Hurley - “Shut Up”

I love the emotion. He really cares about his team and leaves his entire heart on the floor. The first 5 minutes where we came out firing were a direct result of his energy and enthusiasm. How can anyone be against that kind of passion? If you are UConn fan you love to see someone care about your program with all their heart and soul.

I hope he never stops and if it embarrasses you then you need to stop worrying about his “image” and worry more about having someone who has passion for your favorite team. Because no one else will bring more determination than him.
 
Some of you are nuts.

A coach can show passion and motivate his team. I have absolutely no beef with that. But a coach should never engage players from the other team. And he damn sure should not use profanity toward another teams players or bench. The opposing coach, sure. Never the opposing players at the college level.

If you don't see that, I don't know what to say.

Agreed. I hope Benedict straightens him out.

There are 200 things Hurley has impressed me with. Just gotta dial in this one

If it were truly that bad, Hamilton would’ve brought it up during his postgame presser. As far as I know, he didn’t, so...
 
I can't knock Hurley and don't want him to temper his passion but no he shouldn't engage opposing team bench as a rule of thumb....I'm guessing he will check that himself going forward.

You are quick to blame Hurley. If FSU player/coach felt that Hurley was out of line, there would have been a confrontation during the hand shakes. My guess was the player was out of line
 
He was yelling at the injured player, who then pointed to the scoreboard. During handshake line, they hugged it out.

Regarding Hurley, I was rooting for Nate Oats, but he shouldn't be judged after 10 games. Although he does appear to be all emotion, not much of an X and O guy
 
Are we even 100% sure that the shut up was directed at a player? Or just speculating?

I didht see it so I’ll have to check it on the DVR later when I’m home.

I’m 100% on the Hurley train. His passion and enthusiasm for the team helpec to keep this from being a 30+ point blowout.

Team wants to run through walls for him.

Bigs weren’t the reason they lost today.

As an FYI on the “shut up” by Hurley was to Cofer (almost a Husky) it looked like. No biggie on either of them.

I‘m doubtful that a guy who grew up in the gym with Bob Hurley Sr. doesn’t have a decent Xs and Os background. At this point, it seems like the players just aren’t yet equipped to effectively run the half-court offense against high-major competition. Give him a little more time with these guys and the kids he brings in for next year.
 
Dan Hurley is as close to Jim Calhoun as we could possibly get. If you don’t see that, you are too young to understand what it means. This guy is a maniac in the best way possible and our fan base is going to love him so much for it that he’s going to be here for 20-30 years. This is our coach, there is no place he’d be a better fit. Literally, nowhere. We are the the quintessential, northeastern program with the history and toughness that is the Hurley family tradition. This is a big deal for him and us. Get adjusted to him, he isn’t going anywhere for a long time. The fire burns hot with this dude.

What???
 
He did better than my own 12 year old son. On the sequence just before Adams got body checked where it was Mann (?) got away with a clear travel leading to an lay-up followed by Vital (?) basically being called for a travel on an identical move, he may have dropped a f-bomb. I gave him a T myself and told him if he does that again, I'm telling Mom.

I don't need the other teams coach to tell me my coach saying to a kid is a out of pocket. Not to mention, maybe the other coach missed it because he was busy coaching.

But who else should I blame for that behavior? Hurley is doing several things very well. Why spoil with crap like this?
 
I’m not saying it wudda mattered heavily - esp the Iowa game but is it just me or has there been a ton of bad calls this year against Uconn? Or maybe it’s thier pace- I’m not being a homer but it just seems crazy with bad calls against us this year. Do the refs hate hurley? Cant figure it out. This is the 3-4th big game in a row like this. Not blaming refs , but seems strange

This thread is a disaster.

Dan is clearly Bob's son. He looked exactly like Bob Hurley with this one.
 
Was Jalen fouled? At the game it looked like he got pounded in the body, and that's a foul even if the block is clean. But we don't have the benefit of a replay at the game
 
Honestly if an FSU player was mouthing off disrespectfully towards our players I have no problem with Hurley telling the kid to shut up. The kid is at least 18 years old. He should know to have more class than that. He obviously didn’t so Hurley told him to shut his trap.

Does that make Hurley classless? I don’t think so. He sees himself as an authority on that court and authority has the right to set boundaries when the line is crossed.

It’s a dominance thing and I’m okay with our head coach being assertive on the court. Our players see that and will take on those traits.
