Message: [QUOTE="Gburyhusky, post: 5329759, member: 11572"] I was fortunate to be able to attend one of the summer sessions at UConn in August. After the practice scrimmage we were given guided tours of the facilities, including the basketball staff offices. All of the doors were open and the staff were in their offices working. A group of about 10 of us were in the hallway when Coach Hurley appeared from his office and said to the group "Do you like the smell?" I thought it was a weird question, but I did notice that there was a unique smell throughout the building, like a high end air freshener. Hurley then explained to the group that over the summer that he and the staff had developed a plan to help the team with road trips during the season. The plan involves using a certain formula air fresheners in the Werth basketball facilities (he explained what was in them), and then using the same formula air fresheners in the hotel rooms of the players and staff for road trips this season. The concept is that this will help the players psychologically on road trips because the smell will be a familiar one and would help them more easily adjust to the road environment. I am posting this here because it's perhaps some insight into his mindset and focus. (He was incredibly gracious and friendly to everyone). [/QUOTE]
