Adam Schein Monologue Shutting Up the Hurley Haters

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

Yes agreed. Has there ever been a group that could game plan a ncaa tourney game better than these guys. If one of the three AK, LM or SB was hot we win. They gave us a better than even chance to walk out of that game with a W. Disappointed it did not happen but if they are together next year buckle your seat belts.

Next year is going to be fun!

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.

Bingo

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.

What were his veiled comments towards Pitino? Was it when he said "we are not suckers losing to a lower seed"?

What were his veiled comments towards Creighton?

Exactly! Why the heck is Chris Beard not grilled every single day? The dude should never been allowed on a court again.

But Hurley is the bad guy. Puh-leez.

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.

And I've lived in Chicago for over 20 years and my basketball friends love Hurley and Calhoun. One of them was a star college player who coached against Calhoun and one of them was AAD at a large Illinois University.

I feel like we've gone through this before. Your experiences were clearly very different than my experiences in Chicago and with people from the Midwest. Chicagoans tell it like it is, this isn't a city for the meek and fake.
 
Stephen A Smith rose a notch today defended Hurley.

Pat McCafee shut Rappaport down and called him out, while also taking a shot at the BS media. What they want Hurley to be. I was already a fan and now I am a bigger fan.

Greenberg said nothing other than convince me that he would sell out a family member if it meant saying the things the guys at ESPN want him to say.

Clearly Danny thought that was a safe zone and I really cannot imagine what some of the great coaches said in that area over the course of time.

The Refs have always hated us so who the heck knows what Calhoun used to say about them to them that never got out.

We proved yesterday that it makes no difference ( for the record I thought it was a decently officiated game, but AK thought he was fouled and for Hurley that was enough) we are UConn no one or entity can change that.

The media might try but they better be careful. Looks like SI is drawing a line to be anti Hurley not a surprise. I find the story about the guy who took the video interesting also how quickly he removed it. But he made his money already and he broke the rules.

And one of Hurley’s guys threatened to ruin his life for trying to hurt his coach. The mojo is getting strong for next year. Just like we did with Calhoun that chip on Danny shoulder will be a redwood by November 2025 and he will dare anyone to knock it off.

Hopefully the yard will be unified on this. We have the greatest coach and coaching staff on the planet. We will win every year Danny is the Coach the back to back and how we went out is just a start of an oncoming wave a dynasty if you will. To quote the best coach “It is coming get ready it’s coming” and by my count it’s 7 months away.

UConn vs the world and making it three out of four.

The key thing is that Danny thought this was a private conversation. If he said it during the game when he knew he was on camera or at the press conference or during an interview with the sideline reporter then it would be different. I guarantee that if you taped every losing coach's private conversations yesterday almost every one of them complained about the refs.
 
As my Pats fans friends always said “They hate us cause they ain’t us”.

We have and we can agree to disagree. People have different experiences. On this one I was just agreeing with Ruff and added more context to my experience. I have been around the board long enough to understand you are very knowledgeable in many aspects of not only CBB but basketball in general. I think your opinion brings value to the Yard and that is a good thing.

I know many people like you who moved to the Midwest from the east coast and feel just like you do. Unfortunately, for me I guess, is that I had a different experience. But I grew up in a rough part of CT and always have carried an edge especially when I was younger so I could have been the problem more than the people around me.

I loved South Carolina and still have friends in that state. Some have passed but the group I played golf with and we were young in our late twenties early thirties have gotten together on a regular basis. If I could I would move to South Carolina again in a heartbeat. Wife and kids not so much.

I made plenty of friends while I lived in Chicago and have some great memories especially with playing steel tip darts at the highest level of the Windy Cindy Masters league for 7 years. So I spent a lot of time in the pubs in the city. So with the blue collar folk I agree they are tough and in your face but the business people I worked with….college educated in the Midwest…..are mostly who I am referencing in these posts.

After 15 years in Palm Beach having one child born in Chicago and one down here and growing up in CT, were I am now feels like home to me and I am happy there are more people from New York and CT than the Midwest where I live. I get them better and I guess they get me better.

“He didn’t make funny faces”. The double standard is hilarious. But I’m over it.

He didn’t did he? Please stop there’s little comparison on these 2 people away from being really good coaches and winners. Calhoun would get a T then suddenly the calls went out way, truth it’s respect. Dan gets a T, nothing changes. They don’t like him can we admit that? There’s a reason and no one wants to discuss that because he’s ours. Geez he’s a great coach but he needs to change some things it’s really simple. Not a lot of things because most of it is what drives him but strategically it’s time.

But I’m over it too;)
 
Hurley was calm as hell on the sidelines and has been for awhile. Yes he bitches about bad calls but remember that he knows what he’s seeing out there from a lifetime of experience and he’s comparing what gets called on both sides in that particular game. It would take a 3 hour film session to break down all of the calls in a game (which our coaches do) and fans spouting off on what they THINK they might see on a tv screen on one play is well….
Remember when KO used to sit like a statue on the bench? Do we want that? Yes there will be passion and anger at times so….GOOD.
Hurley’s past reputation has carried him to this criticism now when he’s not nearly as animated or berating refs as before. Just watch other coaches doing the same thing and more.
 
Maybe stepping over a line but isn’t there a bit of irony that Hurley is being taken behind the wood shed for a comment just as his season ends, and that the coach on the other end of the court is a predator (and yes, I know what the “investigation” said, but the statement at the end only basically said not enough to convict, therefore nothing to see)?
