Dan Hurley interviewed by JJ Redick

[awfuldan]

This is one of the more enlightening Hurley interviews you will find. Several gems in here, including a great discussion of how our offensive system was developed.

a few weeks ago i was either watching an nba studio show on espn or listening to an NBA pod, cant remeber which, but JJ was on the show/pod. Cooper Flagg came up and the panel was talking about how it was b/w Duke and UConn, and JJ said that UNC and UConn are the two teams he hates and will always root against. everyone else is a distant third. i guess he blames us for depriving him of a chip in 2004 so i'm sure he wasn't happy that we tied and passed duke in chips over the last 2 seasons as well.

Reddick is a rock star Analyst, intelligent and really intuitive. Good interview and take any Hurley nuggets I can, but a lot of it is sounding alike at this point given how many interviews he takes. Can only produce so much new content.

 

[tuvent08]

Redick is an excellent interviewer.

 

[Mazhude]

Danny talking about stealing formations from football! Good stuff!

Bronny incoming.

Kids listen to Lebron. He's been hyping up Hurley for a while now. Every little bit helps in a recruiting pitch

Wonder if LeBron would like to go to college? He has 4 years he never used. He could play with Bronny

 

[jibsey]

The complexity of our offense is nuts. At least to me.

 

[HobokenHusky]

"0 chance i'm leaving to coach a college program other than UConn in my college coaching career" - paraphrase, but worth pulling out. He's going to the NBA at some point, but until then he's ours unless the administration does something historically stupid. GIVE THIS MAN WHAT HE NEEDS.

 

[nomar]

Interesting to hear Hurley admit his agent told him to be purposely evasive about the UK job. Most of us assumed that was the case but it was funny to hear him come out and say it.

 

[gsmooth]

This is all great PR, branding, and a great sales pitch to a recruit. When the King, arguably the greatest of all time says this about the playing style of your school's basketball program, that will get any recruits attention.

Last year there was a great redick interview of Buzelis where he asked the kid what player he’s played with is under the radar. Buzelis said Steph Castle and said his court vision is insane, Redick asked where Castle is going. When he said UConn, redick let out the most hilarious F-word I have ever heard, it was lovely

 

[GoConn]

this was fantastic!!

[fireford]

Like the interview but still can't believe Redick recently dismissed all of the players from the Bob Cousy era as "firemen and plumbers".

 

[Hey Adrien!]

He’s a freakin’ genius.

 

[UconnU]

Such a great interview, JJ should be one of these innovative offensive assistants like Luke Murray. He understands the game at a very high level.

 

[nomar]

Never realized the impact Blaney had on him

 

[kansashusky]

Smiling like an idiot listening to this. Hurley is so so good.

 

[UconnU]

Hurley has constantly been talking about the need to avoid parents who infect the organization, he’s clearly had experience with this, CFJ Sr?

 

[Woodson]

Bizarro world listening to (and enjoying) JJ Reddick salivate at the feet of the UConn head coach, 20 yrs after we ripped out his heart and stomped on it (year of banner #2)
