Is this Hurley after this game?

[BlueandOG]

Coach is awesome! I am very thankful he is our coach. However, his antics are dumb. A grown man and leader needs to understand the situation and control himself.

 

[UCFan1513]

Google non sequitur.

Just pointing out that some act as if Hurley’s behavior makes him the worst person in the sport, but what he does pales in comparison to what others are doing off the court

 

[Robrio89]

They look at Dan Hurley during games almost as much as they do Taylor Swift

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I’ve been no fan of the reffing this entire season but while there may have been some questionable calls or non-calls, this loss was more about our shooters getting great looks but not being able to throw it in the ocean and some lazy plays at key times. It is what it is but we had plenty of chances to pull away.

 

[temery]

We are supposed to be upset about what exactly?

coaches are supposed to be role models. Hurley's temper tantrums reflect poorly on the team and the school.

 

[Mr. French]

I love Hurley!

I have no idea what he’s doing here, this is one of the first ones I’m kind of embarrassed. What is he talking about? Just general Big East refs screwing them? That’s different than them screwing us in this game. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

I love Hurley but this is a bit much. I just do not understand the reasoning behind it...just stop.

I wonder who reffed the Duke/Baylor game. Maybe there were some Big East refs? Otherwise I agree, our game yesterday was pretty fairly called.

They had 2 of the refs from our Friday game and then noted UConn nemesis Brian O'Connell

His ego is explaining/flailing away the loss in the immediate moment, on the AK no call. Within minutes his ego was able to label it as a "honorable" loss on the cbs interview, was classy. His mention of the AK call was muted by the time of the presser. I dont know if it was a foul, but if it was called it changes things. It WAS a turning point in a coaches "why did we lose" immediate thoughts, along with the rebounding on FTs. Dan Hurley tends to blame outwardly reflexively in the moment before he gets more introspective. This one doesnt bother me. Their season just ended in a sudden way. F the hot mic in the hallway leaving the arena

I would imagine Hurley was talking about the game we just played then. I wouldn't say we got screwed at all, but Hurley pretty much always has a camera on him so this kind of thing is going to get picked up more often than not.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Of course Dan Wolken is going to be leading the charge here.

UConn owns most of the real estate between his ears.

Him and Mike DiMoron might be the most obsessed UConn/Hurley haters.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Where's Dan Wolkens article on the other Title IX investigation regarding the Florida's mens bball team?

 

[tuvent08]

I hate the antics in so far that I don’t think they work. They cost us calls because he looks like a coked up psychopath every second of a game. But you remove that and you remove a lot of what makes him so great.

It’s hilarious to imagine him trying to do this stuff at the NBA level though.

it was just mentioned on national news. Not a good look.

 

[tuvent08]

To be fair, our university isn’t covering up mountains of sexual harassment allegations against its creeper coach.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Surprise, all the typical Hurley haters come out. Whatever, this is a non issue. Swear, some people would rather Ollie still be the coach.

 

[gtcam]

Lame. People have emotions.
Most of us will never know the pressure to compete at this level and what it takes day in and day out. This isn’t a participation trophy contest.

Losing on this stage, having mics and cameras in your face hoping to catch something like this is just where we are as a society.

Lame are your excuses.

Life isn't a participation trophy contest and we all will face some life decisions that are bigger than winning a basketball game.
Some of you folks would cover for this guy if he stabbed a ref during the game.
The guy is a loose cannon that has hurt his team with his antics as much as he has helped the players he loves with his coaching.
Someday he may realize his mistakes, but UConn and the State of Connecticut are paying a ton of money and IMHO too much to be a sore loser and someone who desires the stage as his bully pulpit.
Does anyone here think after his tirades yesterday, the refs and the NCAA will stop looking at him with extra eyes just because UConn lost?
He needs a mentor, I have been saying this for years and if he has one, find someone else.

All coaches have mics and cameras on them. St Johns had some really bad calls go against them in their loss (not a reason for the loss) and we didn't see Pitino act like a child.

Dan Hurley did nicely with his encrypted digs at both Pitino and Creighton. Thats what he should be doing rather than the tireless swearing and name calling at the officials.

Champions act like champions. They are not entitled. Dan Hurley feels he and his team are entitled and in the real world it doesn't work that way.

 

[tuvent08]

Golden not only got wildly outclassed in this matchup, but he's incredibly "fortunate" that this isn't the height of the #metoo movement because right now he would be former Florida coach Todd Golden.

 

[Revrat]

This one is weird. If you asked me it's planned. What are they not talking about? The fact that the team could not put the ball in the basket. They are not talking about the failures of the players or coaching, they are talking about Coach. It takes the focus off of on the court play and the kids. Hurley knows damn well there are cameras there and nobody will be dissecting anything off this one. What makes it weird is that he wasn't really popping off on the court. There were a couple times where he was barking and I didnt understand why but he was fairly calm most of the game. I don't think there is any way he could really feel like we were in any way.

 

[David 76]

Hurley as a particapation trophy kind of guy is the funniest thing I heard in a while.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Jim Calhoun lost his dad at 15 but I’m suppose to feel bad for Hurley because his who was the best HS coach in Jersey raised him to be competitive?

He’s 50 and suppose to be molding young men, not himself. It is not that hard to shutup and walk down a tunnel after your first tourney loss in 3 years.

We don’t have to talk about the childhood trauma of a grown suppose to be leader of men to excuse it.

You're using Calhoun as the paradigm for a coach who modeled exemplary sportsmanship?

 

[TheHorde]

People still watch that stuff? Sad!

Come on man please don’t bring Calhoun down trying to defend Hurley. Calhoun’s had 100x the class and self control Hurley does.

We’re talking about the same coach who celebrated this shot for 2 seconds before getting himself together to make sure he showed class to the losing coach.

Calhoun never came off as acting like a child.

He said swear words. Did you carry on like this when Calhoun said swear words? Do you carry on like this when you hear an adult say a swear word in your personal life?
