No, he wasn’t asking for a T. The ref wanted to make Hurley pay for not showing him enough respect. A better ref shows restraint, doesn’t make the game about himself and doesn’t call a T to compound the error at such a critical time in the game.
They literally warned him to his face several times to cool it.

  1. Memphis absolutely dogged us on defense. We got Aidan to be the scorer when the sets break down, and he wasn’t able to today. We need that from him moving forward
He didn’t give us anything against cupcakes either. He’s in over his head

I’d like to not argue anymore, but this is such a dumb strawman argument man.
It’s not an argument. It’s an ironic observation. In no way am I suggesting Hurley behave like the fans.

It’s just a little funny

Hurley needs to own that loss. He took away their chance to win.

The bad- point guard play throughout the game was awful but Hass showed a lot late. Samson was awful all game and did something a senior should never do in overtime. Hurley did something a coach should never do in overtime. Hurley needs to own the loss, he took away the chance to win from his players.

The good- Reed is a beast. Jaylin was great. Solo is a clutch flamethrower. Liam shook off a game and drained huge shots and he was our leader out there, incredibly impressive from a freshman.

Refs were awful but it's hard to believe Hurley still does this stuff. I expect him to own it with his players and I expect it to galvanize the team. The whole program has been feeling themselves since the back to back. Bringing them back down to earth is a good thing.

Props to Memphis.
And it wasn’t just the T. His substitution patterns were questionable at best. Samson Johnson was giving nothing, start Reed the 2nd half. APB for Stewie the 2nd half. What the heck was that?? Zone gave them fits, should have gone to it much earlier.

Saw a lot of the bad Dan Hurley today. I was hoping he had been permanently retired.

Easily the biggest loss from last year’s team was Newton. Right now we don’t have anyone who competently run the offense, and only 1/2 PGs can defend worth a lick right now.

A lot of mental errors on the staff and players. A lot to clean up. Probably a tougher coaching job for Hurley than either of the last two years.

Schedule someone other than West Cow Dick state university before Maui, too, please

A fan base full of unhinged lunatics is all of a sudden mad at our coach for being an unhinged lunatic lol. Dan Hurley will be fine.
That call was that bad and instead of giving Hurley more rope after botching the call they doubled down and grew rabbit ears and decided to ruin and decide an epic game. That crew should be nowhere near March Madness.

Mahaney not as advertised. He's a liability on defense. if he doesnt bring an offensive threat, then you need to take minutes away. This isnt just a single game slump. He's played like this since Summer ball. Stewart needs to take some of his minutes.

That bugged me way more than the technical.
They're all feeling themselves too much. I guess that's what two of the four most dominant runs in tournament history does to you.

Hurley has done a million interviews and he hasn't been at all shy about talking about three-peating. He's getting all the recruits he wants. It's just been win after win for them on and off the court. I like the confidence but they've sort of been walking around like they're invincible and their s^^^ doesn't stink. I would've loved the improbable comeback win but it felt right we lost this way today.

I agree. Even if Hurley deserved the tech, you don’t give it there.

nothing amuses fans of other teams more than seeing a losing team's fans complain about the refs.
Defend the indefensible. Bravo. We will be fine. But if a doctor botches a surgery or a CEO oversees their stock tanking, they get criticized. These referees should be no different. And it was an epic game that was fun to watch that they affected the outcome of which makes it far worse.

With the way they are playing, we aren’t gonna beat good teams with Mahaney and Samson starting. Maybe they come around, but being cute with the lineups should probably stop now.
There’s absolutely no reason to start Samson over Reed. Reed has looked like one of the best bigs in the country. Play him.

I’m not out on Mahaney yet. YET.

Really? One game is all it took?
Please consider retirement immediately
