These refs have no balls and no courage to stand up to the big bad wolf that is Dan Hurley. These refs need to grow a pair and put him in his place. His antics are over the top
Honestly, I'm starting to see a lot of Bob Sr. coming out in Dan. I recall how Bob would get in the doc, "The Buck Stops Here" about his New Jersey program, and I'm really starting to see more of the ego from Dan coming out, and he seems to be using his recent success to feel like he can say or do whatever he wants. He doesn't seem to filter himself for character's sake.
EVERY call is not life or death in basketball. Coaches make it seem like it is the end of time. It is a GAME. If my team wins or loses, I STILL get up and go to work the next day. It is NOT life or death...If you keep saying the "sky is falling" all the time because of EVERY call going against you, folks tune you out after a while.
I think Hurley knows this team isn't the team he thought he had. Hurley was a head of the rest of the NCAA in the way he built his roster but now everyone else has caught up and its going to be a lot harder on UCONN. Hurley is a great coach but his temper has already cost them a game or two.
He represents the university and the state, I'm pretty sure he will hear about his sideline antics from them about the issues that've been covered here; hard to ignore when it's "live at 5" about everything and everyone, there's nowhere to hide like there was for Bobby Knight until the axe finally fell. Besides it looks bad, so they'd better clean it up because no-one wants the 1980's version of the big east again , what with all of the people triggering like they do today. But I've already said it, at some point Dan will have to choose between his temper and coaching, only one will survive. I really hope he gets his sh*t together.
@@CarlosMendez003 Past is the past. Who won the natty 3 years, 5 , 7 years ago. You remember? Anyone talk about Duke's or Villanova? Look at Nova now. Defending Hurley right now is tough. It isn't the first T that cost a game. UConn '95.
I understand protecting your star players, you can’t support allowing a star player to take six steps every time he picks up his dribble. Why aren’t they protecting Caitlin Clark do you think?
This was Bobby Knight who for about 12 years bully and talked crap..but they finally did the opposite the last 6 or 7 .and then when they fans didnt win big anymore ..he got ran off..and Knight was ten times better then Hurley
Bob Knight is a legend, but 10x better than Hurley? No. Knight did have the last undefeated team in college basketball so he does deserve a lot of credit, but when the tournament went to 64 teams, he was less successful. He did have a title in 1987 which he deserves a lot of credit for and a Final Four in 1992 and an Elite 8 in 1993 (swept Fab Five in regular season), but he was largely dismal in the NCAAT after 1993. Also, Knight did not produce that much NBA talent. Most of the top players that went to Indiana, with the exception of Isiah Thomas, didn't pan out in the NBA because they got burned out dealing with Knight on a daily basis. Look at Andre Patterson. He was top 5 recruit and didn't come close to having his performance match that ranking. Hurley just had back to back titles in a much tougher and competitive era and dominated the field with the largest point differentials ever in the NCAAT. And he has sent 7 players to the NBA in the last 2 year
@hgspiderman56 yeah all that wins and not one nba all star ezcept Zeke...he is at worst top 3 coach and Hurley great two years ..but long way to go to Knight..btw im Kentucky fan that grew up in Indiana hatimg Bobby Knight ..
@@tonywhite7083 Indiana was a blue blood that top players dreamed of playing for. He got good recruits, they just never panned out in the NBA they way people expected except for Zeke. It's not like he go mid level players. As far as wins go, Hurley has a long way to go, but as far as titles go he already has 2 to Bob Knight's 3 titles. As for top 3, well I guess (shoulder shrug). I would put Coach K, Dean Smith, Jim Calhoun, and Jay Wright above him.
i remember when he quit college and said he was so depressed and crying. now he has turned into a tuff guy since he has won. he is a fake with good players
He's actually not better than this though, it's a long term chronic problem with him. We also need to stop coddling him and pretending it was a bad call that set him off just because he said so. It was objectively a correct call. Read the rule and use your eyes on the film and stop letting this guy hypnotize you. He's like a fan, he's just sitting there yelling unhinged fan trolling into a microphone after every game and people act like he's serious and right, cut it out.
He is passionate, it trickles down to his players, which is why they are always in a game regardless of score. But i agree he should show the same self control he asks of his players on the court.
