This is tricky.  Is it talent?  I watch guys who are poor shooters light it up against UConn.  I watch guys who are historically good shooters crap the bed and miss wide open looks repeatedly for UConn.  Is that talent?  I have a couple of criticisms of Hurley.  1. I don't like the frequent use of the hard hedge and I dislike the fact that he has nothing else in the toolbox.  No two minutes of zone as a change of pace 2. His teams play tight as hell. They are too afraid of mistakes and play hesitant. 3. his loyalty to some guys is simply not deserved and he is very slow to adjust to the actual contributions those players make.  We've consistently had bad starts.  We consistently shoot poorly.  Hurley is there on the sideline, a giant overflowing cauldron of stress, and I think it impacts the team.   It's no surprise that the one game we played as a real underdog, Auburn, we shot the hell out of the ball.

I think they love his energy, especially when he's fun with the chest bumps and "you're bad man" comments.  But I can't escape thinking they seem to enter every single game tight enough to turn a coal suppository into a diamond.
