Comedian Larry David was none too happy with UConn coach Dan Hurley’s second half-tactics

“I’m the Larry David of college coaching with my antics and idiosyncrasies,” he said, laughing. “So I’m disappointed. … No, ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ that’s a good show.”

Too bad he can't make one more season and have Hurley as a guest star.

The world needs a Larry David vs Bill Murray basketball feud.

I assume it was tongue in cheek. Otherwise it’s kind of silly to tell someone to stop coaching a game that hat 15-minutes left while the other team has their starters in

I love Curb but it is definitely on the downswing and time to end the series. Some of my favorite episodes include "Palestinian Chicken" and "Rat dog" and Curb's treatment of Bill Buckner.

Maybe I don't get him, but everrytime I've seen interviews with him, I find him annoying. I've never watched his show.

Good thing he wasn’t on the sideline, might have tripped clingan

Maybe a hot take but it’s more disrespectful to Brad Underwood than it is to Dan Hurley for him to scream at Hurley to let up with 10 minutes left in the game

Guys like him, while humorous, have a strong “smartest guy in the room” complex, and need to tear people down. Odd, they are in some ways really negative but somehow make you laugh. Don’t know how, but seems to work.

From what I read this morning, it appears he was there as a guest and while maybe a fan of the sport, was not a fan of either team, and was annoyed that it turned into such a blowout.

Who's the coach here? David should just stick to comedy. Smsh.....

Probably should have told the other bench to "Start coaching". Would have been more appropriate.

Totally agree, Curb has been on the downswing for a few seasons but I thought season 10 was pretty solid & season 11 was ok....but this final season 12 is not very good so far. Have been a few funny storylines (Lori Loughlin episode) but it seems like Larry is emptying his "joke" briefcase on his way out. Curb is an all-time classic overall though imo.

I believe one of the articles or tweets I saw said he did that too lol

to bad he's not as good at his craft as Hurley is

Should've curbed.... well never mind.

Being one of, probably a few, who has never seen Curb, I really don't get this character. Is it this generations "Seinfeld"?

He should have stayed home and left the seat open for someone who cared about the game.

Pretty sure he was a producer on Seinfeld... I remember him from the old ABC SNL clone Fridays.

Before reading the article I figured no way Larry was actually mad but he actually might have been

That's just his shtick, he's a self-proclaimed PITA. I'm sure he figured Danny could take it.

As far as his humor goes, what makes it great is that he tip-toes the line of PC. Its hard to pull comedy off in this day in age.

He wrote Seinfeld. George Costanza was based on David in real life.

 

[Marat]

Big fan of Larry, no big deal - I can envision him yelling stuff at Hurley. Its his style.

Edited: could have even filmed a segment for Curb during that.... would fit right it.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Are people really getting angry about Larry David?

 

[alphasigko]

Is there any reason why I should care what Larry David thinks or opines about college basketball?

 

[SubbaBub]

It was a joke and pretty funny given the timing.
