Bench coaches to guide Hurley's in-game coaching?

I checked, and it turns out all the coaches of the other Big East teams also have impressive resumes. Coaching is graded on a curve, and unfortunately for Hurley, he is coaching in a league that may have the best coaches in college basketball overall. Most games at this level are decided by a handful of plays, so a coach that is making mistakes will eventually stand out.

Hurley's issues are fixable, if he wants to fix them. His call.
So a coach who is missing by far his best player and has continued to win in possibly the best conference is making mistakes that so many here say need to be fixed. Give me a break. Fan is short for fanatic after all. Ok, we layed an egg vs St John's. You going to trade Mike Anderson for Dan Hurley?

Hell No...People need to let go of the St. John’s wtf game. Regardless of the Sanogo benching. The good guys should have pulled that one out easily. Dan Hurley gets the overall blame, but the players should have put that one away. Too complacent after getting out to a big lead.
 
Nose snort elicited
AKA "Bench Technical Bot".
The Game Chat critiques the players in real time too. So if they watch it, they'll get some pointers on how to improve their game, especially, if they are at the end of the bench and maybe the Assistants who watch it, will claim they have a good idea and tell the coach. If the chat suggestion helps, they get the Credit.

If it is tablet size, Dan Hurley won't get distracted and fertile ideas will develop from watching the Game Chat.

Just another take. TIFWIW.

Nose snort V 2.0 elicited

Too many snorts may elicit an visit to the ENT or even the ER.
More concerning, the coaching staff's nasal snorts inconveniently elicited should some chat room zealot present his version of a Boneyard How to Coach game tablet

why do you think the UConn players aren’t good? I think the roster is very talented.

In the worst case scenario, would not be as problematic as Reddit.
 
Yeah, since we're focusing so much on hard hedges, the shot-blocking 4 makes a lot of sense. Kind of the best of both worlds when you get someone who can block shots like a big on defense, but spread the floor like a guard on the other end.

I wish we had a defense other than hard hedge and pressure the ball. We basically do the same thing on defense all the time, and just switch matchups. Some kind of zone or another wrinkle in our man to man defense could make use better. There isn't a lot to complain about... we're kenpom 22 in the country in defense. But I think we could be better with a couple of different looks in our back pocket for a few minutes a game to change the tempo.

Our best look right now is Whaley at the 4 and Sanogo at the 5 for sure. I'd imagine a healthy Akok/Johnson next year if they are ready to contribute could be very effective at taking our defense to the next level.

I think most coaches are wrong in their definition of spread the floor. 5 and usually even a 4 out is not spreading the floor. That is making the defense's life easier.

Putting players one move away from a high percentage shot is spreading the floor.

You're talking about two completely different coaches, but why am i not surprised by your take on this.

The only two setting most Boneyard posters have for our coaches are "Absolute Worship" and "Visceral Hatred".

There are other settings on the coaching dial.
