Hurley Presser

Believe or not some are. I’ve seen randos on Twitter pearl clutching when Dan called the team soft a few games back. Society has become soft in general.

If they are then it's miniscule in comparison to the national conversation about his behavior towards the refs so I'm not even sure why "tough coaching" or the relationship with his players was mentioned. The conversation is not about Hurley berating players during games or yoking them up like Bobby Knight, which he doesn't do.

Jay Williams, Jersey native, and Seth Greenberg who has a personal relationship with Hurley.

Basically guys who are friends with Hurley so who are defending him. It’s clear he has a lot of friends in the media. I’m happy Jay and Rece talked about how competitiveness isn’t an excuse for bad behavior.

There are plenty of coaches who are competitive who don’t act and belittle people that way.

Anything that's anti Hurley you're gonna agree with, so not suprised in the least. Also Hurley doesn't cheat like Jim Harbaugh does.

So call out every coach. Or else it seems it’s just agenda driven. Mr. Life Long. They did the same thing to Jim Calhoun in regards to his behavior with the media. I hope Hurley never changes.

Calhoun dishing it back to the media who asks him dumb questions isn’t the same as Hurley’s consistent berating and belittling of officials doing their job.

There’s a way to be competitive and compassionate without being disrespectful and plenty of coaches don’t cross that line. Are there many clips of other coaches calling refs b words, jokes, and clowns as consistently as Hurley does?

I’m not going to get in a back and forth on Harbaugh so I’ll just say this.

If you think a coach who went undefeated after losing his so called “cheat code” while also dealing with suspensions legitimately cheated then you are as dumb as your posts say you are.

15-0 without Stallions. Almost like it had nothing to do with the team’s success.

Haha Ohio State won the national championship.
 
No one is going to feel sorry for Hurley or UConn. The haters are out there and Hurley tries to deflect from his players. Wouldn’t make a big deal out of this but the media is.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that a huge portion of Ohio State’s fanbase wanted Ryan Day fired about a month and a half before they won the title lol. And some say UConn’s fanbase is off it’s rocker.

Them people were so upset he had to hire security for his family. Literally coaching for his life during the CFP.

Imagine being happy for Ohio State winning a title. Rooting for them is practically like rooting for Iran lol.

Literally watched the Pelicans vs Jazz instead of watching that championship.

I’m convinced you were not around for any part of the Calhoun era.

I thought that Scott did a pretty good impression of Dan. My take is that this was some valid criticism from guys that seem to like Dan. Dan has some room for improvement without having to change completely to something fake. I have been around for a long time and saw Calhoun in all his glory as well.

They've been on this all season, enough already. You would think Hurley assaulted a small child on the court with the way they keep talking about him. This whole sanctity of sports thing is way more annoying than any behavior on the sideline. This is sports, it's not church. Coaches yell at refs, they're all big boys and can handle it.
 
If the refs don't want to be yelled at by Dan Hurley maybe they should stop blowing so many calls. And if that doesn't work they can go home and cry about their unfair treatment by Dan Hurley into their very large paychecks

This is the stuff Calhoun got ejected for.

UConn's Calhoun scolded for remarks about refs

UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun was publicly reprimanded by the Big East on Friday for comments he made about the officiating in UConn's win over Northeastern a day earlier.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Didn’t call the officials out of name. And the things Calhoun got Ts for are laughable compared to what Hurley gets away with. Meanwhile we’ve seen Hurley call a ref the b word with no consequence.

I suggest before commenting you get some facts and then come back and see me. ;)

Also the fact that he got scolded by the Big East for his comments while Hurley whines almost every postgame about officials is also hilarious and goes to show how much the conference actually lets him skate with his actions.

I mean just look at what he got reprimanded for in comparison to what Hurley says today lol

UConn's Calhoun sounds off on ref after getting tossed from game

Jim Calhoun said he received his second technical foul (and subsequent ejection) Thursday in the UConn men’s basketball team’s 69-60 win over Northeastern for stepping outside the coaching box.

“If you watched that game, I wasn’t on the officials that much at all the entire evening, but when you have inexperienced people, and I said to him, the problem is you’ve been reading that bulletin too much,” said Calhoun, who hadn’t been ejected since Feb. 9, 2002, in an overtime loss at St. John’s.

“If you hit a guy for his foot being out of the box, you’re a good official all of a sudden,” he said. “It was the thing that most of us (coaches) feared ... It hasn’t affected me, I don’t think, until this particular game.”

“If it continues, no question, I’m going to have to make adjustments, I don’t want to be giving points for our team.” Calhoun said. “But I don’t think I’m going to get two more technicals this year for laughing.

“Maybe crying,” he added with a laugh.

Calhoun said afterward that while another referee apparently interpreted the laughter as ridiculing Rutecki's foul call, he could have been laughing over anything and added, "Maybe I had gas."

Classic Calhoun. Lol

I know exactly who is doing it, thankfully he blocked me.

Chris Beard strangling his fiancee was out of the news cycle faster than this
