I wasn't directing the "settling" comments at you, that was to other posters.

What are his accomplishments beyond these two games?  I've been over my arguments on Oats/Hurley in a very nuanced way in a prior post.  He went 37-30 in his first two seasons and lost in the first round of the tournament.  He took over a Buffalo program already in good condition.  He's a legitimate flight risk to another college HC job.  He has no recruiting ties to this area.  He has no connection to UConn whatsoever.  He has only three years of HC experience.  All of these things do not apply to Dan Hurley.

You can continue to ignore all of these comments all you want and claim I'm rushing to judgment and summarily ignoring Oats - I'm not.  He may well turn out to be a great coach, he's off to a great start in his career.  But he's not proven himself as a program builder, nor does he have lengthy HC experience.  While I wouldn't be unhappy if he was the hire, I think he's much less of a fit for UConn specifically.
