Time to do some soul searching. Between the free throw disparities and Hurley's on-court reactions to the team's inept defense leading to three straight defeats, he looks utterly dismayed and bewildered. Better get it figured out quickly as Baylor, Xavier and many others may be smelling blood in the water.
Kentucky fan's observation: He's absolutely right with no time to fix the issues in a three day period. You play with what you came with. The positive to come away with is that the coach took responsibility for what happen and admitted that he's bewildered and shell shocked. I guarantee he rights the ship quickly.
Members of the BIG BLUE nation love's the man's passion for winning! He clearly hates losing and we relate to that. The tech he got in the first game would have gone to the majority of any coaches in the same situation. That call was atrocious. I've seen coach Pitino get thrown out of games for a lot less during his Kentucky years. You guy's will be back with a vengeance by January.
@@Ray-hr9tbGoing back...! Pope seems to be doing the right things. Doesn't hurt he played under the maestro. Hopefully we'll be seeing each other in March.
He's right. They're in a tailspin where it's difficult if not impossible to fix things on the fly. This team (coaches included) need to look into the mirror and be honest about what they see. What is their identity? Where are their weaknesses? And are they willing to put in the hard work without making excuses in order to play at competitive level?
It’s not the same team. Lot of players have left and there are new ones. They weren’t going to coast to a third straight title. Other teams got better to.
To all of you Uconn haters. I admit,Hurley is eccentric. But a bum? No,sorry guys,but no,he’s not a bum. He’s a great coach. As a longtime Uconn fan who try’s to be rational and objective, I doubt that this team wins a national championship. They are young. In my opinion he should develop the sophomores and freshmen. Next year he has a great recruiting class. Thinking that you can win the national championship every year is a pipe dream.
Very undisciplined team right now. This is a different team. That's college BB though. It's just amazing that 6 months ago people praised Hurley for his fiery spirit, now they criticize him for it. The guy is a great coach. He'll adjust as he sees fit. Guaranteed that doesn't include going easy on the refs.
Yall won’t be raising any trophies in March. Hurley is a damn good coach though and I would still bet you guys will be a tough team to beat come feb and march.
@@RyanBenjamin-hn7se oh we are. if coach says we are, then we are. we were horrible in 2023 early in the season too , but come march we were a juggernaut nobody could beat. we're getting that 3 peat

I'd bet you a 1,000 dollars that doesn't happen, there are teams far too good for that, and clearly just like UNC the transfer pieces, aren't exactly what were expected.
Also any coach who keeps blaming the refs, has a weak mentality, bad calls happen, and Maui was FULL of them, for every team, deal with it.. cause you know the refs NEVER get held accountable. But don't roll around on the ground like a spoiled child.
@@jjsneed8060 idk . He was crazy before and recruiting didn’t drop off tho they just missed out on a big center from the class of 2026 . They have the second best recruiting class next year tho
I'm not trying to downplay that the team played poorly, but the fouls discrepancy was insane, and no team traveled as far to get to Hawaii. This elite coaching staff will right the ship. GO HUSKIES!!!
All of BBN wanted this guy, I for one and glad we dodged this guy inking a contract with UK. Great coach those antics tho leave a bad taste in your mouth especially after watching Mark Pope with the refs.
@ I’m talking about the last two games. Blaming the refs instead of holding his teams play accountable. Wanted to see would those past excuses fly today.
@@drewski5k177. He pointed out the FACT that the refs were lousy. But he nowhere blames them for the loses. If I’m wrong,show where he said that it was the refs fault Uconn lost.
@ That’s not true at all lmao. Did you even watch all 3 of the press conferences or only watch clips. He’s said the defense was abysmal, he said his coaching could be better and that they need to re-group and fix the issues. And you can’t even say that they were not lousy man, and this isn’t just UConn, they sucked in majority of the Maui games, other teams were talking about it too. That isn’t me putting the blame on the refs, two things can be true at the same time. The refs sucked and the team was lousy, especially against Dayton where it seemed like we just gave up. Back to the whole taking accountability thing, I guess you can says it’s subjective, it’s objective that he took accountability, but it’s subjective on how people view it or how “strong” the accountability was. Either way, he’s stated that the team needed to work harder, that we sucked on both ends, he said it how it is. At the end of the day, UConn fans and many other college basketball fans are becoming armchair coaches, and it’s annoying and quite immature. These are kids playing basketball on a team that they find to be in their best interest for future success. This is a coach who DID win back to back, not back to back with luck, back to back with smart unselfish team play. He’s a coach who has been himself and hasn’t change. How he’s acting now and how he’s acted before is no different. People are not just asking him to stop complaining, they’re asking him to stop being what makes Dan Hurley himself. The only reason why this is even a discussion is because so much spotlight is on this team now. Like I said, will I agree he’s gone overboard? Sure. Do I think he should stop? No, simply because that’s who he is AND he gets results. He would have freaked out over that “over the back” call on McNeeley the same way, even if he was up by 20, don’t believe me? Then you simply don’t watch enough UConn games. At the end of the day, I’m nothing more than a fan and I’m going to remain that way, but to say he took “no accountability” is just personal bias, he did take accountability, he’s openly stated coaching could of been better, that the defense was ass. He knows the tech was a big deal, but there’s simply no reason to say “yes the tech was my fault” to the public, because it doesn’t matter. I’m sure he’s told the team it was his fault. Anyways, I hope you had a good thanksgiving.
@@priority7773 Okay winning back to back titles is impressive (not as impressive as two titles with different teams, but still very impressive especially considering they basically steamrolled everyone... I mean, they didn't play the best competition but that isn't their fault so).. But seriously, FALLING DOWN on the sidelines in a meaningless in season tournament game over a call, drawing a tech COSTING YOUR TEAM THE GAME, doing basically the same shit the next day, absolutely collapsing the following day to get ASSBLASTED by Dayton (dayton!!!!) All of this happened... IN MAUI. Bro is in paradise having an absolute fucking meltdown costing his program AT LEAST 1 (probably 3 cause it domino'd out of control) losses is absolute BUM behavior. That said.. I'm sure someone will step in and corral his ass back into some measure of sanity. An assistant, the AD, his wife, even.. Surely, anyway. I think the pressure of being on top is gettin to him.. I think he may even CRACK and have a mental break from reality and wind up in a straight jacket if someone doesnt get thru to the dude.

hahahaahha them 2 years really go to hurley n his fans heads. these 3 losses are normal. hurley aint nothing haha. he had decent college players that helped him win. as u notice i said college not nba. castle somehow only one that actually plays good. dont say clingan stop it

when he gets really mad at the refs he looks like a little kid upset because someone stole his blue, yellow and red crayons
Fouls were the losing reason in this one?? lol, no excuses yall had a great run
IT'S a good thing it's early in the season. TRUST COACH HURLEY! we will climb out of this and will once again be raising the trophy in march!!!

A total head case, but he makes it fun.
UCONN history is they either don’t make the tournament or they win it all lol
They are weird like that but they’ve had tournaments were they have won it all 2022 2021 2016
Should’ve gotten brea instead of mahaney

Travel distance has nothing to do with the performance and coaching was the fault here.

He needs help.

Easy to say but 2 Natties says otherwise. Hard to do in today's CBB. Yes, he's easy to dislike.
