Jeff Goodman being weird with the Hurleys

awkward what if GIF by NETFLIX
 
goodman is unbelievable. he also interviewed bobby hurley the other day and closed the interview saying "hold on a second, i heard marcus bagley just wrote another tweet and i have to go read it" -- not sure why these coaches agree to go on with him.

Goodman was definitely acting goofy.. Had seen this earlier.. Even his sidekick was uncomfortable for the Hurleys.. Give Dan Hurley/BH credit for rolling with it.
 
Just so weird all around. When was this recorded? I hope before the Beard stuff. So tone deaf.

This was my thought...

How tone deaf can you possibly be given the Chris Beard Situation?

Also, acting like people aren't punished for things that have happened 30+ years ago...
 
He's been buddies with them for years and they're shooting the breeze laughing and telling inside stories. The Hurley bros were talking about what it was like growing up in Jersey City fighting, getting into trouble at home etc. and Goodman asked the question messing around. Bobby was smiling and laughing and Danny took it a bit in a different direction and talked about how important his dad's discipline was for them even though they didn't really know it at the time. It was a great interview.

It's weird people think this is so weird.

The reason it goes in a different direction is because Goodman sees that it was a terrible and awkward question and rephrases to "how tough was he on you"

the exchange here looks awkward as hell:

Dan didn't want to answer which is fine so Goodman resphrased it which is also fine, Bobby seemed to think it was funny and let Danny handle it. It's not a weird question considering what they were talking about and they're men of a certain age who grew up in Jersey City.

My dad and uncle grew up with their dad in Jersey City and went to all the same schools he did. They got hit in school and there was some hitting at home. I got the brown belt. Things used to be different and it's something we joke about as we got older.
 
It is definitely a taboo topic for a lighthearted basketball podcast, but I think that most or all of the awkwardness is attributable to Goodman's misunderstanding of Dan's prior story.

Dan had just finished telling a story about how, when he was a kid, he was getting his butt whupped by an older kid when he ran home and told "Bob" who then "beat the kid's ass." Goodman's next question was whether Bob Sr. used the belt on them.

My interpretation is that Goodman thought Dan was talking about Bob Senior, since most people refer to Junior as "Bobby." Dan and Bobby's reaction was probably more of them thinking "how did we get from that story to this topic?"

Really nothing to see here, IMO.

Jersey City was tough. I agree with you here and discipline from a tough dad in the old days often meant a meeting with his belt. If I had to guess my bet was that both boys met that belt at least once. I understand that flogging kids was frowned on then and now but tell that to my WWll vet dad. Never resented him for it. Hurley handled that diplomatically and very well.
My brother and I still laugh about the time we got it and the next morning found a broken piece of belt on the floor. It was like a victory for us.

Dan and Bobby accounted for themselves and their programs well. Goodman is a buffoon.

That guy you're calling a buffoon is a buddy of Hurley's and probably has more access to our program than anyone, it's a good thing.

I thought the progression of the different responses to the different posts were appropriate and proved I don’t think this funny. I care.

That was definitely weird. I wonder why he specified the use of a belt.
 
Even (or especially) if they are long-time buds, there are conversations you can have with friends in private that you can't have on a public platform representing a state university. Goodman, as the journalist in the mix, should know better that to try and lead his 'buds' down that road.

I’m trying to imagine someone asking Calhoun that question.

Picture it.

Not hard to imagine - pretty common story among certain generational/cultural/demographic groupings.

the lions share ( not all, but many) of the people born anytime before 1970 have those stories. It isn’t some sort of “ Jersey city toughness badge of honor” that has been put forth in this thread either.

It’s just an inappropriate, crappy question by a CBB hack thinking he is either edgy or funny.

JC would’ve shut that pod down immediately while spitting at the screen, and Dan you could tell, wanted to.
