Do you like Dan Hurley?

[Another Fan]

I’ll certainly say for someone that doesn’t care much for college hoops he definitely makes it interesting to follow for me.

 

I have a lot of respect for how hard he worked in a lot of aspects of his life…. He’s been very open about depression and anxiety troubles he’s had.

 

On the other hand I think he’s really taken it too far this year with beating up the refs.  So I can see why people don’t like him.

I think he is obnoxious, and needs to cool it with the refs.

I have a lot of respect for Dan.  I know he had a lot of anxiety/depression issues back in the 90's when it wasn't really as socially acceptable to speak about as it is today that he had to work through.  Gave up playing college b-ball at Seton Hall for a year.   Stuff that still prob plagues him today.  That being said he more often that not now comes off as obnoxious to me vs passionate.

It’s UConn now, and it was Villanova before them.

 

Our big man tore his ACL right before the season, then our leading scorer missed a stretch of games. Stuff happens. 🤷‍♂️ Bills fans get that.

i didn’t know his full backstory. And there is no question he is a great coach. 
 

he just cannot treat the officials as he does. It is totally disrespectful to them and the game, and it is entirely ineffective. If anything, the refs probably now are harsher on his team because they hate him so much. 
 

he goes way past even a Bobby Knight line with the officials, and he needs to set a better example, especially to youth bball players out there. 
 

what is bonkers to me about Hurley and other similar head coaches is that they preach players being coachable and respecting coaches and respecting authority. Yet, they are entirely disrespectful of the refs who are in authority.

He’s a great coach and recruiter, but he’s a big floppin’ douche bag, IMHO.  He also has a very punchable face.

I honestly can’t believe I still watch the games, tbh.  Speaking of college coach d-bags, our guy Jim Boeheim was the heavyweight champ in his day.  😂

Blowing snot and picking his nose too. Not his most shining moments.

Considering his brother up and left UB I don't like any of the Hurleys.
