Hurley Article from CT Insider

Some of these comments are deplorable. Calling Hurley "a miserable human being" goes well beyond the line. Its the kind of personal attack you can expect from an internet alpha.....a dude my generation thirty years ago would call a P____. Big boy when it comes to saying things online, but not much else. Just make your point that you do not like Hurley's antics and move on. That's ok. Hurley is not everybody's coup of tea. Just stay away from personal assassinations. It is a small minded thing to do.

You can win titles without the antics. Instead of talking about the valiant team effort to defend their back to back titles against Florida all they’re talking about is Dan Hurley outburst. It’s completely unnecessary. And needlessly portrays UConn in a bad light. JMHO

it's sickening to me to read Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. and see threads about UConn and Hurley. Outside of UConn fans he seems to be universally hated.

I'm sure a big part of this is sour grapes by fans of teams that UConn has beat, and a whole bunch of self loathing fans because their own team sucks.

But uconn kinda needs to be liked, even if it's only for merchandising revenue and TV viewership.

I can sympathize with the guy, I have rarely had a thought I didn't share. but as a coach, no team was better behaved than the ones I coached, and a few people had a problem with me because my teams kick their ass repeatedly.

The only exception is a coach from a neighboring town who by chance went to UConn. He kind of beat my teams 16 years in a row in the finals. Great coach, and great guy.
 
I don't understand why only Hurley gets this press. Doesn't Florida's coach hit his wife?
 
Many of the things that people complain about are the reasons that Dan Hurley is so successful. His passion. His intensity. His myopic focus. His refusal to suffer fools gladly. His anger. His histrionics. His explosive personality. His quirks and superstitions. Let Hurley be Hurley. You don't get to pick the parts of Hurley you like and throw the other parts away. You take the whole thing or nothing. Relax and enjoy the roller coaster. Go to the ceremony in Springfield when he is put in the Hall of Fame.

We had a coach with almost no sideline passion. A coach that almost never complained about the refs. His name was Kevin Ollie.

UConn does NOT have to be liked. UConn has to be feared and respected. UConn has to pile up wins. UConn has to produce great players and high draft picks. UConn has to support Danny Hurley.

Hurley also doesn't cheat and throw any staffer under the bus like Harbaugh did with Connor Stallions to try weasel himself out of the sanctions.

You are very ill informed if you think doing in person scouting is this crazy cheating scandal.

It gave Michigan such a big advantage that after it was found out they went undefeated, won a NC, and has beaten OSU twice since. Almost like that really didn’t matter.

So why did Harbaugh get suspended then.

Because the NCAA was out to get him after his push for revenue sharing for players. Something he’s talked about since 2020.

If you watch the Sign Stealing doc, it’s something everyone does too.

Playing the victim, I watched sign stealer I know everyone does it and I don't like how Harbaugh threw Stallions under the bus.

Losing to Memphis in overtime possibly because of his technical foul most definitely affected the final seeding for the NCAAT ( that plus the best coach in America not being able to teach his team any inbounds plays ) resulting in the horrendous loss to Seton Hall. We wouldn’t have played Florida in the second round. He’s a great coach without question but he has some major flaws that need to be addressed. Maturity comes to mind.

I'm tired of this subject but at least Dom Amore gets it.

What if he doesn’t change? He wins, plays by the rules, stays out of trouble away from the arena, and he’s still here. UConn can live with the histrionics, one would think.

Dom Amore’s Sunday Read: In today’s world, best to just let UConn’s Dan Hurley be Dan Hurley

Dan Hurley should tone it down, or live with perceptions-gone-viral; SCSU’s Keith Ridley an intriguing QB prospect, more in the Sunday Read.

Is he usually right about his complaints with refs?

Actually no. This years team fouled more than any other team I can ever remember. Obviously they didn’t get every call right but let’s be honest, mostly they did. We fouled like crazy. It wasn’t the refs imagination.
