Hurley & Basketball Director in hot water?
- Thread starter Blue_2_the_bone
- Start date
According to this poster, part of it is true. I don't care either way.
I know those two titles will go a long way for any coach.. but Hurley's mouth and attitude have a real chance to combat that. Say he loses early round next year.. after another year of whining, flipping off fans, chastising the refs, the media, etc.. how much runway does he really have? It might sound silly to think a coach could only have a few years of goodwill after winning two titles.. but Hurley isn't any coach. Can't imagine a ton of recruits (or officials) were turned on by him after this season.
Anyone taking them seriously? Yes. Definitely dangerous. Grain of salt always. Just like water cooler talk
The guy is a well-known fake reporter who takes little nuggets and makes outlandish tweets about them.
The police are not involved. Nobody is investigating Hurley. UCONN's "athletic department" is not being investigated by the Raleigh police. Literally NONE of that is true. The ONLY part of it that is true is that the SID screamed at the reporter. That is the only portion of the tweet that is factual. Twitter is an absolute MESS of misinformation, and people fall for it over and over again,

Water cooler talk doesn’t have concerted efforts by nations to undermine countries and create dissention and turmoil for geo political gain.
I have ten years of data and polling done by very smart people who get paid lots of money.
Problem is 90% of our news/businesss is now online so that doesn’t work.

When a person refers to himself or herself as an idiot, it's safe to assume they are not an idiot.
If they refer to themselves as a genius...it's 100% that they are not a genius.
Ahh, it’s my own fault. I’m usually much better than that. Was heading to bed. Saw it retweeted. Was tired so I only checked out just a couple of prior post and shared it. Figured if it wasn’t true, it would get sorted out by when I read it in the morning.(didn’t take that long, lol) Reason I usually comment in threads instead of starting them. 😂😂
Or, and this is gonna be the hard part for someone like you that evidently believes any rando on Twitter (and then defends it), you could have the self-awareness to know I already have...and it doesn't exist. Because "ABC News" didn't report anything close to UConn being investigated or anything close to that.
If only the person you responded to could have your outlook on the matter. Lol. Goodness.
Twitter sucks for stuff like this, btw. People get their kicks in some really odd ways.
Can't wait to see 10 years of data and polling specific to "water cooler talk" from you. Is this recent water cooler talk or from 10 years ago when people still had water coolers to stand around?
It's a message board. Don't sweat it. If people want to be outraged about something, they'll find it regardless. Some people are thin-skinned and looking for a place to make others feel bad. I've been on the UK boards for over 20 yrs and it hasn't changed much.
One day they'll moan about what you did post, next day they'll whine because you didn't summarize all of something behind a pay/firewall, then they'll btch if don't post links to something when it would take them 2 seconds to look it up themselves. That's why I left this board for a while. Lots of negs/nags.
There are some great people here, though. I may very well not be one of them according to many. Lol.
You're good buddy. If nothing else it opens the discussion again of what a tool Hurley is turning out to be. Guy is deteriorating in age as we speak. Currently at a 13 year old mentality.
This is true, it was the sports information department who threatened the reporter and the TV station down in N.C.,
It was on the ticker on the morning news pards. I don’t give a shit what u think. I was just stating what I saw.

WHELP. Looks like it's real. Unless they apologized for a figment of the collective imagination.

It's real. Now whether they're being investigated or not, is another matter. But they apologized today.
Guys, we need to read the thread, this is not complicated.
The yelling at the reporter happened, that has never been in doubt from the beginning of the thread.
The part that has always been misinformation was the police being involved, "investigating" the athletic department and Dan Hurley, etc.
See my post below along with about 100 others.
Turns out they ARE investigating the athletic dept over the threats the Sports Information Director (part of the athletic department) made towards a journalist. Sucks to only read things a certain way instead of actually using your noggin to reason WHAT KIND of investigation in might be.
There are 2 things here that will be investigated.
1. Hurley made disparaging remarks not once, but twice as he walked into and through the tunnel. He should at minimum be fined for it, as they do and have done to others.
2. The manner in which he did so reflects very p
Poorly on the NCAA and UConn as a member institution. He may be hit with a suspension because of it as well.
3. The threats by the SID may or may not be an NCAA violation, but it may bring about an investigation into whether this is a pattern for the program. (I doubt this video would've been published if shot in UConn's home arena.)
4. It's being investigated by police as well, with most of the work already done for them, but I don't know if they can pursue it if the journalist accepts an apology before it goes much farther.
