Dan Hurley: UConn’s season "a huge success"
The Huskies took a tumble in the NCAA Tournament, but overall Hurley was proud of the team in his third season as coach.

I love Hurley. I love what he's done with the program, the players he's recruited, the energy he brings night in and night out. But anyone else get irked by statements like this? Any season that ends with a first round exit from the NCAA tournament is not a success. There will be posters here that say just making the tournament was enough to warrant calling the season a success, but since when have we ever done that?
I get its early in the rebuild, that he needs a bit more time, but sometimes I feel like Hurley still operates with that small time URI, Wagner mentality. I also understand he's looking for silver linings and at the larger picture, but to call this season a success just feels wrong, but maybe I'm crazy.
Anyways, love the guy and hope that next year goes a little better than this year did.
