I’m ok with him matching Geno.He implies he'll be coaching college (UConn) for 10 years. And he sounds hungry for #6, Hurley #2, so we got that going for us.
I don't buy this. He didn't become a better coach overnight. Having better players enabled him to display his chops.He out coached guys like Few and Musselman and did a heck of job in rotations and play calling. The criticism was warranted as we saw the growing pains.
Coaches do develop and change or refuse to change over time. Adapting to your roster and changes to the ‘meta’ of the game is what makes the best floor coaches. I feel like we have it on good authority that Hurleys bounces ideas frequently off some of the best in the game, doing this over the course of years has probably made him a more nuanced coach.I don't buy this. He didn't become a better coach overnight. Having better players enabled him to display his chops.
What, no comment on which transfer he may have been talking to??? You people are slipping.
He’d be the first to prop up his staff. Wasn’t the point of this article.No mention of the coaching staff team that he assembled? Hurley did not do this by himself. He gets a lot of credit well deserved but it doesn't get done without all of the other coaches and we hear little about what all they do 24/7.
If you watched the in game adjustments, substitutions, and offensive play sets they were genius. Yes you need players but damn the team blew everyone out the building!!!I don't buy this. He didn't become a better coach overnight. Having better players enabled him to display his chops.
You don't get a #3 offense and #7 defense without being able to coach.He out coached guys like Few and Musselman and did a heck of job in rotations and play calling. The criticism was warranted as we saw the growing pains. He now has the complete package.
Hurley himself in plenty of interviews said he got better and criticism was warranted. Go listen to the Fan interview. Btw I did say he could coach and he got better.You don't get a #3 offense and #7 defense without being able to coach.
