Why are you named WeAreUConn? You're obviously a Duke fan. I think You can't be a fan of both. We're not interested in hearing anything positive about Duke on the Boneyard.
He's no where close to Coach K, who I think was widely overrated and pimped by ESPN, who consistently did less with more. How was he not able to win many more national titles with teams filled with multiple Burger AAs every single year? Compare that to Jim Calhoun's success where he usually had one or maybe two at most McDonald's all Americans on his teams. He got his players to play like wild dogs and got the better of Coach K on his way to winning a couple of his National championships, our first and the Emeka led team.
Scheyer is cut from the same cloth. Last year he had three top 10 draft picks including the number one pick and couldn't even get that team to the championship game. He again has an extremely high ranked and talented roster and is beating up arguably one of the weakest ACC conferences in the past 25 years. IMO, anything short of winning the national championship shows he's unworthy of having a sniff of the coach of the year award.
The fact Hurley not making the list it's a crime. He's not on it primarily because he's not very well liked. As much as I love having him as our coach, and know he's a really good person, his personality rubs people the wrong way. Similar to Bill Belichick, he's always going to have haters.
I don't think I'm alone in this, but I don't want to hear anything Duke at all on our the Boneyard unless it's about them losing or UConn beating the snot out of them again. I guess I have issues.
