Message: [QUOTE="Uconnfanatic, post: 2632880, member: 4150"] Hurley might be a safer bet but with lower ceiling. That means maybe we make the tournament most years but aren't consistently a top 25 team. With Oats I think there is a greater chance that we are perennially in the top 25 and often in or near the top 10. Hurley is a solid coach. Oats may be more than that. I like the way his team competes. Teams are an extension of their coach. After watching so many games the past two years where UConn failed to compete, I'd like to see us get back to the kind of will to win we had under Calhoun. I just sense Oats is more likely to bring us that. The team's ability to compete is one measure and the interview process is another way to try to get a read on a coach's ability to get a team to consistently compete. [/QUOTE]
