Message: [QUOTE="FreeKlaiber, post: 5202489, member: 9258"] I dont despise Hurley at all, think he is among the best coaches going. I had first positive post about him in Praise Hurley thread. Having been a coach for 25 years, I dont like a coach calling out their players for being weak willed [B]publicly[/B], especially since you sanctimoniously bragged on they are right type of people when you recruited them. Saying your players arent tough enough to take your hard coaching shifts the issue to his players being the problem. Therefore if they were only tougher, I could coach them up. He's a great coach who is having a good season, but not three-peat he dreamed of, and his recent public comments point away from him, towards his players. Describing the oob blame issue in presser is good example of this deflection of criticism. Sorry if you somehow aren't able to intellectually perceive that. Pitino did same thing last year, and I think he is among best coaches to ever do it. [/QUOTE]