He’s got that fire in him. Would rather have the fire than not. Like Coach K said about Laettner, “You have to think about Christian like fire. And you are the superintendent of a building. If you handle him the right way, he can heat up every apartment in the building. But if you don't approach him the right way, he'll burn the building down.” Same with Hurley!
So a grown ass man throwing himself on the ground and rolling around kicking and screaming like a child in public constitutes having a "fire" Yeah, naw. This aint it lol
Danny Hurley has done something that no current coach can say they’ve ever comes close to doing. Two straight championships where his team blew out every single opponent all the way through. Two games after pulling-off that amazing feat and doofuses like this clown wearing the Brooklyn Dodgers hat want to call him an embarrassment? Not way… he is in a class by himself right now. Wake me up when Bill Self runs the table even once by more than ten points each game. Hurley is. Big-time champion and that’s a fact.
Hurley has to conduct himself better. He has reverted to the bad habits of before Feb 2023. Was the officiating awful in Maui? Yes and Carolina fans in Maui didn't like it either. Is Hurley a big-time champion? No question for the reasons you stated. Some of these posts suggesting Bob Knight's behavior was better than Hurley's are comically stupid.
"Danny Hurley has done something that no current coach can say they’ve ever comes close to doing" Might look up a fella by the name of Billy Donovan...
You guys were begging for him last summer. He doesn’t fit that diva culture he’s a Northeast guy and we love him in Connecticut. Let’s see what your coach that has proven anything before does!!!
Plenty of coaches know how to work the refs without going ballistic. It’s a skill to be able to do so with sufficient fire to get your way while also using tact. At this point refs are so exasperated with Hurley that they’re even less inclined to call it his way.
BIG EAST play doesn't get you a foul everytime you breathe on someone like they called in maui , they let you play basketball and not stop play for every ticky tack time you touched someone, that was Dan's problem. I'd would rather have a coach with a pulse & passion than 90% of them who don't say or do anything. Now that's MORE EMBARRASSING for a coach than what Hurley does. That's the job of a coach to stick up for the players with passion & not just sit back and watch the REF SHOW.
Except for the fact that Hurley lost them the game. It’s not the coaches job to lose games his players were in a position to win. Most coaches work the refs and successfully get their way without making such a show about it or burning bridges
The Blue Blood delegation has denied UConn their Gold "Blods" participation trophy. However...you will be thrilled to know that the delegation has voted unanimously for UCONN to receive the "Crybaby Coach" award. Congrats UCONN! And Crybaby Hurley!
There is a difference between being passionate and ceaselessly harassing what are effectively colleagues in the college basketball sphere…you were fine with it when it helped…now he is going to cost you games through getting T’ed up and destroying the confidence/team chemistry…your roster isn’t elite this year and his coaching won’t shine through…I do not wish Hurley was my coach
Every coach does this, Hurley has been this way his entire career. It’s only convenient to post the same topic ad naseum over and over again on the channel because it draws views. Meanwhile refs have zero accountability.
Remember when he walked right onto the court to yell at Zach Edey?
No other employee could behave like that and not get fired.
Hurley is embarrassing as fuck. Dude grabbed a Purdue player in the middle of a play in the national championship game. Totally unacceptable.
He also pushed Cam Spencer to a spot during live play in the same game
These refs have no balls and no courage to stand up to the big bad wolf that is Dan Hurley. These refs need to grow a pair and put him in his place. His antics are over the top
when you're winning, they excuse it; when you're struggling, the knives come out.
Only UConn people defend his antics. The downfall is starting
Honestly, I'm starting to see a lot of Bob Sr. coming out in Dan. I recall how Bob would get in the doc, "The Buck Stops Here" about his New Jersey program, and I'm really starting to see more of the ego from Dan coming out, and he seems to be using his recent success to feel like he can say or do whatever he wants. He doesn't seem to filter himself for character's sake.
He’s got his 15 or so players watching his example, not to mention however many kids watching at home, and what is it saying to them?
EVERY call is not life or death in basketball. Coaches make it seem like it is the end of time. It is a GAME. If my team wins or loses, I STILL get up and go to work the next day.

