Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 4585086, member: 2844"] Why don’t we just cut this crap out. I am extremely happy that UConn is on to the sweet sixteen and hopefully beyond. It’s been said a million times - Dan Hurley isn’t going anywhere. He never was on a hot seat, it’s all hyperbole that gets thrown by some when they are upset after losses. It’s no different when many on the chat start saying things about Hawk - a 19 yo with unlimited potential- he stinks, NBA lol, over rated, he shouldn’t start, etc. If you focus at all on him on the offensive end he is running looking for space to receive the ball, without a teammate setting interference for him and when open Newton or AJ are looking elsewhere. Dan Hurley has finally won some NCAA games at UConn and if that puts him in Naismith then I am glad you have that in your heart. I am glad he has gotten the monkey off his back as I am sure he is also. It will take a significant amount of pressure off of him and he can refocus on doing the things that will make the current team stronger as they proceed in the tournament. I am sure that it is a great relief to him and the staff. Now he can perhaps draw up some schemes that will free up Hawk on the outside and give AS some more room on the inside at the start of the games. That’s when the opponents are fresh. Dan Hurley, the team and the program advanced to the next step. Something that all 3 needed. I am not convinced that it was all due to Dan Hurley but some portion of the credit he certainly deserves. I am not a huge Dan Hurley fan nor am I convinced he was/is the best option out there at the time. However, as long as the team produces at the level expected from this great program, he can sit behind that desk and you get no argument from me about his job security. [/QUOTE]
