Calhoun's my favorite coach of all time but the amount of revisionist history coming out of that account is crazy. It's like that poster was not around for the Calhoun era.
Exactly! My point of posting that article is that Calhoun was characterized by the media as being a boorish bully and sore loser with more grudges than you can count , yet he is glorified on here(I love him too). Hurley has to clean up some stuff with the refs and fans in-game and after and some people here act like he's some toxic reprehensible monster. Hurley is at least self-reflective about his behavior and ego and knows he needs to get better. He said as much in the press conference yesterday. He knows he is a work in progress. Calhoun was way more unapologetic. With both, the good far outweigh the bad on the court and off.

I wouldn’t trade or change Hurley and his flaws, it is what makes him our great coach. Is it ’bombs that bother you? If you took those out and changed them with say “impacted“ or “screwed” would you be of the same opinion? That word is used everywhere in our society today

To me, I don’t care about the swearing. I care about blaming the loss on officials as you’re leaving the court when they had little to do with the result of the game.

bombs just made it juicier to go along with the whining for the media to report on.

If I had to guess what he was referring to specifically it was the oob on Solo and the subsequent no call on Karaban’s reverse. They turned out to be bad plays but were close calls, and shifted the game significantly.

I could care less what he says and does. I don’t see what the big deal is. I have literally stopped watching the NBA because the refereeing is poor and the college game is not far behind. These refs are HORRIBLE. Not talking about this game, just in general. They have ruined the game of basketball for me. And it’s not watching UConn only, it’s the NBA where I don’t have a favorite team. It’s bad and something needs to be done. Draymond Green was right when he said the NBA is a bad product. I think it’s the way the game is being called. College basketball is a close second and it’s caused me to gravitate towards football more the last few years.

The out of bounds on Solo was clearly off on him, it touched his hand twice before going out of bounds

Our coach is too whiney for you. Not secure enough with his bad behavior. He should just own it and not apologize or try to do better. Be more macho like JC. Got it

Btw, he didn't tell a fan to be quiet. I would rather have a person point at their 2 rings than tell me to "shut ..k up" in front of everyone.

Yeah, and?
Lol @ rocking with SIDs trying to run up on media and telling them I'll ruin your life when it's perfectly normal to record teams exiting the court. Some of y'all are in far too deep on the stannery, y'all can have it.

lol this is why I asked if you watched the video, the Hurley issue is secondary, there is a very specific action that is being discussed in that video

No it’s not. This has been Hurley before UConn and when he arrived at UConn. You’re only bent out of shape bc the accounts you follow are getting their shots in now. It’s pathetic. You intentionally choose to ignore the hundreds of coaches over the years who have done worse.

Would you prefer Hurley act cordial on the court but beat his wife or molest college girls?

Other fans and schools would kill to have Hurley as their coach (some tried to poach him), but some fans here are crying bc Hurley uses bad words and whines about the refs. Completely glossing over the literal criminal acts by other coaches.

Such as Todd Golden. Again, where is Dan Wolkens piece on the Title IX investigation? There were 2.

Very few people hate Geno. He's a great coach who behaves like a great coach who respects his players and the officials. I've never seen Gino come to even close to a temper tantrum.
He's far too old now.

My opinion has nothing to do with what other fanbases think. I also am not saying Hurley is a bad person. He’s just childish.

I smell a subtle troll trying to tread on here lightly.
Yeah, he's just early in the life cycle. He will incrementally increase his rhetoric until he draws a mild rebuke, and then he will feign his innocence and play the victim before storming off an angry huff. It is the troll lifestyle
