Dan Hurley Postgame Media Availability - Villanova (2-18-25)

Anyone who says "it doesn't matter who starts; it matters who finishes" hasn't played sports at a high level. I don't really care who of the two starts for us, but denying the fact that starting matters to players is just silly.

This is true. But ignoring Danny’s loyalty to guys who put in the work goes against the very culture of what this program is about. Danny is loyal to a fault. It’s also why most kids who play for him will run through a wall for him. Again, Tarris had an amazing half that truly impacted the game. I think he has earned a bump in minutes and will see similar play time bs St. John’s. Now the question becomes can Tarris bring this Herculean effort consistently. If he does, awesome. He will be rewarded. If he plays like he did too many times this season he won’t.

Yes I’m very confident his teaching and leading are not the problem. These are the two things he’s absolutely elite at

he is elite at these things, but saying your kids arent playing hard enough because Reed and JStew don't emote in a "live or death" way is a deflection from his lack of adjustments & coaching in the Seton Hall game. No one is dogging it.

Sure does - blows my mind it’s dismissed. It matters. Imagine the confidence boost a kid like Tarris gets. And a vet who’s come off the bench to win a title should be able to handle it for the team.

It any game to employ it StJ would be it.

I tried to explain this--he doesn't get it. No one thinks Hurley is a bad leader; he's a leader who made a colossal mistake that he will learn from.

I perfectly get it. Your post said that he's making excuses for not teaching and leading kids. That's what I responded to.

The takes on here are dumbfounding. It’s equally entitled and embarrassing. Somehow the yard knows more than the staff w back to back titles.

You must be new here. Of course the Yard knows more than the coach. Newbies! Don’t You know Hurley, Mora, Geno, Cav all look here for coaching advice. It’s simple, When they win it is because the followed it. When they lose they didnt. Even if there are 50 different opinions! LOL
