Pros & Cons to Danny riding the refs.

[superjohn]

Working the refs is an art form. He has the facial expressions to complain without saying anything. But I just don’t see Dan Hurley ever getting this art form to help with the officiating. There was one coach who was a master at it but he coached at a school that I am not particularly fond of.

Calhoun was a master at it.

Calhoun was a master at it.

Yes he was. He mastered the art of being intimidating without going too far. But occasionally he had trouble reining it in. But overall he had a plan before the game on how he would approach. And if he expected a particularly bad game from the refs he would pass and say his stomach was bothering him and let Blaney deal with it.

Almost all these refs do multiple games a week, ref games in other conferences, and when conferences play other conferences.

So, they know how to call games differently.

How they call BE games, specifically UConn games, is a choice.

I thought he was great in the post game pressconference.

Dan is not as talented as other BE coaches in disguising their body language. Gotta put on the poker face once in awhile. LOL
