Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5201463, member: 71"] On manner where Dan Hurley differs from how JC did things is that JC didn't mind sending negative messages to kids who he expected better from than what they were doing. Dan Hurley seems to be sending messages only to attempt to boost a kid's confidence, belief in himself, in what he can become. I'll wager that a lot of what he was saying earlier (threepeat, angry that we weren't ranked #1) was to get the players to believe it was possible. Additionally, I'm not sure there was anyone with a foot halfway out the door prior to the Seton Hall game and as recently as a couple days before we beat Creighton (not long after St John's) Hurley reiterated to the team that they were captain of winning it all. He did believe some things would have worked out better than they have to date but among those was a belief that the players would automatically treat every game as a life or death struggle. [/QUOTE]
