What is your take on Hurley and the Refs?

[Woodson]

Find it funny how uncomfortable Hurley stills makes a lot of yall

I honestly think it just makes the refs hate him lol. I think they form a bias against him when he acts up or chews them out and they end up reffing the game in a biased way against us as a result.

This should be a wake up call for Hurley, truthfully he should have learned before this. You can go up to the line but knowing when to pull back. Love Hurley but man he can be intolerable. Grown man needs to do better. Just freaking coach.

Or the media could focus on the issue of poorer and poorer officiating year after year. It's getting really bad and it's not just Hurley complaining about it.

Why would they do that, when they have actual fans of the very same teams getting screwed doing free policing of online conversations - to shut down discussion of what everyone watched happen because it’s “whiny?”

It's weirder because there are plenty of NFL and CFB coaches who do 90% of what Hurley does lol. Baseball managers literally get tossed from games multiple times per year and people eat it up. I don't get it.

Not everyone loves and appreciates him. He kind of reminds me of a bully. He is fine when everything is going great. He is a POS when not. Give him props for winning but is there a worse behaved coach in NCAAM hoops when not winning? This was not a one off for him, it is his true colors. No excuse for his behavior.

Can we lock this thread please @temery
Really! POS? No excuse for this type of post.

We have a great coach — nothing in this discussion changes that. Having said that, there is no strategy in getting T’d up in the last minute of the game. You’re not giving yourself time to motivate your players or influence future calls. It simply is a weakness in Hurley’s game. Period. But it’s akin to criticizing something in Lebron’s game — criticism may be fair but it doesn’t mean Lebron isn’t great.

Driscoll has had an axe to grind against Hurley for years and you don’t allow Danny’s behavior for 44 minutes and then call it with a minute left in overtime. That’s beyond crazy.
