This insufferable gremlin is at it again. So glad he isn't representing Kentucky basketball.

Jeez, those two titles went to his head in an awful way.

Me too. Incredibly arrogant comment.

Bigger price than Pitino was when he was younger

Arrogant prick. No one yells that that has ANY humility.

 

[CatEye2010]

Such a pre-madonna!

This is who he is. He’s always been that guy. He’s a very good coach. But he would not have lasted here.

He had a magical 2 seasons with a special team much like Donovan did at Fl. But Donovan did have a prior FF.

I doubt Hurley ever makes another one.

I recently saw an interview when Tim Donaghy talked about how the refs banded together to teach Iverson a lesson after he called them out. I wouldn't lose any sleep if Hurley started getting the same treatment.

Lightning in a bottle. I’m willing to bet, he wouldn’t win as much as Pope has with the team we have this year. Matter of fact, he probably has more talent at UConn right now.

Bold strategy. We know what happens when you start pissing refs off.

 

[CrimsonCats]

I’m not sure I’m willing to take that bet about him being a flash in the pan yet. He’s a very good coach and possibly a great one, and I think we’ll hear more from UConn on the national stage in the next few years. He’s always had a prickly personality to put it mildly though, and that started well before the back to back titles. I’m honestly fine letting it be another fanbase who has to defend some of his antics.

I agree with you 100%. Look at his record before the last 3 seasons and you would be wondering how he had the same win percentage as Crean his first 12 seasons and now everyone thinks he is the 2nd coming of Wooden.

I think it's got to be intentional on his part. To me, you keep "T"-ing him up and get him thrown out of games until the behavior stops. There seems to be that Knight-Kryzewski School that you scare the referee out of either making calls or missing calls because they can't concentrate on what they are supposed to be doing and he's going beyond them. It's violates everything about good sportsmanship but unfortunately, it's been shown to be effective.
