Official Boneyard / UConn Thread.

[Scotch]

I don't really read where he said pack it in. Read more to me that we have to get over our Uconn infatuation/, jealousy in terms of basketball. We don't breathe their air in basketball, and probably never will. Is our athletic future in a better spot? Definitely. Is our hoops program ever going to touch their accomplishments? Never.

My thing is that nobody on this board ever says we are on UConn’s level anymore. The opposite happens - people jump into this thread to remind everyone that we aren’t - which is tired and obvious. We should just stop discussing them entirely and focus on our program.

I agree 1000 percent that we should move on. That said the poster who said it last got a ton of sharpnel.

I admittedly am being a hypocrite right now because I've always said, if you don't like a thread just ignore it.

But God I wish this thread could just evaporate from the universe.

Made a little change.

This guy is insufferable

Dan Hurley files a complaint against I’m not sure who, regarding how often he is shown on broadcasts. Here is his laughable claim.

"I just wish they put the camera on the other coach more," he said. "... I just wish they would show these other coaches losing their minds at the officials in other Big East games that I'm coaching where ... I'm not talking to officials; I see the other coaches as demonstrative as I am.“

It’s even worse…he said something to the effect of “don’t turn your back on me, I’m the best fffffing coach in the game.”

Ego much pal?

 

[Hopkins16]

He actually said this:

UConn coach Dan Hurley owned up to berating an official during Tuesday night's 80-78 win over Butler after he was caught on camera telling them "don't turn your back on me, I'm the best coach in the --ing sport."

 

[RyanCuse44]

I see the refs protected Yukon on the 3 that Butler took at the top of the key in OT. Guy came right up on him and never gave him room to come down plus looked like he bumped him. Of course if the roles were reversed Whiner Hurley would have berated the refs.

No, he’s the biggest duushbag in the sport!

I mean he’s not wrong about being the best coach in the sport right now. But that would be bad broadcasting to miss him out there acting like Ben Stiller’s character in the Dodgeball movie.

 

[jncuse]

So now he’s playing the victim — they only follow me not others.

 

[JustPherU]

Not many characters left in college basketball so enjoy him while you can.If UCONN ever gets tired of his act I’ll pitch in to help pay his salary to coach the Orange.

[Doc5120]

This guy is the worst!

 

[SimonSays]

i hate him. still have his bum looking face burned in my brain after he beat us in MSG? or brooklyn something like that

 

[sufandu]

He's got a point. I don't mind a coach giving it back to an oppposing fan.

 

[sutomcat]

Good for him. Does he know he is also bald?

 

[JarHeadJim]

What a jerk! Wish he was our Coach!

 

[Cuse12]

This guy is the worst!

If he was our guy we would be loving every second of it. He has receipts. Winning cures all. I envy their program. Hurts to say, but let’s be real.

 

[donniesyracuse]

I thought I had the UConn thread on ignore.

 

[Brooky03]

“You gotta love Hurley”

No I don’t

With confidence, no. I’m not particularly old, but I remember a time when winning didn’t allow you to act like a cocky jackass. Who cares about receipts

in a perfect world you have both, a respected HC and a winning HC.

At this point give me a guy who just wins (as long as he isn’t doing something illegal). Again, we are all lying saying we wouldn’t support him as HC here. If he won back to back nattys he would be walking on water here and rightfully so. Winning cures all!

It's like these coaches that are always out of the coach's box. I'm glad our coaches don't do it. However, I've never seen a ref call anything on it.

So if we had a coach that pushed a few buttons and won, i think I could accept that. Especially now.

Jay Wright's not walking through the door anytime soon. And what about Kyle Neptune who many people said was in over his head. So far this season he has beat Cincy, Yukon, Xavier and St John's. Who would not want that. Stuff like that gives me hope.
