@mauconnfan, I'm out of my mind. I can't think about anything else.
My wife said to me "shouldn't you relax you've won four already" (yes, me personally) and I said the next one is the most important one!! So she went online and bought me some UConn socks. I love my wife. I love UConn Mens basketball just a little bit more. If you run into her don't tell her I said that:)
Damn you got a good one!!!
 
"The Duke Invitational" they were calling it if memory serves. They were blowing the doors off teams. I remember one pre-game court-side Calhoun interview. The guy saying how preeminent and feared Duke was, like it was universally acknowledged. Calhoun said something like, "They lost only one game, we lost two. We think we're pretty good too." I still have the VHS tape I made of that game. Never gets old.

Dooooomed!
77-74
Not one dime back.
He couldn't guard a chair.
How can you be 6'6" and get no rebounds?
If this is Bill, I have your VHS

That and his utter confidence that this team could win the whole thing. As a player, to hear Jim Calhoun come in and say “I know what championship teams look like and you championship team” must be unbelievable and empowering.

Kudos to Dan Hurley for being comfortable enough in his own skin that he’s not intimidated having Jim Calhoun talk to his team.

(We are still doomed.)

Good leaders don't fear bringing in other good leaders. Good leaders love to bring in other leaders to show what is going on share perspectives.

He does. And that’s to Coach Hurleys credit. He gets it. There was a time during our JC heyday where a frosty relationship between Bob sr. and JC was discussed here and elsewhere ( decades before Dan was coach) because it affected our new jersey recruiting. There was always mutual respect there because both of those guys are two tough old SOB’s and usually when that’s the case they repel like the same sides of a magnet. Dan is smart enough and clear headed enough to draw across ALL resources. And deserves full credit for that. And so does JC , he pulled him out of those island.
In the presser, when asked about Calhoun, Dan was all praise, but he also brought in Geno. He again talked about how much he loves learning from them, and then made a joke about how hard it is to have a conversation with both of them at the same time. It got a laugh. And then he said he wanted a picture with both of them at the Final Four, I assume together.

But JC was always someone who was going to butt heads with people. It is what makes him the GOAT. Glad Hurley was able to keep him a part of the program, and I'm glad that JC loves the program enough that he'd be there to support a Hurley. :D
