During our 6 losses in an 8 game stretch in January I posted, in the heat of the moment after a loss, that Hurley wasn't the guy to be able to get us back to the top of the peak. I was embarrassed and ashamed shortly after posting it, but not as embarrassed and ashamed as when someone here called me out for it after we won it all. I deserved to wear it so I'm not complaining.
That was an awful stretch for a team with that much talent
The previous extreme position of UConn is a competitive NBA team before the reality of the Big East set in or the converse .
Hurley is a Bum who should be hired during the bad stretch are positions that will always come back to bite you .
Being disappointed in our Big East performance and pointing to the facts that up until this year are post season performances were horrible are Legitimate criticisms . Those kind of statements simply being true should never bother you .
I knew we had weaknesses that could be exploited and we would probably lose 3-4 Big East games going in but 2-3 additional losses were total disappointments
The problems became apparent in the crazy wins against Georgetown and a fair Villanova team . Thankfully I watched that game on the flight home and out of respect for my fellow passengers ( TSA punishment) my audible coaching was contained including my extensive vocabulary of expletives. This mild mannered old man disguised as a rstional basketball fan really becomes a raving lunatic at game time .
Seriously if you weren’t critical of our Big East play . Then you failed to grasp that we had two of the best 5 ‘s in the country , who has that luxury . A lottery pick at the Three . A stud redshirt freshman at the 4 . A generational athlete and defensive legend in Jackson plus , transfers that included an all AAC guard plus a bench capable of scoring points in bunches , who when they put it together were the best team in the country , than you’re just a pimp. I like to think our constructive criticism helped that team to win a NC .
