Hopefully Coach Hurley puts an end to letting women participate in first night - sources telling me that's the real reason KO got canned

Some Guy

... with an unsurprising question

 

[DSquiz]

I'm so energized by Hurley. You could see the awe and disbelief that he is actually at UConn. This guy is going to take us places and I can't wait!

 

[outlaw]

HE FIXED HIS TIE!!!!

 

[bennyMr]

anyone know where I could watch a replay of the press conference?

 

[Dove]

Weird having a coach who says he works the refs too hard. You feel that pulse?

Ever since that famous double-technical has KO worked a ref?

 

[Danzz]

Sounds vaguely like if Cox isn't the next head coach at URI, then there is a good chance he comes here.

Yes I think that is a given. URI has to seriously consider Cox for HC but you can tell that Hurley would love to bring him to UConn.

 

[CL82]

Fun recollection of his last Seton Hall game.

And the tie to Ray Ray. "You alright?"

That was a funny quote.

After watching that presser I am ready to run through a brick wall. Let's go!!!!

 

[3rdbass]

Dan Hurley said all the right things and showed his passion he has for UCONN basketball. Loved the Ray Allen comments to Dan Hurley during the game going 3-15 when he was asking him "how is it going? Are you alright?" He brought some history and light heartedness to the conference. He wants to win at UCONN and thinks we just hit a speed bump that can be overcome. Go Dan Hurley and show UCONN is going to be back with the elite in a few years!

Said 98% of the football fans who didn't realize they were getting Diacoed.

 

[CL82]

Definitely seems to want his URI assistant Cox to join him here.

Sending a message to the AD, if you don't make him coach, I'll make him associate head coach.

Guilty.

What is Tim Welsh doing there?

He's a media member.

 

[HungryHuskies]

Team looks focused, but man Carlton does not look too happy/intrigued.

Mid-Atlantic:

We are UConn. The entire USA is our recruiting area, plus Canada, Europe and Israel. What did I miss?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Hurley is going to be a monster on the recruiting trail. Man, if he brings Cox over too. Listening to him speak for 20 minutes, good grief.

You like Cox?

 

[storrsroars]

The formula for these is simple.

Be enthusiastic. Say how thrilled you are to be here. Be a professional.

In other words, don’t Diaco the presser.

You seem to forget that people here were ready to run through a wall for Diaco after his introductory presser.

 

[UConnNick]

Interesting repeat there where he said “I repeat, we are committed to competing at the highest level...”. He has to know this league isn’t it. Was I the only one that thought that?

That was a not-so-subtle dig at the entire "Back to the Big East!" crowd. Loved it!

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Said 98% of the football fans who didn't realize they were getting Diacoed.

One of my first ever posted threads on here was about how I thought Diaco seems out of touch right after he got hired.
That's when I learned the Boneyard is not a place for hot takes if you don't have a cup on.
Turns out the take wasn't so hot.

 

[CL82]

You seem to forget that people here were ready to run through a wall for Diaco after his introductory presser.

Yep. Can't say that I was, but I can say that banged my head against a wall more than a few times during his tenure.
