It is hard to even imagine how bad Hurley’s predecessor was. And to think that there are still some who think he should still be the coach

Is it November yet?

Ive spent the last couple months retraining my 5 year olds name recognition of Danny Hurley. He's gonna be ready come first night and im going to be out of my mind by then if things like this keep up.

Quite an indictment. Need to play "harder", be "tougher", more "competitive", more "physical".

Good lord, if you aren't those things, what ARE you ?

2017-2018 UConn Huskies it appears...

"Way too sloppy"

 

[EBonz30]

One thing I teach my management teams is that it is imperative to have honest conversations with each other to be able to grow as a operation, a team, & most importantly as a individual.

Everything coming out today is great. The team seems to legitimately really like Hurley, which is huge for a successful season.

This is the happiest I've been going into a season in a long time. Even after we won in '14 we knew we wouldn't be as good the following year. I'm not saying we will win anything this year, but everyone is saying the right things about each other. Players, staff, and fans have bought in and we will ride this mother ******* train all the way to greatness!!!!

Let's go!!!

Wow, that's impressive!!! Do you have this weekend's powerball numbers while you're at it?

EDIT: This came off very douchey, sorry.

Soft?

Wonder if he showed them clips of Ollie not fighting with the refs

I was about to say, I wonder if there was some subtle criticism of KO in Hurley's statement, like the kids didn't think KO put up enough of a fight with the refs and had to take matters into their own hands.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Do I dare bring up the possibility that players were looking at refs because they knew their coach wasn't working refs over for them?

Ah, you beat me to it.

I honestly don’t think there’s anyone who thinks he should still be here. But there’s plenty who can’t let it go about how bad he was.

I love this Hurley quote.

LOL that is funny stuff.

I think Hurley is too classy to make digs at Ollie. Also think he would cut it off if the kids did.

He would gain nothing by making any digs. I don't expect to see it. The most we will get is generalities about the team i.e. the toughness he's talked about

Hurley would not dare to do that until he wins championship or his players gets 1000 on the APR. Tough act for him to follow

Good stuff from Amore's article on the new regime's non-stop, all out bust 'em practices: "Hurley wants 2019 and 2020 recruits to see the workouts as they come in for visits. The ones right for UConn will want to be pushed and coached this way."

 

[UconnU]

It looks like Hurley has split up the team into 2 teams(blue and grey) that are constantly competing against each other. Blue: BA, JA, MD, JC, Tyler Phommachanh, Jump vs Grey: TS, CV, JW, EC, SW, AG

But really, Hurley already has taken a few shots at Ollie, I mean, if we're being honest with ourselves here.
From my recollection:
Hurley suggested that having several students transfer was a sign a problem within the program.
Hurley suggested that he's ready for the job because he's a proven rebuilder and UConn needs rebuilding.
Hurley suggested that the culture has to change.
Others I can't recall exactly.

Any implication of the program is, obviously, an implication of Ollie. Sure, he didn't call out Ollie by name, but there is zero doubt that Ollie is the guy responsible for all the cited issues.
That written, I have no problem with it. I would have been disappointed if he made no comment about the state of the program. So what if Ollie got hit with a little shade?
Hurley has done a great job pumping up the fan base without taking unnecessary and direct shots at Ollie.

Unlike you here, he's getting his points across in a forward-moving way. You know this, and also know that daring to be a jerk isn't a spoil of success on or off the court.

Come on, you just replied to one of them.

 

[UconnU]

Working out again today I believe(based on some IG posts) seem to be on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday routine for summer workouts.
