Hurley Costs Us Another Game. Will the reporters ask some tough questions?

[CL82]

This post narrowly beats out Chief claiming he's rewritten COVID protocols for the state of Connecticut for post of the weekend.

I can't believe a Power 5 AD hasn't cold-called you with a head coaching offer with that resume.

Uh, did that actually happen? I must have missed it.

It did, there was one earlier post in the thread as well besides this one

Hurley Costs Us Another Game. Will the reporters ask some tough questions?

Ball was clearly off UConn. Dan, shut up and coach. Your offense (I use the term loosely) is awful. This is NCAA Division I, not the Rucker summer league. How about some designed plays, not..................... let's see who can go one-on-one, play matador defense, and shoot bricks for free throws? It's not only bad, it's ugly. This might be my final men's hoops posting, as I can't stand watching any more lousy basketball.

BTW.............................I know a wee bit about basketball, having played for Digger Phelps.

And I do love UConn hockey.

How was it that you were in the Vietnam war and also played for Digger Phelps? His coaching career started 1970 and the war ended 1973. Kind of seems like you’d either be in Vietnam or in the states playing BB?

Digger first year coaching in college was the Penn Frosh in 1966-1967. I was a member of that team. I left Penn in 1969, enlisted in the US Army, went through OCS and served as a lieutenant in Vietnam in '70-71.

Thank you for your service

Oh my, way too many posters that think they are coaches !!!!

 

[uconngb]

Oh my, way too many posters that think they are coaches !!!!

Or maybe too many fans that think they should be getting more from the current coach?? This is a fan message board after all. God forbid there are criticisms!

 

[BigEastCT]

? They don’t even play the same positions

Agreed but there is nothing wrong with having two PGs on the floor and one playing off guard.

I understood if one is a PowerForward/Center than we could not do that of course

Hurley's ability to recruit and train the players is great. His game day coaching is limited. Give me perno for game day coaching. he couldn't recruit against Carnisecca, Thompson, etc.

But against a Seton Hall team that plays
6’2”
6’6”
6’6”
6’10”
7’2”
No.

"They said it was a bench, that our bench was too boisterous.....That's a tough one, obviously, that is my first technical of the season because the one at Creighton...they can put that on the books like I got one but that wasn't a technical."

 

[Jimdish255]

I understand the issue some have with DH not calling a TO during Seton Hall's early run but I am sure he was waiting for the under 16 TO and coaches (been there) hate to burn one so early in the game. Time outs are like gold at the end of close games, I always wanted at least two in my pocket for the last minute.

He rarely has to be concerned about that especially in the first half. And this assumes timeouts have some value which half of the posters here seem to be arguing against. Not getting down 15-20 points early is exactly what timeouts are for. And that Technical Foul was a selfish bit of poor judgement. More coaching and less theatrics.

 

[KembaStepback]

To me - Hurley was playing Adams because of his defense or until Gaffney played with some passion and aggression. This finally happened against SH. I really hope the light just went on for that kid because if it did we're going to be DANGEROUS when Bouknight comes back. A small ball lineup of cole, gaff, bouk, martin and Sanogo/Whaley sounds fun .

Chris Beard lost a game for Texas Tech tonight. He lost it. Nothing to be gained from a technical with 23.5 seconds left in the game.
