Seems to have got to big for his britches, very arrogant
Coach Hurley
- Thread starter kygent2
- Start date
UCon players are just as animated as Hurley.
I'd laugh if his wife divorced him and moved to Kentucky.
Eh a majority of us really wanted him before Pope was hired. He would have been "our" a$$hole.
He could win every game and I would still be embarrassed to have him on my sideline. Throws more tantrums than my 2 year old.
Yeah, I said I wanted Hurley. He is a little crazy on the sidelines. Whines like Coach K. Glad we did not get him. Extremely happy with Coach Pope. The divine choice.
Watch any UConn game. This is what he does every single game. Same energy and jawing at the refs immediately from the opening tip. His 2 titles validate his behavior and antics.
If Hurley would've come to UK he would've had to win the national title every single season in order for us fans to put up with his antics
Fwiw, he's always been a hot head, but you (uconn) kind of put up with it because he's winning. He's going to have a long leeway from these two titles.. but his hot headed manner and bad attitude will ultimately be his down fall.
He did exactly what I saw Coach K do for all these years.. when his player fouls, he never goes to the player to chew him out, instead he goes right to the officials. That's a page right out of Ks play book. The problem is Uconn isn't Duke and Hurley doesn't have that "kiss the ring" sort of clout.

I didn't hurley 's are first class prcks
I wanted Hurley but he'd be an NBA coach in a short time.
With Pope he's a UK lifer as long as he's performing.

I didn't want him at the time, and glad we didn't get him. Dude is a class A jerk that can't control his emotions. That nut case has too much Bobby Knight in him. He would've have been an embarrassment. At least to me. But to each their own.
We had a clown on the sideline we sure did not need another one
We had one for 15 years, so it would have simply been status quo.
He is worse than Coach K and that is saying a lot.
I agree, but now he’s just an asshole. Lay on the hate!
For a neutral observer, it’s really a wild display imo. His behavior(no idea on language) was deserving of multiple technicals today alone.
Yeah you could see that start seeping through last year. Saw way too many glory reads about himself and became really self aware of his greatness. Was really prickish all tourney last year.
Yeah right, she runs that man. She’s got it made. Don’t have to do crap and get her way and pampered I’m sure.
He does now, don’t think these back to back titles won’t make it that way. He’s a Duke brother don’t forget. He also the most successful coach going as far as titles.
Open question ❓
... If UConn was "comically bad" winning by 35, is losing by 2 an improvement ?
Food for thought...

He deserved to be thrown out of the game long before the technical foul he received (and cost UConn the game). Just a complete asshole to the officials. Good grief.
You, me, and everyone else would take #9 and #10 for an over the top hot head on the bench lol
Yea we all wanted him when Cal departed, but I am so glad he didn't come.
He looks like a whiny bitch on the bench and watch and see if he doesn't start getting the Cal whistle soon.
May have gotten it in this game today.

I saw him on multiple occasions saying things to refs such as “you don’t belong here” and “you are a zero”. When you blatantly disrespect someone in their profession, sometimes they get bitter and do not favor you lol
I'm sure he can get there.. but I don't think he is yet. He's been abrasive with more than just officials and I think he's doing it too early in his career.. he's rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.
I think Hurley came back to college to go for the threepeat. When that doesn’t work out, I really wouldn’t be surprised if he jumps to the NBA.
Idk, man. He’s a straight up bag! I’d rather have Pope. Not really close. Dude caught lightning in a bottle IMO. He’s a complete idiot!
He would really have to work on his temperament to last in the NBA wow
What does he have to be upset about? Dude is coaching the 2 time defending champions and it’s not even thanksgiving yet.
Wave that rebel flag proudly! Don’t let them a hole Yankees in them fancy suits and big words tell you nothing!
Good coach but doesn't change the fact he's an asshat clown
hurly may be, right now, the best coach in college.
with that said im so glad he did not come here. northeastern attitudes dont fly in seky.
as long as they win we can tolerate it bit as with cal when you start losing that attitude wont fly

In regards to Pope vs Hurley.. I'll start by prefacing this statement that we will *likely* never see two titles from Pope. Even two Final 4s might be more unlikely than not, over a 10-12 year span..
But.. we beat the supposed best team in the nation (Duke), and Uconn just lost to Memphis. We have a coach who might very well have a system that's just as lethal as Hurleys.. and he's able to do it with grace and humility. Which is something that can go a long way for not only recruiting, but how officiating can help (or hurt) you, media love, etc.
Too early to say I'd rather have Pope over Hurley, because Hurley has two titles and that's so hard for any coach to get.. but man, I'm close. Hurley might have found his lightning in the bottle, like someone else said, and it might be gone already. Pope is showing all the right signs of a guy who can not only coach with the best of them, but recruit, have a modern offense, and have the right attitude and temperament.
I certainly don't have any more feelings of "missing out" on Hurley, that's for sure.

I smell a yankee.
We have suits and extraordinary vocabularies. Do yankees know what waspers are? Doubtful.
All Hurleys are whiney Yankee a-holes.
Bobby says hey.
