Hurley's Cam shove

[Mike Honcho]

I posted this in the other thread, but it was eerily reminiscent of Shabazz's shove of Boat in the 2014 championship game:



Pretty wild he did that right in front of the official but thankfully it had zero impact on the game.

 

[HooperScooper]

That was really strange. Not sure what Hurley was thinking there.

Can't wait until Shaka Smart gets the same call for fouling one of UConn's players next year.

 

[61cygni]

A man possessed haha

 

[NJHoops]

Sometimes the intrusive thoughts win

I am pretty sure when he watched the replay that he couldnt believe he did it.

 

[Dibbie]

That’s hilarious…he didn’t even know he did it.

 

[HuskyBoi]

Thank god we got Dan Hurley and nobody else does.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

He actually did it once earlier during regular season. Can't remember which game, but a Marquette fan posted it in defense to those opposed to Shaka being the big east defender of the year.

 

[Greedo]

My wife and I died laughing when we saw it. I both couldn’t believe and could completely believe that it happened. It is what it is that’s just Hurley. I love him.

I really loved Cam’s shrug when Hurley asked if he touched him. Like whatever I’d do the same kinds of things if I was in your shoes.

That was such a classic… it will live on in Husky lore forever and ever. Kinda like a Woody Hayes moment except Danny didn’t tackle anyone . . .

What's the rule on that? I couldn't believe he didn't get a technical and just got a warning. Jeff Anderson handled it really well.

I guess its like an out of bounds. Change posession.
I would have thought it was a technical, but maybe that's only if you touch an opposing player ?

I've been watching basketball for a long time and i don't think i've ever seen that call made.
Who doesn't love Danny ?

Hurley so zoned in didnt even realize what he did. Yeah that guy really is a maniac lol!

The Woody Hayes moment was when Dan either trashtalked or just stared down Edey on the court at a timeout.

 

[bellairehusky]

If you look at tv timeout after this, you can see him mouth to Spencer "did I touch you?" Spencer just shrugged his shoulder and then Hurley again proceeds to yell at the ref that he didn't touch Spencer. He certainly had no idea of what he did, lol.

 

[jostar1]

It does look like he pushed Spencer, but it's hard to see because his hands are behind Spencer's back. But if he did push Spencer, why didn't Spencer turn around to see who pushed him?

 

[Travelman6]

He's an excellent coach, the best in college ball right now. I also think he gets caught up in the moment sometimes but oh well. Thankfully in this particular moment it was a 15 point game.

Dan Hurley caused the funniest turnover by pushing his own UConn player mid-play

Dan Hurley is now a two-time, back-to-back, NCAA title-winning head coach with the UConn Huskies. But, we can all admit, sometimes he goes ... a bit over the top. Sometimes that involves opposing players, too. That was on display late in Monday's cha

ftw.usatoday.com

Of course he's passionate but there is this narrative starting that he does it all the time. He doesn't, maybe 3 or 4 times this season. But I think he'll reassess over the summer cause the last thing we want is a turnover up 5 against St John's with something like that.

 

[Travelman6]

Love Hurley but in this case he didn't have a leg to stand on as far as complaining. Right call by the ref.

Best part of that is Cam has his back by saying nobody touched me what are you taking about. they both must of blacked out. lol!

 

[businesslawyer]

People aren’t machines. His over the top level of intensity has brought us back to back championships. The flip side is it caused one turnover this year while he was leading the team to a repeat. Deal with it.

 

[jibsey]

He’s in the moment, and the reason we have 5 and 6 is his passion. I’ll live with it.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

He can fart on the ref for all I care, he just won back to back titles.

 

[Stinger92860]

I was surprised this was “just” a turnover. A lesser infraction versus a T.

No one is really complaining or hating lol, just pointing out what a nutcase he is in jest.

Travelman32 sounded like he was complaining in his thread that was titled something like "One thing I hope Hurley doesn't do anymore" before it got merged with this thread, and that's who businesslawyer was replying to. The merging makes that less clear.
