He got a T for the "best coach" comment, only it came during the Big East Tourney. Nathan Farrell is a pretty good ref and puts up with a lot but seemed to have a short fuse with Hurley in the BET game against Villanova. I'm pretty sure Farrell is the one that Hurley made the "best coach" comment to.

Sounds like a yes. You think by virtue of watching Calhoun you know better about coaching than Hurley.
Good to know where we stand
No, that's not even close to what self control means.

That’s one way to spin it, sure. If you want to steer it away from just analyzing how one of the best developers ever in college basketball did things.

Thousands of victims while Harbaugh chose to protect the crown and offered up zero support or concern for the thousands of victims.You’re reaching. He said what his experience was.
The guy who first reported about these allegations even said nobody else knew at that time.
Jim Harbaugh: Former Michigan physician accused of sexual assault was our family doctor
Jim Harbaugh says he \www.freep.com
It shouldn't be at all difficult to say the doctor obviously victimized so many young people. Instead Harbaugh made it about himself and said the doctor didn't victimize me or my family. He offered up nothing to the victims, out of sight out of mind. He made it about himself again while talking about his former coach. He should have said I thought my former coach always stood up for what was right but he didn't do nearly enough when he was made aware of the crimes committed by the doctor. This inaction led to many more young victims. Any decent person would have done these things and made it about the victims and the inaction by the people in power. Harbaugh didn't do any of it.
I don’t disagree, I’m just not enough of a purist to know if he is right that the refs blew a call. Was Wondering what the more informed think.
In Maui, The over the back on Liam then the next night no over the back on the opponent seemed like egregious calls to me.
It seems like we never get a call at a key momemt…and typically key calls go against us when they really matter

Is it going to stick to it this time or is he trying to buy some time and hope it fades away
I am sure the NCAA and the Officials/Refs are not as forgiving as UConn Nation.

You think you know best about how to make college basketball players improve?
That's your take?
You're better at coaching -- which is what we're talking about -- than Dan Hurley?
That's your point here, yes?
You ask some insane questions and this argument sounds like it came from my 10 yo grandson
I've coached for almost 30 years up to the college age level and I acted like Hurley the first few years until a mentor sat me down and said my career would be very short if I kept it up. I then learned a lot from Joe Morrone and Bob Dirkranian at soccer clinics on how to interact with officials.
I think I have a better feel for this aspect of coaching than Dan Hurley and so does 99.9% of all college basketball coaches
He continues with this garbage and he will either destroy his career or the program. Nobody wants to see either, including me.
Wake up and realize that Dan Hurley has some serious anger management, maturity or insecurity issues.
Did you know at a very recent game one official politely asked Dan Hurley to not point his fingers at one particular working that game - not only did Dan Hurley smirk at the ref asking but continued to do the pointing.
Nobody is claiming he is a terrible person or a bad coach, for from it my eyes, but he has a flaw, and it has potentially bad ramifications on the program he loves and the kids he coaches. Time to coach from the bench rather than be the show on the bench as my mentor (God rest his soul) would say.

You just dont get it
Keep those rose colored glasses on
So fans just decided one day out of the blue moon to berate him and his family??
Who are you guys, anyway???
I will bet you my house that none of the coaches you cite shouted out "you are an f* clown" to any official. You don't call officials names - you dont call opposing coaches names in public - its a silent creed. But he wins 2 championships and he can do what he wants in your eyes.
You are so wrong and never decide to coach at any level with an attitude and outlook like you display here.
IGNORE
BTW Einstein -those infractions you talk about are civil ones and handled by the legal and police - the things that Hurley does is handled by the NCAA and they can invoke suspensions and deny programs the ability to play in the post season - thats where I'm coming from.
Even a genius like yourself should be able to distinguish the differences.

Do you watch college basketball, or sports in general??
Anyway,
2015 University of Louisville basketball sex scandal - Wikipedia
Tom Izzo's abuse of Aaron Henry was the act of a bully and a coward
The Hall of Fame coach has Michigan State back in the Final Four, but his unhinged humiliation of his own player was a cowardly act with familiar echoes
[Izzo: 'Comfortable' with handling of allegations
“Beard was arrested Dec. 12 after Trew called 911 and told officers Beard strangled, bit and hit her during a confrontation in his home.”
Is there an unwritten rule about accepting the above? Is this what you prefer? Weird take. Have a good night
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.

Are you sure? Comments by some of the posters told me he’s an absolute miserable human being
Haha right Hurley is just a monster. Anyone who says Hurley is miserable, they are really the miserable person in reality.

The refs are out to get Hurley yet he is 92-22 over the last 3 seasons, 13-1 in his last 14 tourney appearances with back to back national titles. Let them keep trying if those are the results. The early tourney exit wasnt the refs but just a team whos parts didnt match well with what Dan Hurley wants to do. We`ll be back in the hunt for #7 next season i have no doubt.
he may be right sometimes, until he actually says what he's thinking.
This idea that a coach has to work the refs in order to get a fair shake is the dumbest damn thing that's ever been repeated posted on the boneyard.

I don’t think a coach should have to work the refs to get fair reffing decisions, but conversely I don’t think fair reffing decisions should be based on whether or not the refs think a coach is a cool guy.
If so many people are asserting that Hurley’s attitude is the reason that his teams don’t get a good whistle, doesn’t that indicate an issue with officiating? Surely he wouldn’t be the only coach in the country in that boat.
I agree, but can you think of a key time in a game where we got the benefit of the whistle instead of it going against us?

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.

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
you are making my point for me.

Yes, this season against Villanova during our big comeback. Hurley yelled at the refs going into a timeout and then immediately following that the refs called something like 6 fouls against Nova in a short stretch which started our run to win the game
Edit: I think I'm confusing the 2 Nova games. Something like that did happen earlier in the year but I think it was the BET game where Hurley got a tech and then we went on a huge run
