Speaking about Sanogo:

"I’m mad at him a little bit right now," UConn coach Dan Hurley said. "I thought he should have shot two or four more 3s in the second half. For us to win that game, I almost felt like at half he was going to have to make another 3 or two."

​

I simply cannot even fathom that this is the reason Hurley thinks we lost the game. Im done.

Yikes. Sanogo is the last player he should be mad at. Also expecting a low volume shooter to keep up his percentages when they were now guarding him on the arc is silly. Many reasons we lost, Sanogo not shooting more threes is not one of them

That’s … fascinating, I guess.

He's right, Sanogo was the only one hitting shots today

 

[gsmooth]

He really said that?! ‍SMH. Sanogo is really the only Husky that I can played a good game and he dominated his match up with Kalk

 

[MTBingNinja]

I said this in another thread, he’s a great 3 point shooter from the top of the key. But Hurley shouldn’t be saying that per se depending on the context

Yeah, said it in his pressor

That comment had to have been pure sarcasm in an attempt at humor.

He equaled his season avg in points and was above his 3 pt%. So how is Hurley right to say it was his fault? You're really relying on your 5 to be draining 3's all day? Seems like he did more than his share of the work today.

 

[willie99]

He wanted Sanogo to shoot more, I can't fathom why somebody would be angry about that

Then again, lots if angry people around here. No idea how to enjoy the ride. Every bump in the road throws them into a tailspin

RELAX

 

[Dove]

No way that quote is serious.

So Hurley and McDermott both wanted Sanogo to shoot more 3's. Coaching unanimity!

Hurley didn't say it was his fault, unless there's some part of the quote you didn't post. Because that I would not agree with. I'm just saying Sanogo was knocking down his 3's so would have had no problem with him taking a few more

He says some head-scratching and worrisome things in press conferences but I have to see him actually say this or the context to see if he's joking. It's such a ridiculous thing to say I think he has to be joking.

I hope someone can provide a link.

That’s an incredibly dumb quote though. Blaming the best player on our team by a mile because he didn’t do more of something he doesn’t do much of to begin with? Just pathetic of Hurley in my opinion. I wasn’t even blaming him much for this loss other than the decision to play AJ so much, but this is really stupid.

That's exactly what Hurley meant , as I just watched the post game press conference. Since AS was given the space by Kalk and was converting those 3s, Hurley thought that AS should have taken a few more . That is all.

Starting at 4:10...doesn't sound like a joke to me

Unfortunately, no. Starting at 4:10

 

[karstenkibbe]

It’s not a joke. Hurley actually said he would have liked Sanogo to take TEN threes. What.

I like Hurley a lot. But he starts off all of these pressers with canned cliches. Also doesn’t help that our best writers never ask the hard questions anymore.

He’s not the best player on our team “by a mile”.

 

[jpeakin]

He’s not the best player on our team “by a mile”.

Tonight he absolutely was

Not a joke but that's not even remotely close to how you framed his quote when you started this thread. No blame at all, he's just saying he would have liked to see a few more attempts when he's knocking down 3's

 

[gtcam]

If it was made in seriousness it wouldn't surprise me.
If it was an off the cuff statement, it wouldn't surprise me.
If he decided to keep his mouth shut and try to coach during the game - that would surprise me
All fluff and bluster with nothing constructive to offer
It's a tiring scenario

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Firstly, talking about tonight. Secondly, he probably is, lol.

I read the quote from Foxsports.com and copied and pasted. Then I listened to the interview. Not sure what you're seeing out of context here but we can agree to disagree.
