Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3424968, member: 10"] Seems like a good place to put these articles. Amore and Borges both have articles up about Pikiell and parts of the articles compare the building job Pikiell has gone through at Rutgers to what Hurley is doing. Patience is the key, they both say. [I]There is a word that gets under Steve Pikiell’s skin, turns the smile on his face to a cringe. “Instant,” he says, in a tone Batman might use in referencing an arch villain. “Everyone wants instant. There is no instant. I’ve never been part of instant.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/hc-sp-amore-column-uconn-men-rutgers-steve-pikiell-20200204-20200203-46lojwed5nezph36ovkdr6aneq-story.html[/URL] [I]“First of all, I love Danny (Hurley),” Pikiell said. “I think it’s a great hire. He’s gonna do a great job, he really is. I’m the biggest Husky guy going. (Assistant coach) Tommy Moore and I have been friends for a long time. I love Tommy being there. They’ve got a great staff. I’m very confident in the job that Coach Hurley will do. Getting back to the Big East is tremendous for the program and for the UConn fan base. Great move there. Go back to where your roots are, where you belong.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctinsider.com/uconn/nhregister/article/Former-UConn-player-coach-Steve-Pikiell-of-15024687.php?_ga=2.266389262.1687010083.1580868923-1295436658.1502025969[/URL] [/QUOTE]
