Dan Hurley Gone ..!!!

Was Hurley's second tech worse than Ollie's vs Louisville in 14?
Expand ...

yes, because Hurley did absolutely nothing

he didn't yell at the ref
he wasn't arguing
he wasn't complaining demonstratively

he smiled, high fived Sanogo, turned to the crowd and waved to them to stand up

James Breeding was in way over his head all night long. He should never be allowed to do a big east game again
 
Watched the replay. Stupid move by the ref. Hurley's reputation catching up to him. Gotta wonder if the refs have been told to reign in the coaches after Juwan Howard went nuts too.

A win is a win is a win. Move on and get better. Refs included.

Is it the ref's job to "look the other way"? Do you want a ref to "look the other way" when a foul/violation is committed?

Look the other way is the wrong term because there was nothing to look the other way from. Pumping up the crowd is not illegal.

The Ollie double tech against Louisville was a look the other way one as he was still arguing. This was not.

Refs need to be held accountable.

And honestly anyone criticizing him for the 2nd tech needs to too smh

Yes, one is while the game is going on and your job is to look. The other is not your job

I just rewatched the sequence. Without hyperbole, that's the most pathetic display of referring I've ever seen. The first tech was a joke, the second is a disgrace. That ref should never see a college basketball court again.
 
Was Hurley allowed to coach the team during half time in the locker room or is a coach not allowed to do so if they get ejected in the first half?

It took me a while, but I think I figured out what the “gb” in your handle stands for. Out of politeness I won’t spell it out.

Seriously, you’re one of the worst of the worst on here. Not sure how someone can be so miserable and negative 24/7/365. Seek help. Seriously.

You think he acts appropriately on the sidelines?? This is major college bball, not kindergarten. Until he gets a grip this will keep happening and it will cost us games like it almost did tonight. Good thing he has a solid lieutenant who stepped in and was masterful tonight.

He needs to learn how to control himself. If you can’t see that your just blind. I’m critical when it’s warranted. Sorry if your skin is too thin to handle it. Maybe you should try the women’s team where everything is rainbows and butterflies.

Let me guess, you reffed a CYO game and a player got a technical for amping up the crowd and his father came out of the stands and punched him in the face and now that kid is the mayor of your town because of the lesson he learned.

If you’re a UConn basketball fan and you think that was a legit T - and Seth Davis disagrees with you - you are one strange kind of fan.

Look, I am a proud UConn grad, and a former college basketball player. I bleed Blue and White. I officiated (high school, not college) basketball for 12 years. I do NOT praise or criticize referees lightly. I have found that on this blog there is an inordinate discussion of officiating, be it basketball, football or hockey. Officiating is difficult. In most gyms/arenas/stadiums the decisions we make will likely please 50% of the crowd while alienating the other 50%. It comes with the territory. We must accept that, or we would not subject ourselves to the inevitable criticism. We do it because we love the game, whether or not you believe it.

In this case yes, less. If you really thought that was worthy of a 2nd technical can’t help.

Has nothing to do with it. We could all read his lips. He didn’t deserve the 2nd, but the words he was spewing after the 1st were not good. You guys all seem okay with him though, so more power to you. He’s your coach.

It was bogus but he simply needs to control himself. Sanogo was doing everything to get him to stop and he just wouldn't stop. This is one of the most insane crowds I've ever heard, everyone is hammered.

The boys seemed to play with a fire after Hurley got kicked out. This was winning basketball tonight we really havent seen from this group yet. Hoping this shows them they can really win at this lev.

They were invested in the game from the jump

Sometimes as a coach, you have to put it all on the line. The last thing a ref wants to do is throw a coach out of a game, but if the coach feels that he is not being heard, he's got to make a stand and force his team to grow up and respond.

The team responded, and now they know their coach will lay all on the line and when he does, they have to be ready. I'm just glad it happened now, than in the BE or NCAA tourney.

I think he sent the message to the refs as well.
 
I think Danny just gave Kimani a nice gift, and he did very well with it. Danny totally wanted that second T
