From Dom.

[I]Hurley sat Vital down at times, especially when he drew technical fouls for jawing with officials, or opposing players. They sat down together over the summer to hash things out, clear up some of those “slights.”

“We spent a lot of time talking,” Hurley said. “There was no mediator, it wasn’t like relationship counseling, but it was good. We understand him better and he understands how I need him to carry himself. I just want him to play with the mindset that he’s not at odds with the staff. The staff’s behind him, we just need him to play a certain way and to be a positive leader. We want him to be able to have a year he feels good about.”

Said Vital: “We understand each other a lot more now, we’re on the same page. I think we have the relationship a head coach and a senior guard are supposed to have in a winning program.”[/I]
