Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 2596900, member: 264"] Few, if any, regular alumni and fans, truly know whether Hurley's "... the only coach that has actually expressed interest (through back channels ...) nor directly. No ill intent, but to what extent is that simply speculative based on a picture or so with visiting JC, some rumors, rumor-based media comments, etc. Tom Moore? Really, an "Old UConn guy"? Who knew? Sure Moore lives up the street in Tolland, is a Rhody assistant, and maybe better off as an assistant than as a small-time head coach, but how much potential baggage lingers from his supposedly innocent calls with Nate Miles, the manager Nochimson (sp?), etc. Yup, media reports suggest Moore did no wrong ... yet potentially welcomed back to Storrs? Hurley's a legit northeast guy with an obvious solid network and not just due to his father and ugh, Pukie brother, but how much credit does he truly deserve for only 2 seasons at Wagner, inheriting some players, and producing one good record (2nd year)? Somewhere, I've heard of a somewhat similar theme. On the other hand, 6 years rebuilding Rhody's lengthy basket case is more significant. Speculation, a picture with Calhoun or rumor here or there aside, actually recruiting and developing his own players, quantitative performance improvement (single digit 1st year wins to mid-20s and an NCAA bid mean something. Whether 5 winning records in 8 head coaching seasons and one rebuilt programs translates to Hurley being UConn's only current or potential prospective candidate ... TBD [/QUOTE]
