Only reason any of this is possible

Hurley has taken over College hoops and taken UConn to unprecedented levels in the modern era. Someone else paved the way to even make it a possibility and we thought he might be at home in CT for this...

The best ever embracing someone who is well on his way to surpassing the best ever.

So glad Calhoun got to witness his program get back to where it belongs.

Honestly it's about the coolest thing ever. It didn't go well with Calhoun and KO in those last few years...let's hope that gets figured out, maybe it has. I don't think so but....

Calhoun created a giant, Hurley somehow made it an even bigger giant. This is what needed to happen. I hope Calhoun has another 10 years or so to watch his baby grow but not matter what it's in great hands. Calhoun is Brando.

Very happy for Calhoun that he was there last night after missing out in last years final four. He has to be in his glory seeing what Hurley has done and how great this team is.

Another thing that continues to surprise me is that Ollie is an NBA head coach.

He is doing a little better than the guy he replaced.

I love how Hurley has allowed Coach to mentor him and mentor the team along the way. Perfect blend of being involved and letting Danny run his own thing.

Also love that we have Hurley Sr on the side too. Along with JC, Danny has two sage advisors to pull from anytime he needs it.

I remember when UConn was trying to get into the ACC, and Louisville beat us out, some of the ACC fan sites predicted UConn's basketball excellence would stop when Calhoun left. Boy, did the team prove them wrong.

Hurley has his dad and JC and he can also walk down the hall and pick Geno’s brain. Quite the trio of mentors.

I'm too happy to even write it.

I thought this was a post about me staying off the Boneyard for a month, wearing the same game-day shirt, jeans, underwear and hat, sitting in the same spot, touching all the UConn memorabilia before the games, and drinking only Connecticut beers during games.

3. You forgot Geno.

It is mind boggling to think of the journey we as UConn fans have witnessed over the past 30 years. I was telling my son the other day that I am old enough to remember a time before we made a Final Four, and look where the program is now.

Doesn’t seem real, and it all started with the foundation laid by that man.

If we had lost last night the Px fans would be giving us hell.

They bought they could beat us. They could not.

Had the 2006 team performed and Dyson not get hurt in 08, Calhoun might have won 5 NC's

2006, we should've definitely won that. great points on both seasons.

Me too. What would a guy with 15 years as a player in the league know about coaching there?
