Hurley Suspension?

[husky429]

I've watched the clip a bunch of times and honestly, no I do not see the contact. Everyone else sees it so maybe I'm just blind but I see him get in his face but that's it

He clearly chest bumps the ref. Is it a violent action? No of course not. But by the book it's a suspension.

 

[Scoe]

Did you pass math?

They shot 36% overall. 3-24 from three (13%) and 18-35 (51%) from two. All the more reason to take more 2s.

It’s like we took lessons from last years Celtics keep jacking jacking and jacking 3’s because the analytics tell you to, which doomed the Celtics against the Knicks and I’m a Knicks fan saying this.

 

[LIUCHusky]

We may be better off without him with what he allowed to transpire today

Are you serious?

 

[Chief00]

Crap conference with a chip on its shoulder over the only brand that brings value. It’s crazy how they allow hands all over us and refs have a thumb on the scales egging on an upset. You won’t see this in the NCAAs.

So true !

 

[husky429]

It's absolutely nuts the people saying this team isn't constructed well. That's just hogwash. We've throttled SJU, took Arizona to the end missing two starters, etc.

The team has ALL the potential in the world. What's happening is between the ears and in the locker room.

 

[rrskyjf]

He should be suspended and fined, for just being a complete ass and mental case

 

[Leebo]

The players wanted to get the ball to lots of places today, but all they had in their bag was weak telegraphed passes.

 

[Scoe]

I do think Hurley could use a game off for his own good, be away from the media until Friday, get the team ready chill at the hotel on Thursday, give Kimani an opportunity and perhaps it will give us a spark. Sometimes I felt Calhoun needed a game off when we looked sluggish and the team was re-energized with Blaney.

 

[Mazhude]

I do not know what to expect from this team...

 

[cwh20]

Well, Hurley also didn’t touch Cam Spencer while the ball was in play. I think he’s out next game. I agree you don’t stop taking threes but maybe you should drive more and get it going that way for a spell. Besides Reed, Reibe has nice touch but they don’t go to him often. The Marquette deflection stat was definitely a thing today. They came ready to play. A BE championship and a NCAA 1 seed on the line and that’s the effort the Huskies put out there? Yikes. Thankfully this wasn’t the BE tourney. A one game and done at MSG is not an option.

 

[superjohn]

So under this logic, if a 38-45% 3pt shooter starts the night off 0-2, they should just stop shooting the rest of the night since they are at 0%. Call it a night and hope for a better start the next game.

Sheesh.

The team has three goals this year. Winning the Big East, winning the Big East tournament, and winning a national championship. A team of that caliber shouldn't be totally dependent on the three where they live and die by it.

Hurley just spent two postgame press conferences basically saying Reed's play can still carry the team to their three goals and he needs to be a beast. Well he was a beast today when we were feeding him the first 21 minutes of the game. I didn't see anything designed for him after that.

Why did the play of this team peak in late November/early December? Why have we only really seen that again in one game against St. John's? Why have we played our two worst games of the season in late February/early March?

The problem is that it’s missing that critical piece. This team doesn’t seem to have a KEA, Shabazz, Kemba, or newton. A guy that when the team isn’t playing well says get on my back and follow me.

 

[FearThePups]

Last I checked, Hurley can’t play the game just coach it. Today was more on the players than the coach. Just stop w this nonsense.

You are so very right. I and others have pointed out that this year”s team does not have the fire in the belly for a full 40 minutes. We are lacking a Cam, Andre, Khalid or fill in the blank. Why couldn’t they play like the St John’s game instead of sleep walking through most of the season.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Hurley claiming no contact. We will need the replay.

The play is under review…

 

[storrsroars]

Sheesh.

Or you could be Newton, go 0-10, tell yourself it's not your night, and figure out how else you can help the team win.

 

[HuskyFich]

If Hurley’s going to bump the refs, at least get your money’s worth.

Shame.

 

[FearThePups]

I think he should be more worried about watching a slow motion train wreck play out right in front of him that he has the power to stop but instead did nothing about it.

 

[UCFan1513]

Don’t you have a Duke game to go watch?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Get the damn ball to Tarris Reed. If he doesn't have things designed to get the ball to him in the paint and the players can't execute getting him the ball in the paint it's on the coach. If you jack up dumb shots instead of getting it to him in the paint you sit.

I’m genuinely perplexed how people don’t understand this. Tarris had 8 points in the blink of an eye and we just stopped feeding him. That is coaching.

Sheesh.

What about when they’re 0-7…. How about stopping at that point?? At what point do you figure out you don’t have it tonight and change up the plan. The ball should have went into Tarris every single possession but no we jack up 30+ 3s against a team that has absolutely no inside presence whatsoever. Complete madness.

 

[FightOnCT]

You don’t stop taking open threes, but you definitely should be exploring your options, like taking a mid range jumper or not ignoring your center who was abusing his defenders

 

[superjohn]

I’m genuinely perplexed how people don’t understand this. Tarris had 8 points in the blink of an eye and we just stopped feeding him. That is coaching.

I find it infuriating. He should touch the ball every possession in the post. We should be running the entire offense through Tarris and Silas.

We get Hurley and the fanbase saying this nonsense that Tarris checks in and out of the games all the time and he needs to be a beast when we simply don't run things through him. Tarris takes 9.9 shots per game and Silas takes 7.4 shots per game, it doesn't make sense.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

If the Ref couldn't see contact on Silas then how can they call contact on Hurley?

 

[willie99]

I watched the last 4 minutes of the game. The first thing I saw was a foul called on Reed on a drive and a heeve. Redicous call

As for the last call, no call, they never showed a replay. Kinda odd they didn't replay such a huge moment, but they didn't. Based on that, I don’t think anyone can have a strong opinion. I know this, it was at least as bad, probably worse, then the aforementioned call on Reed


PS: There is only one ref in the conference worse than John Gaffney, that's James Breeding

Duck Gaffney
