I know Jim Calhoun was a unicorn we were blessed to have at UConn.  Watched the Xavier game with some familya and friends and they said it wasn't a good 'T', but that Hurley is emotional.
Calhoun was as fiery as they come, but the knew the situation.

That said, Calhoun was loyal to his players, but he held them responsible on the court.  I think it was Caron Butler that he benched after one possession in a game once.  I think he even came out onto the court after calling for a timeout and walked Butler back to the bench barking at him the entire time.  Today, Sanogo's head was not in it at the offensive end.  Clingan had some decent minutes, but the one time an Xavier player drives buy him for a layup, he was out.  He should have yanked Sanogo even for just a minute after his player slipped to the hoop for a dunk.  At least Clingan didn't look around and raise his hands to his teammates like "Where were YOU?".

I love Sanogo, but it was a bad look, but I thought even more, it was a missed opportunity for Hurley to send a message to his star.  It wasn't like Sanogo's was destroying Xavier on the offensive end and couldn't sit for a minute or two.
