Borges: What’s Dan Hurley’s secret to creating a special connection with his players?

Always puzzled why he didn't get more credit for this. Exhibit A is 3/29/99. That game plan was incredible and was executed almost flawlessly. Yes lost some clunkers in the tourney (93 Florida, 96 Miss St and obviously 06 to name a few), but for the most part, was an excellent game planner. And program builder? Will never get the just due he deserves......there simply isn't anything that compares to what he inherited vs. what he created and ultimately left.

Florida was 94, Ricky Moore’s injury prior to Miss St killed the team defensively, not to mention Darrell Wilson having the game of his life. Couldn’t predict George Masón would shoot 80% in the 2nd half in 06. Things just happen sometimes and it’s not the coaches fault.

The FL game is not on Calhoun. I will always be convinced FL in Miami was a mob set-up. Guys were out clubbing on South Beach, hot girls wanted them to stay out, guys went back to hotel for bed check/curfew and a few snuck out to meet the girls again like most college guys would do. One guy had to be carried out of the club In the early morning hours.
