Adam Schein Monologue Shutting Up the Hurley Haters

Thank you for posting this; I wouldn't have heard it otherwise. It is right on the money.

actually, it's pretty stupid in response to his comments about the refs.

The man absolutely knows how to coach. Given the right resources and environment, he's been the best coach for the past three years.

But he needs a filter between his brain and his mouth.
 
He’s good. He’s right. But you know what? We are lucky. Why? Because Dan is tortured by that loss and will do everything thing short of giving his kidney to put the right pieces in place to address any shortages our roster will have. He’s already working on it you can be sure, and he already knows what he has to do.
I beg, please keep our staff together for at least 1 more year and they will get it done.
 
Everyone is afforded their opinions.
Love how there are some who erroneously throw out that stupid nomenclature of "Hurley haters"
Just because some of us would love our coach to act his age rather than his shoe size doesn't mean we hate the guy.
Rather than paint everything with broad brushes why don't you folks invest in some smaller in size.
I challenge you to find in any of Tom's, Mau's, mine or others that you have seemingly id'd as haters to find anywhere in our postings that flatly stated - I hate Dan Hurley.
For every one of these "experts" I will bet there are many more out there who look down at Dan Hurley's behavior and attitude towards basketball officials.
And try to take any of us to the woodshed.
As I have said before - Dan Hurley had a great veiled comment directed at Pitino and Creighton - absolutely brilliant - he needs to do more of that instead of pointing fingers at refs when asked not to, call refs names, and declaring himself the king of all coaches.
I do not hate Dan Hurley, I hate what comes out of his mouth when he talks to the refs. He has every right to question calls and to express his opinion of those calls but alienating folks who may have a direct impact upon results is not needed and not an intelligent way to perform your duties.

You and the "get off my lawn" crew have put way too much thought into this. He yells at officials. Every hall of fame coach before him has done the same. Get over it.

Really hoping that the staff does stay together for awhile. They’re young. They can continue to grow and learn here, creating a dynasty, growing their families, then go and make that money

Coach K didn’t do it as often but he did it too on occasion. Bob Knight was his coach after all.
 
I've loved Hurley from the day he was hired. He's won everywhere he's gone, and delivered back to back National Championships. This doesn't mean you can't criticize his childish antics. I give him a ton of credit for being open and honest about his personality and his struggles, he's an open book. I think we can see that his intensity is what leads to his issues with the refs. That doesn't make it okay. I had to look up the Karaban play that he brought up in the post game press conference. I just watched it. It was a typical play where a defender goes up and contests a drive. Sometimes that's called a foul and sometime it isn't. There was nothing there that warranted it being brought up in a post game press conference.

I thought he and his staff did an amazing job of coaching yesterday. They did all you can to put the team in a position to win. They can't make the shots for the players. So here we are, a day after being eliminated. I can look forward with optimism to next year, confident that Hurley will do a fantastic job getting them ready to be great again. I can also say that I hate the way he treats referees. It's uncalled for, unnecessary, and it does not have to just be a by-product of his intensity. Everything has a line that shouldn't be crossed.
 
I honestly don’t care about any average Joe saying they like or dislike Hurley. My issue is with the media hypocrisy. Coaches with legal issues don’t get 1/10th of the vitriol thrown at them. But Hurley is the bad guy for yelling at refs? Lol come on now.

Exactly. I want to see how many of them wrote negative articles on Bob Huggins back in the day.

Also a geographical divide - northeasterners get Dan Hurley, middle American not so much.

He is everywhere today - I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a HC in CB get so much attention. He truly is the face of the sport, whether you like him or not. Every major sports show is talking about him today. He may not be perfect but he’s authentic and a hell of a coach, and boy does he generate conversation. Amidst all the economic conference uncertainty, this is a good thing.

We did not have to deal with all the social media noise, cameras were not every where. Hurley is authentic that is a rare quality in today’s world.

After this year I really could care less who thinks what about him. I know he is the best st***ing coach in CBB……

In the transfer portal thread someone posted something along the lines that "good thing we have Dan Hurley who can get the most out of his players." You boldfaced that statement and then said "Where do we begin with this?????"

A ridiculous response like that after back to back national championships and almost knocking off Florida this year while coaching a great game tells a different story than just not liking his mouth with refs and fans. A response like that would be for some lightweight coach that was about to update his resume.

Please bad analogy there. There’s an intimidating man and there’s a whiny coach therein lies the difference. Calhoun never made faces like that old man puppet Jeff Dunham carries around.

Again no biggie he is who he is and he’s ours. But you can not like his style and act but still like the coach himself!

Weird.
 
That video of the team returning to the lockeroom with Hurley yapping- that is normally a safe area. How do we know what happens there between games normally? How do we know how coaches speak with one another? How do we know what the running commentary goes about the refs between teams, the commiserating, the bravado. We had a behind the scenes look and we should treat it like that. Pretty sad that people on this board are piling onto this negativity. Look at the world we live in. GMAFB

I clearly agree with this take as I was writing my post as you were posting this. Authentic and without doubt people who grew up in the NE understand this wearing your emotions on your sleeve. No agendas up their sleeve just emotions on them.

I have traveled this country extensively in my 43 yr career in business after spending my first 25 in CT I lived in New Hampshire for a year then lived in the Dallas Texas for 18 months then the southeast, first South Carolina 91-92, now in Palm Beach for 15 years. Before moving to FL, I lived in the Midwest northern suburbs of Chicago from 1993 until 2010 and I can say without a doubt the people that get Hurley the least would be those living in the Midwest. I am certain about that as they absolutely hated Calhoun when I was in Chicago and we got to be a top program.

A friend of mine was good friends with the AAD from a large IL school that we may have taken to the woodshed last year. But I can tell you I was lucky to go to many of their games and got to know this AAD and he was not a Calhoun fan. Hope I did not say too much for his sake but we had many a spirited discussion on why I thought Calhoun was perfect for UConn. He never understood.
