How long till we hear about hurley

[uconnphil2016]

My buddy messaged me saying Calhoun is at Mohegan right now. Wonder if they're having a meeting there with Hurley since it's closer to RI?

Where can I find this info what is the site u found it on?

The Coaching Carousel - Page 46 - URI Basketball Forum @ KeaneyBlue.com

I like to go over there for a good laugh.

How much would it cost us to get your buddy to tail him?

Nvm hes there for HS state championship game

 

[HuskyHawk]

Not sure I care anymore. Just want a decision so we can sort out the roster, and begin building excitement for next year. There are several guys I’d be ok with.

He’s there to grab a snack at Geno’s food court.

Here's the last 4 years:

NIT: knocked out in first round
NCAA Tourney: 1 win
No Postseason
No Postseason

Collectively, that sucks. Period. And if you were being objective you would agree. Fortunately, a good coach can get the program relevant again within 2 to 3 years.

The last 2 suck the other are fine after a national championship which you would never bother mentioning. But stay with what fits your agenda it’s cute.

Getting knocked out of the NIT in the first round isn't fine for a program of UConn's caliber and neither is 1 total postseason win in 4 seasons. Even you should realize that.

He 1,000% is content with both his money and the program there and *really, really, really* believes he can make it a national power. Being the hot shot isn't his thing.

If that's the case, why would he even entertain the idea? What are his motivations?

 

[intlzncster]

Stop with his wife as an obstacle. If we double his salary she won’t be an obstacle.

She's done it before though. They were driving to a new job with Pitt, and she had him turn the car around and go back to Jersey. Didn't want to leave her mom alone.

Yes, I understand the money and situation were different, but the moving up in the world was the same thing.

 

[Huskybass]

We were ranked 20 preseason, which projects as a 5-6 seed.
We were a 9 should've been higher but then beat the 8 anyway.
Underachieve? Slightly. Nowhere near the hysterics you and bass throw at it though.

And the other 3 seasons with no postseason wins, what about those?

The last 2 seasons were bad. Boats senior year was kinda expected

 

[intlzncster]

Now this is getting ridiculous. A PC fan on the URI board sharing what a source told him about UCONN interviewing someone within the past 72hrs?! Who cares? It's either false or if true, it's a good thing. It means we have a backup plan or are considering other candidates.

If true, I'm glad. We better be kicking tires until there' a signature on the dotted line.

I heard the wife is a little apprehensive, but there's *legit* rumors Hurley won't leave URI unless it's like something monumental. He 1,000% is content with both his money and the program there and *really, really, really* believes he can make it a national power. Being the hot shot isn't his thing.

Which honest to god - that's a good thing. It's weirdly relieving for me in a lot of ways. If he doesn't come here and stays there, then god bless the guy. Wish there were more dudes like him in college hoops. A guy like him built us, I couldn't ever comprehend being angry and upset if he decided to stay there and shove it up everyone's A to see if it could be done.

And if he comes here, we're getting a guy who wants to be *here*.

One of the things that is attractive about the UConn job is that it isn't a transitional job. There are relatively few programs for which you'd leave UConn. The facilities are top notch, in a good recruiting ground, for a top twenty public with a great tradition and a rapid fanbase, if you are successful. Add in a big raise and it is hard to walk away from the opportunity.

He also got hurt at the start of the AAC Championship game.

Did Jim Calhoun ever go to an NIT

NIT: knocked out in first round
NCAA Tourney: 1 win
No Postseason

Did you say that about Jim Calhoun’s NIT visits after great year? Please you’re just ridiculous it’s simple.
