Hurley and Young OUT today

[Mister P]

Love how everyone on this board refers to him as the "Greek Kid" rather than whatever his name might be.

I believe it’s Nick Pappagiorgio from Yuma.

 

[Chief00]

Remember 2003 with Calhoun out for a bunch and blaney took over and started using Marcus white who Calhoun didn’t use up to that point?

Forgot the year but I remember when Doug Wiggins had his best game under Blaney. Then said he felt more comfortable playing for George, when asked why he played well. Next game Jim was back and Doug I recall got no or few minutes. LOL!

This team could use a Doug Wiggins!

I bet we got covid from that clown on Xavier who was playing through it and the announcers coudlnt stop praising his toughness for playing basketball while extremely contagious and it has been percolating on our team since then

Overall though I think Moore will get the job done and we will be ok

 

[methodology]

Do people actually think Luke is going to be running the show?

It’s going to be Tom Moore. He has head coaching experience and is a long time assistant. Luke is still a greenhorn at this and is still learning/growing

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Well he did get the biggest win of the Hurley era.

Shut up and write your first biography of 50 equal or better coaches; the clock is ticking. Stretch yourself instead of wasting our time.

Outstanding rebounder. Expert rebounder for that short time until he landed on his back and was never the same.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Cease and desist.

 

[NJHusky]

Hate to burst your bubble but if we win tonight, it just means that either Luke or Tom are the true coaches of this team.

Don’t forget Kimani is undefeated

Tom has won about 235 more CBB games than Luke..

 

[temery]

Celebrating someone having Covid is pretty messed up.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Dan Hurley seems like a control freak; I can see him coaching via text to others

That is what I was thinking.

 

[UconnU]

Well, at least less fouls will be called against us.

 

[Punkbo]

None of this is a problem. Tom and Luke will be great. AJ will have a triple-double, Newton will score 20 and not only will Adama and DC play together, they’ll hold hands on the court. And after polishing off a 20-point win, the team will have a group hug. All is well!

Marcus was a rebounding machine for a few games anyway.

Unleash the Greek kid tonight !

I’m curious if this happens how many people will say it was dumb luck and how many will think there is something to it.

 

[sledog]

What's the LV spead now?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Well I guess I’ll say it 2 pages in because no one else has…. Sending best wishes to Coach Dan Hurley & Kimani on a quick recovery

Indeed, get well and stay healthy wishes throughout.

Another thing I haven't yet seen mentioned is that those who have wished to see a different game coach are getting their wish WITHOUT the in-game disruption, energy-shift, extra points from free throws, possible lost possessions, and anything else associated with technical fouls leading to ejection(s).

And nobody had to publicly wish for illness or ejection though the latter has been alluded to in other threads.

For perspective, the WBB team defeated Seton Hall 103-58 last night with only 7 available players, due to two re-injured players. Husky pride.

Tonight's game presents challenges & opportunities. As always, the team must play the hand that has been dealt. One game at a time.

Go Huskies.

And thanks for some of the laughs in this thread. Keep your sense of humor: coaches, players, and fans.
