Message: [QUOTE="nashusky109, post: 4214171, member: 7437"] He criticized the refs during the Xavier game for awful/missed calls and up to the point of the first technical last night there were multiple missed calls that nova was getting that UConn wasn't. Martin CLEARLY got fouled and Hurley got mad. As a coach would you rather have Ollie who didn't look like he fought for his players and sat on the bench moping around or would you rather have Hurley who stands up to refs and stands up for his players getting fouled? I agree that he sometimes needs to tone it down but last night was an abomination. Hawkins showed excitement for his block and the ref was right there.. if he wanted to T him up he would've IF it was bad enough. Andre let the ball go on the guy (mistake) but the nova guy threw it right back to him. Double Tech... its called attitude and its good to play with some. In regards to Hurley swearing... you clearly never heard Coach Calhoun at a game. Also.. here is a little excerpt from a NYP article that Ian O Connor wrote about the illustrious coach K. "The first time I sat directly behind the Duke bench, I could not believe what I heard. Mike Krzyzewski was already an all-time great college basketball coach, but I had no idea he was a world-class curser too. Even a drunken sailor would have insisted that he be ejected from the game. Coach K’s profanity knew no bounds. Refs, players, assistants, you name it — nobody was spared. I remember thinking to myself, “There are a lot of grandmothers across America who adore this guy who would be mortified if they sat within 15 rows of him.” Hurley isn't the first nor the last coach to use some colorful language.
