Is Hurley Really The Answer?

[Stainmaster]

How can you judge how much I know about basketball from like two sentences I wrote? Post your opinions about uconn basketball and stop personally belittling others.

Stop posting stupid things and people will stop calling you stupid

if you think the things one posts are stupid keep it to yourself. Just because you think something is stupid doesn't mean someone else thinks it's stupid.

Those 2 sentences were so astoundingly absurd that it told me all that I needed to know.

Just keep Ollie , no need to play Russian Roulette ...

@Huskyfan4evr, he will always be worst than KO. He never ever win a National Championship. Hurley worshippers, stop hedging your bets now.

The Ollie friends and family fan club are some of the worst posters on the internet. You couldn't make it any more obvious if you tried

The guy isn't even our coach yet and people are complaining. It wasn't fair to complain about Ollie after six years but it's not even year one yet and the Ollie pollyanas already want Hurley gone. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

It's astounding. One or two of these guys is on record earlier in the year hoping for the next coach to fail so that they can say "I told you so". Mind boggling.

Is that the only measure of how good a coach is?

This is a message board. That's not how this works.

Everyone else thinks you're stupid

I am.allowed to post my opinion.

And.we.are.allowed to post our opinions that yours are monumentally wrong.

Because he took us to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately he has also brought us the the lowest valley. If UCONN extends an offer, may they should consider the UMBC coach.

He's becoming the next coach at ECU. That's his level. But good call.

Keeping Ollie is like loading all of the chambers in the gun. Have fun with that game.

Doesn't matter who is thin skinned or thick skinned. Some of the things posted on here are no different than bullying. Hope if you have kids they don't grow up thinking that putting others down is ok.

One thing is becoming clear. Whether Hurley is the man or not, some in the Ollie brigade like yourself will be actively rooting for him to fail. That's what you are reduced to. Sad.

I will be rooting for UCONN to win regardless but I know Hurley is not the answer.

I didn't realize you were clairvoyant. My apologies

No, you don't.

Jesus. Now I remember why I didn't post much this year, and was more on the Cesspool than the Men's Board when I did.

We got people who think the NBA should only run Hoosiers style offense, who think an A10 school whose tallest player is 6'8 should be ashamed by getting run off the court in the second round of the tournament by a team with a few lottery picks--but who didn't seem to care our guy got run off the floor by MEMPHIS (who FIRED THEIR COACH)--I mean, this place is astounding...

 

[intlzncster]

I know Hurley is not the answer.

How?

I don't know that Hurley is the answer. I can look at all the available facts and say I'll take a bet he's an improvement from where we were. But this certainty...I don't like it.

Really?

We had the best guard in the entire tournament in Shabazz and the best defensive guard in the country in Boatright. Our smallball was a great matchup against UK, URI's version is a horrible matchup vs Duke.

Duke is better at everything compared to URI. Better shooting, better bigs, better guards, better coaching.

Our 2014 squad had much better guards, better shooting and, I can't believe I'm actually saying this - better coaching. We also out-rebounded UK IIRC.

Sorry, basketball is just a wee bit more nuanced than you're making it out to be.

I don't have time to sit here and write every little detail. You guys take one thing one says and twist it around.

Those 2 sentences were so astoundingly absurd that it told me all that I needed to know.

And the bullying continues ...

What in blue blazes are you trying to say?

 

[Stainmaster]

Falling back on the title as why the KO of March 2018 is better than all of these candidates is embarrassingly lazy.

I've been one of the loudest and most annoying arguers on behalf of KO getting the credit for 2014, so I think I have some credibility in saying this; he is not the same coach he was back then, in terms of game-planning, player development, and putting in the requisite effort in all areas of the job. He was great back then, and the performance of the past two years has shown he can no longer replicate those peaks of success.
