Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4141811, member: 6696"] I am becoming increasingly concerned we are seeing Hurley's ceiling as a coach. Great recruiter and manager of talent. Simply awful on game day. In the A10 you can be a winner by working harder than everyone and recruiting well. It'll even get you a bunch of wins in the Big East. Especially if we continue to elevate our recruiting. What it won't do is have years of conference dominance or deep runs in the tournament. You HAVE to be able to coach a half court offense, make adjustments, and call timeouts as a high major coach. You have to have something more to your defense than high hedge and work hard. Izzo, Cooley, Huggins have outcoached him badly. Bruce Pearl gave him a run for his money and he's terrible. I worry it's good enough to not get him fired in a few years without tourney success, but never good enough to see the elite 8s ans finals 4s we want as a fan base. [/QUOTE]
