Sorry but I disagree. After the horrible trip to Maui, Hurley did some reflecting...

"I think criticism of me, based on how hard I push from a competitive standpoint, I think some of it was warranted," Hurley said via CTInsider.com. "But, the people that took shots, and were waiting years for their opportunity, I guess my mistake was giving them the opening by losing three in a row."

He has admitted to coaching mistakes and has corrected it:

“It would have made more sense to start him (Diarra) from the opener," Hurley said. "Just have him at that natural point guard position rather than put a square peg on a round hole. Trying to force that on Aidan. I screwed up the early part of the season there. Hass is the heart and soul of the team along with Sam (Johnson). Just the passion that they put into it."

IIRC he's made other comments regarding mistakes in his approach, but can't find them at the moment. But my point stands...

People may call him whatever they like, and hate on him, but part of it is just jealousy. He owns it when he screws up, and then goes about fixing it.
