Ray Allen on Hurley (Borges)

[BFieldHusky]

Ray Allen texted with Dan Hurley after Cincy game: "‘We just have to get them to understand what 40 minutes hard is.’ ... With Coach Hurley’s enthusiasm, energy, I feel encouraged when I’m watching him w/these guys, because I know ... I’ve been down 28 in a game and still won.”

Ray Allen on Dan Hurley: “Some of the best coaches I’ve ever played for, big-name coaches, they always ask questions. That’s the one thing I’ve learned from being around incredible people — presidents, administrators — they always ask questions. That’s Hurley. He asks questions.”

That’s great because I really trust Ray’s opinion, a high compliment.

Ray also didn’t want Ollie to get fired lol

Is Ray supposed to say he did think KO should be fired?

Which is why it's good that he's texting Hurley and keeping an open and publicly positive line of communication open with UConn. Given how far back KO and he go, he didn't have to, and this is good for the school

True, that’s one way you learn is by asking questions. Another way you learn is by screwing up and recognizing why. It’s better to ask question before, if you can.

Calhoun said he thought change was needed. Many former players said that too. And they all were friends with him.

Depends how close they were though. Ray is/was one of KO's best friends. You don't throw your good buddy under the bus.

They were teammates and friends, so to be expected. When Chief broke the self imposed 12 month gag order early Thursday morning, while not my intention, I was reflecting the feelings of others. My phone literally lite up and perhaps others also now feel it’s time to speak up? KO’s behavior is increasingly putting himself on an island. When one gets fired there’s a normal feeling of bitterness and friends will demonstrate loyalty regardless of the facts. A year has nearly past, now it’s time to move on. Drop the nonsense KO! You will do fine financially and life will be more normal.

Hes always gotten along with Hurley- remember the story Hurkey told at his press conference where Ray kept asking him if he was ok after putting up a ton of points on him at Seton Hall?

I owe all of my professional success to being inquisitive at work.
