Bad News Bears Breaking Training. I saw that movie.
My brother's always good for one "Let Them Play" chant anytime we're watching a baseball game.

They definitely are, tho.Okay, so I was wrong about Riley and wrong about Mazzulla. (I should have gone with Carlisle, who’s from Ogdensburg, NY, near the Canadian border, lol)
But my point stands that they’re not stereotypical Jersey/east coast, hair on fire guys, like DH. Or, as the OP put it, fiery, borderline crazy, type A plus personalities.

It’s not offensive, it’s just bizarre. Why is a UConn coach talking publicly about another UConn coach being crazy not to accept another offer to leave UConn.I heard exactly what he said. I even replayed it to try and see what all the fuss was about. And no, I don't get the fuss.
Some people are just begging to be offended by every little thing.
I would tell you that the site will automatically take you to the next unread post, but I like getting all the likes.I like all posts I read. it helps me keep track so I know what I have read
Because its the Lakers. Its not like its the Detroit pistons calling. They're the pinnacle brand of the NBAIt’s not offensive, it’s just bizarre. Why is a UConn coach talking publicly about another UConn coach being crazy not to accept another offer to leave UConn.
I hear you, but the timing kind of sucks.I appear to be in the minority but coming off back to back national championships I'd be pretty underwhelmed if the replacement is Luke Murray or Kimani Young. I think they're both going to be great head coaches, but UConn should not be a first head coaching job
No thank you! Don't want a snake oil salesman
I honestly don't believe its a "once in a lifetime" if Hurley is as good a coach as we believe.This is like recruiting situations. It's a deeply personal choice for Hurley and his family. He values loyalty quite highly and I suspect would feel bad leaving right now. Yet the opportunity could be a "once in a lifetime" chance for him to tackle the highest level of his profession on its biggest stage.
I don't think this is about leverage, or posturing or any of that. I simply don't think Dan knows what he wants to do. He's almost certainly very torn by the prospect of leaving UConn, leaving a team he built, leaving that success and yet the opportunity afforded him is the pinnacle, it's the very top.
Can't be an easy one. He can't lose, there's no bad choice. Just two great ones.
Wooden is a legend. Riley lives the highlife which has an expiration date.Bold claim given that John Wooden's been dead for 15 years and Riley splits his time between a beachside crib in Surfside and a beachside crib in Malibu.
Because he knows that talking about a no-hitter in progress has no impact on the outcomeIt’s not offensive, it’s just bizarre. Why is a UConn coach talking publicly about another UConn coach being crazy not to accept another offer to leave UConn.
Guys, it's borrowed time either way. The Knicks will offer him in a few years regardless. If I were Dan, I'd push UConn for the next couple years and then take the Knicks job (or Nets). Go down as the greatest coach since Wooden, maybe even greater, and then bring the Knicks back from the abyss. That would be the dream scenario.
Either way I'm going to root for him no matter if he's at UConn or somewhere else, as long as its not a college job.

I get that part 100%. But you can see why people raised an eyebrowBecause he knows that talking about a no-hitter in progress has no impact on the outcome
Like this take but think he stays 4 or 5 more years at UConn, establishes his legacy as the best college coach ever with a couple more titles. And then he gets an NBA job in the Northeast where he coaches there and wins an NBA title, retiring at 60 as he has said he will not coach behind 60.Guys, it's borrowed time either way. The Knicks will offer him in a few years regardless. If I were Dan, I'd push UConn for the next couple years and then take the Knicks job (or Nets).

My unsolicited prediction when all is said and done:
- Hurley stays
- BUT, gets a fat pay raise
- He'll leave for the NBA after five years or his next championship, which ever comes first.
