Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5122401, member: 44"] Hurley has been incredibly blessed to be surrounded by Hall of Fame coaches, and is smart enough to use them as a resource. His father is a legendary hall of fame high school coach, and obviously at Connecticut he has access to Geno and Jim Calhoun. Calhoun has often been seen sitting in the stands and taking notes during early season practices and Dan has him address the team every month or so. When he first came to Connecticut, in particular, Dan went over and picked Geno's brain. I've often wondered if Hurleys nonstop frenetic practices and beautiful motion offense might have at least some influence from Geno. Hurley had a lot of resources and was smart enough to seek their opinions out and incorporate them into what he does. That's a part of what makes him great. Not everyone does that. In fact, his predecessor did just the opposite. [/QUOTE]
