This is not to say Hurley is great, far from it, but I've never bought into a coaching "personality" to determine whether I like or dislike them. Bob Knight, Coach K, Roy Williams, Calhoun, Pitino, Boeheim, all can be considered aholes in some way shape or fashion, but for whatever reason, I like them. Calipari, Self, & Bruce Pearl, OTOH, also great at coaching...but I loathe them. Go figure.
I know some folks here hated Jaime Dixon at Pitt and frankly, I didn't see why. He was a good coach who maximized his talent and didn't seem like such a bad guy. If Hurley acts like a fool on the sidelines, so what? If he was OUR fool and winning games, we'd be making excuses for him. JMHO
