Andrea Hurley Appreciation Thread

[InKembaITrust]

Thank you, Andrea!!

 

[huskies20]

AD David Benedict Knew that

No need to leave the Northeast. Ask Jim and Geno and Jim (baseball) and hopefully Jim (football)

We're family

Is NJ considered the Northeast? Let's hope Rutgers doesn't come calling. Or Syracuse, you know he'd jump ship for that job in a heartbeat like the Syracusefans think! Or maybe a rebuild of the BC program. I wouldn't get too comfortable.

Hey Andrea…

Asking for the Syracuse fans - Is Syracuse considered the Northeast? Or is Canada too far away?

 

[NJHoops]

Dan’s always had a very short list of jobs he’d be interested in, should he be fortunate enough to be considered. UConn’s always been on it. Even him leaving URI was not the certainty everyone assumed it would be. In the end, he just couldn’t turn down UConn. Major life changes, new jobs included, should always be a two yes deal in a relationship. He turned down the first college head coach position he was offered, because it was very much a one yes, one no situation.

This place is so weird

 

[Luna]

Wow… what a great time to be a uconn fan…between Hurley Geno and Mora…we have got the best coaches in the country!!!!

 

[elmcityboy]

kentucky fan message board users punching the air right now

I think that the list of jobs DH would consider are Celtics, Knicks, Nets, Sixers, Wizards, maybe not the latter.

I’m no coaching expert, but I don’t think Hurley’s style would work well in today’s NBA.

Connecticut is unfortunately lacking a lot of things, it's why so many people move away.

And we're happy you did.

Pitt was on a shortlist of schools?

I think they thought they had him. He would never pick UConn over Pitt

Not enough, apparently, because every time I visit, it's got more traffic than ever before.

More and more development for old colonial towns that simply can't handle it. Westport is very nice, but I hate driving around that place. Good luck trying to find a road to bike there.

 

[formerlurker]

I thought this was an Andrea Hurley "appreciation" thread of a different sort.

Good for Coach for marrying up several levelseses. Haha.

Like most women she’s really calling the shots. We should congratulate her on the season. But in all honesty I hear she assumes like a team mom type role? Very important role. All good teams have one.

 

[Huskyforlife]

In all seriousness, I’m glad she’s taken on a small role with the team. Probably makes it feel more like a family.

 

[bluestreak]

And I opened this thread thinking it was about Andrea.

Syracuse is a Midwest school

 

[XLCenterFan]

The only person that matters is DH. Without him moving here we'd all be miserable.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

and, oh, don't forget that tomorrow brings a new 'trucking tax' to Connecticut. even the state 'experts' fear that those trucking companies not registered here, and just passing thru, will mostly laugh at reporting anything to the state. or just drive around us. prolly gonna bring a wave of staties pulling over the trucks to 'check their papers.' lovely.

My hometown has completely changed since the pandemic. Traffic everywhere and it's been totally fancified. Great place to grow up but I don't like what's happened and continues to happen, I don't particularly like the place anymore.
