No way Webster turned down 250k. Guess Freeman was the first choice.

Yeah I absolutely agree. The athletic department essentially told Hurley he could spend up to 300 k prob which goes against some posters belief that he was hired for financial reasons

Funny how the formal announcement today hits on all the key points/qualifications of the job description ;)

>"Kevin has always been a great ambassador for the University of Connecticut and he exemplifies the personal and professional qualities that build a championship level organization," Hurley said. "His success in his career as a player and a coach, his understanding of the game and of team, along with his character as a man made this choice an easy one for me."

Freeman, 42, has spent the past two years as an assistant coach at Penn State University out of the Big Ten Conference, helping the Nittany Lions post a 21-10 record last year, before the cancellation of the season.

Previous to his time at Penn State, Freeman was UConn's director of basketball administration from 2012-13 to 2017-18, after serving as assistant director for one year in 2011-12. Besides his responsibilities as the coordinator for all the Huskies' travel and the practice schedules at home and on the road, Freeman also served as the liaison between the men's program and the university administration, as well as the campus community.<

WOW. I don’t know who said money was the issue because they could’ve gotten Webster too. Money wasn’t an issue. I am shocked Kevin got that much tbh.

Billy Packer is such a . “One hand for the rebound, one hand for the push off.” Classic Packer back-handed compliment insinuating he should have been called for a violation.

Packer couldn't hide his pro-Duke / anti-UConn bias. The Voskuhl block on Brand, Packer was completely embarrassing- and wrong- with his reaction.

Kekoa, Sire and Legend Freeman are his kids names. That's awesome.

Kekoa - brave, courageous, warrior; name is of Polynesian origin. The youngest Freeman's shirt aptly sums up his father's return home: "Full Court Awesome".

"UConn really embedded in me the will to grind and outwork the next person, and it has come to fruition.”

Looks like Freeman is ready for The Grind™
