Ah okay, didn’t know about this so it makes sense. I just don’t want anything to happen to him. People are fudging crazy these days.

Sorry just got out of a colonoscopy and am a little loopy.

That’s funny, so did I , it went well I hope.

Frankly, he should ignore the asses. I know the “Jersey” rough edges thing. They used to say “names will never hurt me” , which is not always true but in this case it really is. Inviting trouble with a bunch of probably drunken idiots. Not that big a deal, but being the adult in the room is ok too.
 
His is not a job that invites or demands decorum. Samsons grin said it all. “He’s our Coach and he’s got our back.”

How do you think the kids would feel if he turned the other cheek while telling them to be junkyard dogs? How do you think his wife would feel if he didn’t address her treatment? As an Exit 9 guy, find his behavior understandable and tolerable.

You didn’t see him having problems after Marquette game did you?
 
I gotta say that going a bit extra like this is part of what makes Danny what he is. he is a fierce competitor and he doesn't hold back.

As long as thing don't ever get out of hand (physical) I don't mind the occasional exchanges. If anything, it adds to rivalries and drives entertainment. These personalities that we have in the league add to the Big East as whole.

Again, as long as things don't get violent I'm goood!

I see it both ways, he's only encouraging them or other opponents fans to say stuff because they know he'll act on it. I dont really have a problem with him reacting that way, i think a lot of us would but its like internet trolls, they are looking for a response, if you dont respond or pay them any attention, their power goes away.

I bet this is a fan base Cam could trash talk.

He’s a 50 something millionaire spectator sports coach in places where beer is sold. It’s an unfortunate part of the territory. He should ignore it. If it’s a problem he can tell the security people. People feel such a need to be confrontational where ignoring makes way more sense. Last thing UConn needs is a coach fighting with a fan.
 
In many cases I would agree that Dan Hurley should have ignored it but this case is a bit different. Their fan's (especially when it comes to us) are absolute a**wipes (a saw a social media clip yesterday of a 60+ year old yelling at every UConn fan around after the game) and have crossed the line more than once with his family.

Gutter of a state, gutter of a fan base.

I will say, their fans have much more fight than their players.

Glad we sent them to the NIT.

It is probably personal with him. During a podcast at last year's Final Four, his wife said that she would never go back to Providence because Providence fans were spitting at her and throwing beer. She said something to the effect that if you were a Uconn fan and an balloon knot, "go up the road to Providence."





About 5 1/2 minutes in.

Calhoun didn't take Pat to Providence games either
 
I love the "Don't take chit attitude". .He is not a librarian, he is a basketball coach who has to hear vulgarities about his wife.
Is there anything lower than a Providence men's basketball fan? Don't think so.

Haha…yeah well I need to stay up to date on all things Huskies at all times!

Medium polyp removed but fine otherwise. It’s true that the worst part of it is the prior day/night prep. I was watching Saved By The Bell reruns at 1:30am drinking my laxative Gatorade last night.

I'm sorry man, that sounds terrible. I hope I never have to watch Saved by the Bell ever again.

I get he was a URI coach as well as the Andrea stuff but not a fan. Walk out and smile and wink. Nothing else needed you’re the champ.

Ironic how some of these God Loving Private Religous Institues of Higher Learning that populate the Big East have such vile fanbases.

Danny is fine to treat the friar fans like the wild beasts they act like.
 
Resumes aside, look at how he handles himself vs the guy down in Durham, especially this past weekend. Once the new car shine wears off at Dook and Hurley wins his 2nd, Cooper Flaggs of the world going to Durham over Storrs will become few and far in between.

Coaches put up with so much crap and they take it. The fans hate when the coaches talk back, especially when the fans are getting their asses whooped.

The PC fans are vile human beings. Right along side Cuse

I don't care but it's not good. Any behavior that makes it more likely that stupid words will elevate into crowd violence is not a good choice.
 
It's natural for Jersey folk to have contempto for providence

"what dose sicko forks in rhode island?"

Also this is completely correct. After the Creighton incident it’s less surprising the Providence fan would egg him on for minutes on end. He’s inviting this behavior by acknowledging it, he shouldn’t be playing into a villain role as a 50 year old man. It’s a bad example for the players too.
