Coach Hurley

I watched this game. And WOW his antics were a bit over the top in my opinion. He did seem like a douche bag and should have gotten multiple T's. I thought Memphis was the better team and with better athletics. Glad UConn got beat, no way they're a top 5 team.
I don’t know man. If we kept Cal around as long as we did, I think 1 title from Hurley would have bought him at least 7-8 years.
Cut the Yankee crap. I was born and raised in Ohio, then moved to Connecticut for high school, but chose to attend UK because I fell in love with Rupp's Runts and Cawood in 1966. I have always bled blue and will until the day I die. I had to put up with the Yank crap at times during my days in Lexington, but thought that sort of blight on southern culture and its schools had long passed. Whether it's a joke or not, and I'll give these posters the benefit of the doubt, It's still in very poor taste and the same is true, BTW, of northerners who call all southerners rednecks, yahoos and the like. It's just bad form. Can't we finally end the Civil War?

Hurley is an insufferable prick. He is going to start getting the " Cal " whistle by the refs
We can only hope. I think he’s such a prick because he’s whipped by his wife and he can’t go home and run anything so he takes it out on everybody else.
Probably not, but to claim anyone is winning or not winning anything in November is wild.
I smell a loser who is so shallow that they judge others on where they are from versus who they actually are. Thank god my only interaction with you closed minded hypocrites is on this forum. Who TF still calls people Yankees?
Someone's triggered. Are you upset there's a baseball team with the "Y word" lol in the northeast and thats derogatory to you?
Lololololololololol
I was thinking the same thing. Will be interesting watching how UConn is officiated moving forward. As we learned with John Higgins—the zebras are a brotherhood. You devour one of their own, and they’ll return the favor.
I guess it went over your head, but that was kind of my point to the guy who called Hurley a Yankee A hole.
I’ve always thought he was a crybaby, I’m glad things worked out like they did, the last coach here thought he was bigger than the program after winning a title. The name Hurley will always be associated with Duke even though his brother was the one who played there. He just would not have fit in here, he belongs up north with his attitude.
Triggered? I find it hilarious that there are still people who call people Yankees. These same people would probably take offense if someone up north called them a redneck. Of course, most “Yankees” probably wouldn’t think to call people that based solely on where they are from, but I guess some are still upset that they cannot own people.
Pope reminds me of Brad Stevens with his demeanor. I’m so ridiculously happy with him so far, hope it holds up
Look, you got triggered by a common term used in a non-political way. It wasn't that deep. Stop creating an argument, and just let it go.
Point taken. I was in too much of a hurry, but I still recall how blacks from opposing teams were treated at Memorial Coliseum and the time Tom Payne saw the 'N' word written on the green board in the UK locker room at halftime of our game at UT in 1971.
He’ll get his fair share of calls from intimidation and back to back national championship respect, I feel.
My biggest concern is will Pope get his fair share by only coaching our team positively and never berating the refs?
I’m certain he’ll go ballistic at times (he got one technical last year), but overall his style is, if he remains calm and doesn’t question every single call that goes against us, so will our players.
And at the end of the game, the refs won’t decide the game.
The constant berating didn’t work for Cal…I think that was evident.

what he did was throw a tantrum and get a technical that handed the game to Memphis, there is no way to excuse that.
If you don't think that a lot of people in the Northeast are in truth assholes, I don't know what to tell you. Your sophist nonsense kind of reinforces that stereotype.
You should live in Florida. They're insufferable down here.
Hurley said the kid on Memphis’ team was doing a ‘half-ass’ block out. I don’t love Memphis by any means but you don’t call out another team’s kid like that just because you didn’t get your way. That is pretty terrible.
Yeah. I know how coach L got away with it from the old guard refs. K came up as a Knight disciple when that behavior was more common and acceptable…but the time the new era rolled in, K was a living legend and considered untouchable. He also did it in a semi muted less demonstrative way.
I have no F’n idea why they let Hurley act like that all game yelling profanities at the refs and throwing stomping, arm flailing temper tantrums. No other coach has a leash like that and Hurley was a nobody 3 years ago and most the old guard refs that grew up in that era of bully coaches are retired
No sir we ALL didnt want him. He is egomaniac narcissist. We just got rid of one,we didnt need another one
Hurley's best days are behind him! Good to see him show a$$ and look like the pr!ck he totally is! Dodged a bullet with this fool!
Put me in the boat of those who wanted him when Cal, thankfully, left, but I honestly believe it has worked out for the best for UK.
Coach Pope just exudes class while still being confident and calm.

I moved to the Triangle area of NC back in 96, after spending 2 years outside of Philly. Moved to a suburb of Raleigh named Cary. Cary was an old small town (oldest public school in the state) that has exploded the past 35 years to now probably 200K. But when I moved there in 96, it was told to me what "Cary" really stands for, "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees" 🤣. And you still hear people say that today, and it's pretty accurate, as I would estimate that well over 1/2 the people that live there come from Ohio, PA, NJ, NY, or Mass.
