As a guy who watched his teams play in the field house as student, absolutely. Thank God there was no internet then. We didn’t have cable TV or nitpick every decision.

My own view is that Hurley is a very good coach. He’s caught between what he ideally wants to do, and the capabilities of his actual players. Here’s the rub, he will never, ever have a lineup that fits his ideal way to play. Hurley will need to learn to adjust to the guys he has and maximize what they can do.  Like our players, he’s learning. At the moment I think he’s focused too much on “how do I use this non ideal guy Josh”, and it’s causing him to under-utilize Akok And probably Polley.

So I rely on this. His dad was a legend. He loves the game. He loves what UConn can be again. He’s smart and will get there. He is on the way now. Getting Vital to mostly play within himself is. Big step given CVs overinflated view of his game. Now he needs to convince Akok that he can’t be stopped. Because he probably can’t. Sid looks like a guy who needs a little rope. Give him a shot. Hurley is making adjustments. Some don’t work out, but he has to try.
