Pretty ridiculous slight. He went to an at the time garbage program, took them to the tournament twice, and by the way they made it to the second round both times.
Pretty ridiculous slight is being too kind. I've seen other people talk about this. They act like Hurley began his career at a P5 school like Michigan and "only has won 57% of his games." Guy coached 2 years at Wagner, going from 13 to 25 wins in his first couple of years. The onto Rhode Island, where they had won 6 tournament games before Hurley got there as a program. To win 2 tournament games in successive years was impressive for him.
Let's see what he can do when he can get run his program for 10 plus years.
Cuse fans are desperate to throw out anything disparaging about Hurley and his record so far in his career. Also claiming he should have been developing 1st round picks out the Atlantic 10.
Give him time with guys like Akok, Bouknight, Gaffney and others to come. Never had the level of talent at Rhode Island.
I hope Jim Boeheim keeps coaching forever. Lord knows kids love playing for a soon to be a 75 year old cranky coach who loves to throw his players under the bus.
