The timing could not possibly be worse.

We have a tournament and borderline top 25 team coming off two national championships. Maybe to some of our irrational Boneyarders this timing couldn’t be worse, but let’s be reasonable here

Agreed. Without knowing, I would guess he was sitting down for these interviews while telling reporters that kids had one foot in and one foot out. It's a bit rich to me.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

It’s really not that big of a deal

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not

If you think for one second Hurley would let this interfere with his primary coaching job you haven’t been paying attention.

I wonder if all these things would be coming out if he was in the middle of 3peat.

On March 15th UConn will be at worst a lock Tourney team, coming off back-to-back titles, a top 5 incoming recruiting class & maybe going for the BE Championship that night....what's the problem?

It blows that the coach of this program is the face of college basketball. Would be much better to have a guy like Red Autry.

Good for Bob, I mean Bobby, I mean Dan. Who cares? Play ball.

 

[kansashusky]

The trailer gave me goosebumps

 

[FfldCntyFan]

IIRC, the evening of selection Sunday 2014 ESPN premiered Requiem for the Big East. The way I see it, things are beginning to fall into place

 

[RuffRuff]

A give him his flowers year - he earned it. I accepted this awhile ago. Should be last of its kind, a once in a lifetime chance to capture the beauty of the last two years in ESPN doc emblazoned form.

Could be worse, he could have left for the Lakers. Now I’m interested in how he carries forward.

Somebody gets it.

Man this looks amazing.

Welp, it's March and it's time for some mojo.

I am adding that tag line to the rest of my posts this season.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Is this the behind the scenes stuff they teased last preseason?

 

[Shabazzkets]

The timing is fine. He earned a documentary. Will be entering the tournament in the middle of a threepeat attempt. It’s not like the documentary is about Jon Scheyer.

 

[Inyatkin]

Why do some people act like a slightly disappointing season is equivalent to getting caught in some scandal?

Timing could not possibly be worse? What?

Hey, Dawn Staley has a new book coming out. What? Doesn't she know her team got blown out by UConn? What a loser!

 

[uconnever]

Yeah Calhoun had down years as well during a rebuild. I honestly didn’t expect to win it this year. I do want to make a run to the elite 8 at least. I know it will be hard for this team. But it’s very obvious to me that with what we have coming in and oh my god another year of Reed. I do see Ross being a defensive stopper the next two years we are back on the rise with the right addition or two. Were right there.

 

[Umami Zen]

He's promoting the UConn brand-good.. He's promoting his brand ahead of a book release in Sept-smart. And he's deflecting some of the attention put on his team as they head into Tournament time so that some of the pressure is off -- and perhaps they can play loose and relaxed-good.

Surprised at the Kevins and Karens on the Yard jumping all over him. I can understand opposing team's social media platforms. But here? Can't imagine what it would be like around here if we were 9-20 instead of 20-9.

Its March- Crazy things can happen as we all know.

 

[BlueandOG]

The more eyes on UCONN the better. There is no such thing as bad press. Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so. Let's use this as more motivation to WIN!

The 11am release gives us plenty of time to watch it before the boys take the court Saturday night.

Looks good to me. Rehashing a lot of the stuff that we already know/have already seen and read before.

 

[superjohn]

I love the publicity even though this story has been beaten to death.

I want to be pumped for this, but given so much of the narrative and content was tidal waved at us last season/summer, are we going to learn anything new here? Or is it just going to be a tighter weaved doc narrated by Jeremy Schapp?

Are we going to learn anything new here? Of course not, the story has been told 4,000 times.

Hopefully it has a great soundtrack.

The most important thing for our program in the shifting college sports landscape is to be relevant.

Some of you people have lost the plot.
