Message: [QUOTE="M2MPrinciples, post: 5043257, member: 928"] If you watch any of the full access coverage of UConn, you will see their players talking about how Hurley runs them mad at practice. They had a 3-hour practice the day before playing Creighton. He is super hard on them and holds them to an exceedingly high standard. The players talk about how much they love the preparation and process and how the staff breaks everything down for them. They know that if they practice hard and allow themselves to be challenged they will be successful because they have a tremendous amount of trust in the staff. They feel Hurley totally has their backs. They don't whine to the refs nearly as much as other teams' players do (including ours) because they know Hurley will take care of it. They want to be in a foxhole with him. Every basketball office should be watching UConn film and figuring out what they can learn from them. [/QUOTE]
