Coaches standing on court

Danny definitely pushes the boundaries on that. I know he's been warned in years prior about it, might have even gotten a T once but I can't recall. What i do know is once conference games start he'll be reigned in by other coaches going to th erefs about it, trying to bust his balls or get in his head.

I get Shaka does it too. But Danny already has had beefs with a lot of Big East refs. The folks who think that that wouldn’t play a factor and that the refs would be totally fair and down the middle are perhaps a bit naive.

I think its a way for Hurley to assert his presence/power to both the team and refs, particularly the latter without berating those officials.

Speak a little more softly & carry a big stick onto the court if you will.

Shaka practically stands in the lane. Big East refs don’t care

Right but I’m pretty sure there is some NCAA rule that says if you have a cool name like “Shaka” you can do it.

I’d rather have Hurley engaged and standing on the floor encouraging the players rather than sitting.
Ollie sat a lot and it annoyed me greatly.

I still remember that Auburn game where Ollie just sat there smug in his chair while Bruce Pearl who is a lot older was jumping up and down screaming. I was screaming more than Ollie for him to get fired. LOL!

This thread has some serious “old man yelling at cloud” vibes to it.

Love Shaka (he went to the same HS as me here near Madison) , but yeah seeing him in a defensive stance yesterday damn near trapping Kansas players was a bit over the top.

If coaches want to do it behind the play that seems totally fine. While your team is playing defense seems a bit much.