Oh God please. It’s three games, and they were right in it til the final play vs two of these teams (and both were not pushovers).
ESPN runs cover for him

Like the second coming of coach K.
Coach k never acted like that!!
Hurley is such a clownshow. I’d be embarrassed if I was a UConn fan.
I’ll take the 2 natties and Dan Hurley over your? What team in the last 2 years?
@ low class clownshow

Looks like he always did, nobody cared before, did I miss something? Why didn’t you guys call him out before?
I literally had all my uk basketball merch in boxes and ready to burn if Mitch had hired him
He’s always been a hot head. Bobby a spaz too.
Makes him great... Love Coach Hurley
@ I love the offensive stuff he does. I don’t think his temper is what makes him great.
Bobby is a total embarrassment as well
Whiny Hurley is such a sore front runner
And you guys are???

And whose job is it to control Hurley. Hurley clearly doesn’t have the self-control a coach should
So a grown ass man throwing himself on the ground and rolling around kicking and screaming like a child in public constitutes having a "fire" Yeah, naw. This aint it lol
@ his players and staff 😂 he’s the best coach in the game right now. Somehow he will have them in the final 4 again this year. Watch
I lost respect for Hummel for having a podcast with Goodman. These 2 clowns should talk about something else

Goodman was wearing the Brooklyn hat and Hummel he was spot on .

@@virgil5650 You mean that fella who brought his whole team back & not lose3 players to the NBA after the 1st Championship ya mean that fella ?
@@brunobagofdonuts9304 Yes him, not the crybaby
So Glad he didnt come to Kentucky ..and i dont even like him at all
He wouldn't mesh with Kentucky culture, at all
You guys were begging for him last summer. He doesn’t fit that diva culture he’s a Northeast guy and we love him in Connecticut. Let’s see what your coach that has proven anything before does!!!
Typical UK fan comment.
I have hope in Pope
Robbie Hummel you are wrong about the call, WRONG!!!!!!
Hummel is right about everything except the psychology. Whiners get more calls. The nice guys get screwed over.
Plenty of coaches know how to work the refs without going ballistic. It’s a skill to be able to do so with sufficient fire to get your way while also using tact. At this point refs are so exasperated with Hurley that they’re even less inclined to call it his way.
He’s a Duke guy! You’re really surprised that he acts like an A-hole? 🤷🏼♂️🗯️
Everyone loves to hate on the top dog. He got a little out of hand in Maui. He was chill in the last 2 games. Don’t be haters!!

He was on a different level in Maui, I get passion but that was too much
It’s a good thing you won’t have to play powerhouses like Colorado or Dayton in Big East play
Except for the fact that Hurley lost them the game. It’s not the coaches job to lose games his players were in a position to win. Most coaches work the refs and successfully get their way without making such a show about it or burning bridges
Everyone else can keep their Blue Blood status I can care less.. UConn is the Gold Blods 🏆💯

Amen!! Huskies
@@virgil5650I’d take the crybaby with the 2 natties over your?
UConn had a good run. He got players to stay who should have left. He's an overrated coach.
You two need to find something else to talk about, we love him in CT
Then CT has shit taste
Sets bad example to his young players too. Let’s whine, cry and berate people when things don’t go our way
Best coach in College basketball and everyone wishes they had him. We love him in Connecticut we’re passionate here !!
They are not talking about his coaching.
Plus he rages at every call.
Agree if he doesn’t start to grow some humility his ego is going to outgrow his God given ability. We’re all human NO ONE is except!!
There is a difference between being passionate and ceaselessly harassing what are effectively colleagues in the college basketball sphere…you were fine with it when it helped…now he is going to cost you games through getting T’ed up and destroying the confidence/team chemistry…your roster isn’t elite this year and his coaching won’t shine through…I do not wish Hurley was my coach
He’s not the best coach but he’s definitely the whiniest!
The call wasn’t horrible - stop giving him lax
Every coach does this, Hurley has been this way his entire career. It’s only convenient to post the same topic ad naseum over and over again on the channel because it draws views. Meanwhile refs have zero accountability.
No, not every coach does this. Hurley is a pretty big outlier in the big baby behavior department
Bobby Knight Jr. I LOVE It. Keady at Purdue was just as bad. I could name more . Get over it. People are SOFT!!!
