Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 2969404, member: 4623"] On the one hand, Hurley came to UConn as a successful mid-major coach, and after 13 games, has proven himself still a successful mid-major coach. In fact, he is an unbeaten 8-0. It is early to make an assessment beyond that. The case that it is early is provided by the experience of Jim Calhoun. Calhoun came to UConn as a successful mid-major coach, and after three seasons was 47-46, one third of the wins against mid-majors. In other words, still a successful mid-major coach. While he started his 4th season 10-3, it was largely against mid-majors and included an 0-2 start in the Big East with a blow-out 93-62 loss at St. John's. The 4th season turned out to be the "Dream Season." Based on Calhoun's start, would you have successfully predicted his career as a high-level D1 coach? [/QUOTE]
