Dan Hurley Gone ..!!!

[JMick]

I don't even click on his articles anymore. He's a loser. He also gets off on reading the yard.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Jesus this is pathetic.

 

[nomar]

More like Mike DeMauron amirite?

 

[Huskyforlife]

If you clicked on that article you’re playing right into his hands. Just ignore him.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I’d say delete the thread, but it’ll probably get reposted.

 

[LIuconn]

Knew it was him before I clicked the thread

There's a lot of personal and professional disappointment behind a grown man choosing a career as a professional troll. But he is who he is. Hard to muster much reaction since we've been seeing the exact same story for years now, just with different wrappings.

 

[djct1999]

It’s hard for him. Surely we understand that. Before long he will crawl again under his little mushroom. Until then, ignore. He is a loser.

Mike DiMauro: Is there anybody in charge of Dan Hurley at UConn?

Feb. 23—Winning is the great deodorant, faithfully freshening all that pungency that would otherwise be more odious and obvious with a different outcome. In that spirit, all hail Dan Hurley, the conquering hero. He's winning. Enough said. The Huskies are back, baby, with the only caveat that...

Some true stuff in recapping some recent blowups . But too harsh. The stuff about security not having enough balls to eject bouk from the arena was pretty dumb as if bouk committed a crime.

Simple question
If it was you - Joe Regular fan who kept walking on the court during the game, getting in the refs face at one point and asked to leave - you dont think they would escort you out?
It's one thing to be a true blue fan but c'mon
He got to do his little tour of the student section because of who he is

I dont agree at all that Hurley should have been tossed from the Nova game - not when he was tossed and for the reason. Pure BS by the ref

 

[BoukofJames]

This guys whole existence creeps me out. What an absolute freak. I forgot all about him after I blocked him on Twitter a while back

 

[wheelerdog]

I don't think he likes us very much.....

The new London day bahahahah

 

[SouthBayHusky]

How is he employed? He’s a third rate hack. A loser.

 

[Deadrody]

Donny Marshall's sarcastic clapping against PC was worse.

Definitely two calls in a class all their own

 

[Deadrody]

One of the biggest games of the year. Coach gets tossed being a jackass. People blame the ref. The Yard.

I can only imagine you shrinking violets watching a Calhoun coaching job.

 

[Deadrody]

Uconn -4
Villanova -3


Tell them go home

Eh, storming the court over a regular season win against #8 in the country is pretty damn lame. I get that most of the students in attendance never experienced the level of success this program was used to, but typically you reserve that kind of response for a game against the #1 team. Not as lame as doing it coming off a national championship against #5 AZ, but still fairly lame

 

[Deadrody]

I remember UNC storming the court when they beat UConn.

You may be thinking of Michigan. I've seen a couple references to it. UConn was #15 at the time in 2010

 

[Deadrody]

To be fair to Wright, it was not a backcourt violation. Whaley tipped the ball and we got lucky to get the call

I'd have to see something official, but just having touched it with a finger tip shouldn't be the determining factor. Whaley did not tip the ball into the backcourt. His finger may have grazed the ball as it was 100% going into the backcourt. The way the rule is written in the NBA, it would have to be sent into the backcourt by the tip, which in this case it clearly wasn't.

The NCAA rule is a little more problematic. There are two sections that contradict one another - last touched by the opposing team, not a violation, either team can recover the ball without a violation if the ball was CAUSED to go into the backcourt by the defense.

The spirit of the rule should not be about a ball that may have been grazed by a finger tip.

Calhoun wouldn't have gotten that second tech playing with the crowd. Never would have happened. That is the point. You have to know when the step back.

 

[Bricklayer]

Did you feel the same in the 1986 - 2013 timeframe?

quite often, yes. no need for this type of behaviour from a collegiate coach - or from anyone else, for that matter. cannot fathom anyone being happy with a coach berating players and swearing in front of women and children the way it happened during those years. mistakes happen, but when it becomes a trend, as we are currently witnessing, not so good. again, jmho

No coach has ever been t’d up for hyping up the crowd. There is no way Hurley thought he’d be tossed for that. Absolutely no way.

I was right behind the UConn bench and Hurley was absolutely being a jerk and trying to show up the refs. He wasn’t trying to get the crowd to cheer. He was trying to get them to boo and abuse the refs. Kind of a punk childish thing to do. Might not have been T worthy, but it was borderline. Also, I’ve been to lots of basketball games in my life. I can’t say I have seen a coach do quite what he did. I’ve seen coaches stamp and break clip boards and all manner of thing, but Turing to the crowd and encouraging them to get more abusive? Nope.

Hurley has earned himself a reputation as a hothead and a jerk. Refs in major conferences aren’t putting up with that. When you get that rep, the tendency is going to be to call the T, because refs don’t want to have to deal with childish crap for 40 minutes.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Tell us you didn't watch the game without telling us you didn't watch the game.

Isn't that how this goes?

Y’all just be saying anything nowadays huh ? Lol

Lolz, sure you were.

Credit where it’s due. It’s better working there than writing periodic high school sports articles for the patch or some other online “publication.” Barely, but definitely better.
