because I often ask them at AAU games as they play with their phones. I’d guess that almost every coach under 50 years old reads the fan boards somewhat regularly. I’d also argue that, the Boneyard provides some of the absolute best advice for the AD in terms of areas of improvement off the court. Hurley is a big picture guy. He cares what we think about the game day experience, his communication with the media etc. He’s been very clear at his other stops that engaging fans is a huge part of the job. This place has some really great ideas pop up now and then and probably offers some of the best “reviews” regarding for all things UConn including “happy hour with the coach” and First Night etc. Some of you guys that think a head coach is too important/busy to read message boards are lost. There are a few people on this board with very big jobs (probably more than a few, I don’t know them all) that live here all day. I have better things to be doing right now, but this is an escape that is very addicting and insightful. The minute I finish a task of any importance, I check the board like clockwork. If I were in charge of the whole basketball program, I’d have to check this place out. Also, I thought Hurley’s recent commentary on the guards and wings came about without him being asked about them individually. It seemed he brought it up and reviewed them. [/QUOTE]
