Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4204446, member: 1414"] I appreciate Hurley's extreme enthusiasm for the program and for winning at UConn. He seems to acknowledge he sometimes goes to far, but on the whole the kids love playing for him. He puts it all out there. I can live with the sideline antics during games. But I'd be lying if I didn't think there was a little too much NJ tough guy in his act. He's not a 17 year old hood rat (and probably never was). He's a 49 year old professional, and doesn't need to respond to insults like he's Tony Soprano. He should lose that instinct. “A couple of fans were yelling ‘(Bleep) you, Hurley, you suck,” [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/uconn/article/Brutal-Dan-Hurley-agitated-embarrassed-by-16824574.php']Hurley said[/URL]. “So I yelled back at them. If you’re going to yell at me, and you’re 100 feet away, behind layers of people — that’s some coward (stuff). But I understand. It’s part of the deal. [U]But I’ll say, too, that you may hear something back from me. I won’t just walk away[/U].” Note the 100 feet away, suggesting he'd potentially get in a physical altercation if they were closer. This is not the right answer. You walk away because it's the professional thing to do and you have something to lose that those guys don't. Tell security. Let them handle it. [/QUOTE]
