Serious shaka love to uconn

.-.
Other than him being on the court during play, I really like Shaka. Over the top sure, but it’s college basketball and that’s not always a bad thing in this game

Marquette is a really fun team to watch too. I like that program
 
I know Kolek was gone but in reality wasn’t that a Final 8 game when you consider where it was played? Shaka called it a high high quality game.
 
A mutual admiration between really good programs and coaches. It's really good to see and here this.

A lot of similarities with both programs. And both coaches are correct when they site the cultures of each program.

If you are going to have a conference rival, this is it - UConn and Marquette.
 
I'm seeing a lot of Big East Brotherly Love amongst most of the coaches in the conference. UConn/Hurley has also gotten a lot of respect from opposing coaches, and he's always careful and respectful about how he speaks about them.

Good to see, and its evident in the handshake line too. It promotes the Big East, and it's good for its members. We've got the best collection of coaches in the country.

I love what Dan said here re: Cam's S%!$ talking this particular program and fan base.

"I think he (referring to Cam) caught a little bit of karma there. I just think he went to that too early and he's got to reign that in... I know that there is some other fan bases and programs that I don't mind him s%!$ talking them but, um, I did not like him doing it near their bench and to their fans because these people here............ it's a classy program, it's a championship program and Cam should not be yelling s%!$ at their bench."

Dan Hurley has such a strong handle on how to be and stay classy towards those who have earned it and are worthy adversaries versus those programs and fan bases that deserve any and all attitude we can throw at them.

Based on Andreas comments at the FF last year and his comments last night, I think it is pretty clear that Coach would be ok with Cam giving PC an earful this weekend if it doesn't hurt our winning chances.

Ha...Calhoun was the king of wandering onto the court!
 
Maybe i am rewriting the mid 1990s to early 2000s. Did calhoun has issues with most BE coaches?
 
Kudos to both coaches on praising each other. I admit, as a fan, I love the fire Cam brings. Hurley perfectly answered the press in relation to the 3pointer and technical foul called thereafter by simply saying we can’t disrespect this fanbase like that. Karma got him by missing the next couple attempts. But the respect between the programs is definitely elevating a bit between Hurley-Shaka. Blood on court, respect/admiration off-court. It’s great for big east.

Calhoun is a big guy, he had toes over the line. Shaka has heels a foot over the line. I like the guy, they should just talk to him and if he doesn't stop, start giving him Ts. NCAA Tournament refs may well T him up.

Shaka is the most on-the-court coach I’ve seen.

Calhoun was a big out of the coach’s box guy, but not really on the court.

Shaka is a great coach, but they absolutely need to get his ass off the court. He basically defends the corner three.

Even when that coach is on the floor defending the corner three. Not saying we should not respect character but the coach should not be on the floor playing defense if he is the least, he should expect, is that a player is going to talk junk to him.

It seems that for right now there seems to be a gentlemen's coach agreement to not get after each other when being on the floor. (see: Shaheen and Hurley grab assing over it at Gampel) All it is going to take is one coach to go for an advantage and gamesmanship this and have a player intentionally dribble into a coach on the floor (for example Karaban could've absolutely run into Shaka last night if Hurley told him to) to force the refs to call it and gain a tech foul shots in a close, important game and you will see them in their boxes again.

I dont even consider this a ref issue any longer. The only reason the refs let it go is that no coaches complain about it. It's a coaching issue.

Was amazing when he said that he should talk to Cam before games and let him give S to fan bases he thinks deserve it LMAO
 
Shaka on both post game interviews reeled me in. I wasn’t a big fan of his but really didn’t listen all that much in the past. He was really respectful of the Huskies but also very good in the analysis of the games both his team and the Huskies. Also he seems to have been a quick pass through with many coaches after games but he and Dan have had what would seem to be respectful discussions in line.

Great guy good coach. Just don’t play defense on the court Duke style lol.

If I’m playing Marquette and it’s close, I have someone drive right through Shaka’s sternum for free throws and the ball.

You do know that there was about a million percent chance that he was going to be our head coach post-Calhoun if JC hadn’t done the retire-in-September gambit, right?
 
Shaka is the 6th man on the court. Nothing to see here.
