The scowl
Wow. That also puts his first couple of years into context, where it was clear he was essentially just coaching effort and togetherness after the players (and previous coaching regime) had basically given up. He wasn't even in a position to coach basketball IQ, offensive sets, etc., for a year or two.Wow. For people that can't listen, He said that he had "buyer's remorse" about coming here and specifically mentioned how disappointed he was in the talent, behavior, and academics of the players. Said he called his agent and asked if there was any way he could go back to URI, but wasn't possible because of the buyout. He went to Calhoun's office the day after the introductory press conference and coach told him to "Get your head out of your a**. This is UConn." That's all it took for Dan to get down to business rebuilding this thing. Crazy story.
