Message: [QUOTE="Kenny11, post: 2913559, member: 7303"] The thing I noticed more than anything at the game yesterday was how over-the-top positive and encouraging Hurley was to his team. Carlton made a free throw and Hurley was screaming "great job Josh!!!" He screamed it so loud that if it was Calhoun I would've taken it as sarcasm. But it was real. 99% of coaches have no reaction to a made free throw. It is just expected. 2 or 3 times Vital (who had a bad offensive game) made an out of control play and Hurley encouraged him instead of chewing him out and pulling him. I remember after he got the job, Hurley mentioned that because of the hell of the last 2 years some of our players were broken mentally (he didn't use those words) and needed to be built back up. I think that is what he is doing here. Or is he always like that? I didn't watch enough of him at Rhode Island to know [/QUOTE]
