Caron spoke to the team after BYU game!

[HailUConn]

“A win is a win and there is no bad win! You build from there! “

As Huskies fans, We should never question Hurley. To me, he is nearing GOAT status now in UConn MBB. Point.blank.period!

 

[CL82]

I loved the acknowledgment "you made a lot of mistakes..." in a generally positive statement.

 

[HailUConn]

just love what Hurley is doing around the program. He is making every effort to gravitate everyone to the program and culture that his predecessors have built here.

“You inherit something special when you put this ish on”- Caron pointing to his chest.

I bet practice on sunday said different 😆

 

[Jbirdp5]

Love how Caron and so many of the alums have so much pride in the program all these years later!

 

[InKembaITrust]

Caron's the real deal.

Both Caron and Ray in the house. Talk about UConn royalty. Were there any other former players in attendance?

 

[Horatio]

No one has it better than us right now. That’s NBA assistant coach Caron Butler, standing next to Tom Moore, across from Dan Hurley, giving a speech to the #3 Huskies. The legacy in that video is thick

Yes, a very valid argument can be made that Dan Hurley is nearing GOAT status, but we can never forget how high of a bar it is to clear to be nearing GOAT status as a men's basketball coach at UConn.

There is an exceptionally short list of coaches who belong in the same conversation as JC when it come to what he accomplished, especially when compared to where the program started when he arrived here.

I love Dan Hurley. But he's still got a while to go to catch up to what JC did. Taking the doormat of the Big East to not only the top of the conference but all of college basketball is a feat practically nobody else has matched in modern times. Danny only wanted to helm this program because of what JC made it.

All that said, a few more titles and I'll give the crown to Dan Hurley!

 

[uconnad]

Keep bringing the OG's back !

 

[UCTitleTown]

Caron attended the football game too before heading to the hoops game.

 

[Son of Robert]

I love this stuff, so much legacy, so much experience, so much positive influence, all towards our current players seeing that they are part of something greater when they put on that UConn uniform.

Agreed. If Danny keeps it up and gets to 4# rings of his own, he can be the GOAT.

Right now, that’s Calhoun

Not sure there ever can be a comparison.
What Calhoun did was so hard and unique. He CREATED it.
What Hurley did wasn't much easier, he RESURRECTED it.
Such different jobs, done equally well.

He was so, so, so good in a Uconn uniform. I loved watching him play. Just a special player.

"We should never question Hurley."
Will we be fined if we dare to do so?

As good as people think of Caron, he was still underrated. Ask Calhoun.
Incredibly skilled but also pure will as a basketball player.

If that UConn 2002 team had gotten by Maryland, I think they win it all. Even if they did not win it all, I think Caron would have been looked at much more highly with a Final 4 appearance. Caron was the not just the best player on the team and on the court for most games, but he was an alpha male and played tough, hence the best nick name ever, Tuff Juice.

Everyone here talks about how the 2004 team was so great in comparison to other NCAA championship teams, and it was, but can you imagine how great the 2003 team would've been if Caron decided to return? Caron actually wanted to do this, but Calhoun pretty much forced him to go to the NBA Draft and it was the correct move.

I think Dan would be more than comfortable with "worthy successor" or "keeper of the flame"; there's only one first.
