@BFieldHusky is as pro-Hurley as it gets here. Not sure if this is post directed at him (my bad if it is not), but he is the last person to call out for the absurd overreactions to any loss on this forum.
No, one chucklehead did, and with very few exceptions the Yard was united vehemently against that premise.
???Aren’t they 7-3 in their last 10 including beating Villanova (and us one game before that)?
They are 0-3 in their last three.
Not directed at anyone in particular, it was a generalization of the fan base as a whole. Even within this post someone replied to me saying “well maybe in the games we won we made the right adjustments” which literally could be read as “in the games we lost we didn’t adjust correctly” which would be a direct reflection of the coaching. The way I see it is, we’ve won the games we were supposed to win (at full strength) and have literally had all close games. Every, every last uconn team had at least one head scratching loss and other games where the outcome was known ten minutes in. Hurley has instilled in these kids a work ethic that the game isn’t over until it’s over and they have bought in. But they’re still kids and sometimes the strategy and buying in just isn’t enough, and that shouldn’t be the coach’s fault everytime there’s a loss.
Didn’t they win their last game???
My bad. I was thinking Seton Hall.
I think it's totally splicable. Hurley doesn't like to bury guys, especially his first recruit I would imagine. He has good size for the job and he was giving him a chance. He couldn't keep the minutes so Hurley moved on. That's the kind of stuff you do to keep a team together. Pays off in the long and short term. Just last year there were multiple parties insisting that Hurley was a fail because he didn't run Whaley off the team.
You can only reasonably play the games you are cleared for - no penalties for the teams having Covid and having to pause. We are fortunate to have any season.
I was half expecting a thread from that chucklehead yesterday along the lines of “Willard was wearing a shirt and tie and our coach just wears a pullover? Is this who we want representing our program?”
I don't think Coach Hurley will get it for the same reason JB wasn't pre-season 1st team All-Big East. There seems to be either a lack of familiarity or an "old boys" attitude toward us in our first year back.
It’s possible that he has good players, teaches well, but doesn’t manage games well. He is a mediocre in-game strategist seemingly getting better just like his players.
Not surprising. There are about 500 people that post pretty regularly on here. You know what they say, opinions are like a---holes, everyone has one. So of course you're going to have divergent opinions on any subject on here.
This is true. And I don't think Willard or Cooley are voting for Hurley anytime soon.
