I think UConn fans are going to have to face the tough reality going forward.  Hurley will be a great recruiter, but a frustrating in -game coach.

Are we happy with a 2000s Pittsburgh type of success at UConn?  With Hurley, I see a perennial Top 20 type team, but one that struggles in big games against top opponents.  Lots of NCAA tournament bids in our future, but only a couple of Sweet 16 appearances and no Final Fours.  Lots of 3/4/5 seeded years where we get "upset" in a close game in the second or third round of the tournament.  Certainly a huge step up from the last 6 years, but will that be acceptable at UConn? That is the dilemma I think we will face as UConn fans with Hurley.

Hope I am wrong.  Many people said the same thing about Villanova and Jay Wright many years ago--but he eventually figured it out and turned the corner.  I hope that Hurley does the same as he gets more experience and matures, but right now I am not optimistic
