Huh?
Dan has another 8 years to get to the same age as Calhoun's first title. But he's about the same age as dream season JC.
Oh no I got it, just thought that was the only appropriate response to your unnecessary white knight defense of KO, who I mentioned in passing simply to reference the start of Hurley’s tenure and didn’t attack at all. Lol
That’s it exactly. You can’t lose game 1 in the tournament to a worse seed every year and be a great coach. My biggest concern about Hurley is that my URI friend (former player who remains very involved) said in big time spots he spits the bit. My second is that he has a Seton Hall world view…the NCAA tournament is good enough. I can tell you that from his first day on campus Calhoun was trying to figure out how to win it all. I doubt Hurley even considers it.
You could fuel the Hudson with all your verbal diarrhea.
Yo. .Easy SJ.. Hudson River is a prominent river that has a lot of strong history(commerce) in the Northeast .. Don't need any additional "stuff" standing in the way of progress.
FWIW, Calhoun took Northeastern to the 2nd round of the tournament in their 1st year of eligibility. They just transitioned to D1 and we’re ineligible under the rules at the time their firs D1 year. Won their league though. He won as many NCAA tournament games at Northeastern than Hurley has won In his career. Went to the Elite Eight in his 4th year. Plus won an NIT in his second. Please don’t compare a guy who to date has been a pretty good coach to one of the all time greats in the sport.
You're literally the only one who compares Hurley to Calhoun. We know Hurley isn't Calhoun, basically no one is or ever could be. Just appreciate that he's a very good coach who could be great.
The comment was made relative to DH's age at this time ..Still "young" .. And the relative age of JC as his career began to take off.. It would be silly to compare their careers at this point.. Strictly an age comment
So far Hurley has shown himself to be a solid mid-major coach who has been pretty ordinary at the major level. Highest finish in the league has been 3rd. New Big East Tournament best finish semi finals. NCAA two bids: 0-2. You could probably replace him with 25 other pretty good major conference coaches and end up with a similar result. Or just accept that he is going to be Herb Sendek.
Objectively not true. Taking a losing program to the Dance twice in a row in his first four years is much better than ordinary. He's restablished the program and it is on a roll. And it's not that I care two whits about Herb Sendak but I can't stand folks who try to use decent people as a perjorative when they make their weak points. It's -2 as far as I'm concerned.
You should stick to the FB board. At least over there you're not totally insufferable...relatively speaking.
I like Herb Sendek. And he wasn’t an awful coach. Got his teams to the NCAA tournament pretty regularly at NC State. He made 5 straight including a Sweet 16. Plus got Arizona State to the Round of 32. Hurley actually has a way to go to be Sendek. To date Hurley looks like a lot of coaches. He’s fine. Not going to win you a championship but he’ll rarely put really bad teams out there. He is as I said, pretty good. If you traded him for any number of coaches. In fact if you look at the current crop of New Big East Coaches you have to wonder if he will have some trouble keeping up.
Seton Hall has 1 top 25 KenPom team in the last 25 years. Hurley did it twice in a row in his first 4 seasons after inheriting a team ranked 180th.
Either way, Alex Karaban didn’t mince words after the UConn men’s basketball team's practice on Saturday.
Yeah but I like proving him wrong because he's such an arrogant DB and so negative. Although his arrogance would never let him admit any of his is wrong.
Counterpoint to your vibe on Freescooter.. Where does he go/what does he do when DH scores Banner #5??
