I don't see that changing, that's his style whether it works on not. I would bet it sells with recruits and their parents though.Just watch him interact with the players when they come out of the game. Clap Clap Clap.
These players have heard that applause all of their basketball lives. Someone needs to tell them "Here is what you suck at. Fix it or sit."
He isn’t this is another bad post.Didn't seem like a brother when he got on Martin.
I dont see him as a buddy buddy type at all.
Hate to break it to you, but this isn’t the movie Coach Carter. College basketball is a multi-billion dollar business, not a daycare.He needs to watch and learn from Calhoun tapes. Those who do not perform, sit.
Too much buddy-buddy with his players. These players need a father figure, not a brother.
Last year on Feb 12th we were playing our 24th game. The year before we had played 24 games on that date. Year before that 25, before that 24.My biggest issue with Coach is his constant tinkering with the starting lineup. Its mid February and he's still switching players in and out of the lineup and then starts mixing up the rotations (no 6th, 7th, or 8th man.
I know some of its dictated on who's playing well and practice but his roster is what it is. Switching out Cole for Gaff, Polley for Adams for Polley may seem justified, but what impact does the uncertainty and inconsistency have on his players. More importantly how can they gel and play well together with so many changes?
I want to see a constant starting 5 with his best players and roll with them. Then substitute the best 6th man, then best 7th man and so forth. And adjust only for foul situations or if the game necessitates a guard or a big. Let the same crew grow, learn and develop with one another.
Just saying field 'the team' and then enhance or correct it as the game flows and stop with the game to game opening changes. Not every young player adjusts well to uncertainties with their playing time/schedule. This leads to fear of making mistakes, and a lot of unwillingness to take shots thinking if they miss they will be on the bench. Its like watching safety ball or defensive ball (while on offense).

Yes. A terrible pass meant for Sanogo that ended up at the Dunkin Donuts Center.I missed the ass rearing on Martin.
Was is it a specific play by Martin that got Huey spooled up?

I believe Hurley can do the job as soon as he realizes that he is not at a mid-major anymore. He must demand more if UCONN is to return to the elite. He knows how to get players and how to put an organization together. I think the problem is that at a Rhode Island, you get second tier players who are hungry- see for example his transfers from Howard and URI = motivated players. At UCONN your recruits been pampered because they were better than those around them. You can't pamper players if you want to elevate them. Calhoun and Auriemma proved that. Get tough with your best.Who would you hire in DH’s place? Calhoun isn’t coming back
Martin threw an entry pass off the backboard sparring a PC fast break. As we went to media timeout they showed Hurley giving him an ear full.I missed the ass rearing on Martin.
