George Blaney is Alive!

[MadMax1999]

The absolute highlight of the day was Coach Blaney being recognized and the nice hand he got. A class act who this program owes much of its success too.

Looked like he had a cast on his wrist

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Who? Let’s just concentrate on this years team and this years title. We need to stay grounded. Lots of work to do.

 

[storrsroars]

Nice that he got to do it in front of his son too.

Hurley had some bruising too under his left wrist. Wonder how that happened.

Every winter when Calhoun got sick and Blaney filled in he had the thought to use Giffey more and he was usually rewarded by doing so.

Marcus White doesn't see the court without George.

George Blaney is the best. There’s a chance Danny isn’t even in the game of basketball now without him.

Good when you are my age and see a name you think obit!!

I understand that Blaney was critical during the Hurley hiring process!

Thank you for your interest in UConn basketball

Blaney was instrumental in gettin Hurley here as well, nevermind the years of being the calming influence on the bench for 2 chips and a final four team

Nice to see Derek Geter taking in the game too.

Same here. Glad to see he was being honored.

I once heard Blaney described as Robin to Calhoun's Batman.

I thought it was a terrible analogy: Robin got Batman's coffee. At the very least, Blaney was Alfred Pennyworth.

Batman wasn't Batman without Alfred Pennyworth, and in a pinch, Pennyworth could step in as Batman. He was no Robin.

Although it’s (another) huge swing and miss, @WeAreUCONN is basically batting 1.000 with awful awful takes.

It was great to see and celebrate Blakey and everything he’s done for the program for a minute at the game.

I agree about Blakey

Blaney was a great coach in his own right, I remember his Holy Cross teams being nationally ranked for several years during the mid 70’s.

His incredibly sincere stupidity turned out to be the 2023 version of @prankster's "Senior Testiculo".

Lightning rarely strikes twice for the benefit of the same idiot. His moronic posts need to stop.

Worth noting: I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt in thinking his recent posts are motivated with mojo in mind. But my guess is he's just a idiot.

I think his post above was an attempt at snark. Just an attempt.

Hurley had some bruising too under his left wrist. Wonder how that happened.

We can start a rumor that it was during a hallway discussion with refs.

He’s absolutely doing a bit at this point, pretty sure he’s acknowledged it in the past?

Glad to see you adjusted the subject line!

Blaney is in a long line tough Irish SOBs that have contributed to our basketball success.
