@JTsounderFC @11point7 So you’ve never seen someone do bush league shit before? Being naive doesn’t mean it’s not common, I’m not going to stand on the line and assume someone won’t run through me

Dan Hurley is a gross guy. This video proves why. What an ego.
He's inarguably the most overrated coach in all of sports right now.
Don't get me wrong - Hurley is a decent enough coach. He recruits well. He uses the portal. He had two historically stacked rosters in 2023 and 2024 and he won with them. Four of his five starters from the 2024 title team were drafted, including Stephon Castle at number four and Donovan Clingan at number seven.
When you have that much talent, you're supposed to win.
And the one year he didn't have that level of roster? UConn was an 8-seed in 2025 and lost to Florida in the second round. Hurley fought back tears in the postgame interview and later admitted he thought about leaving UConn.
Thought about leaving. One year after he turned down $70 million from the Lakers because he loved college coaching so much.
But here's the thing that actually makes Hurley hard to watch: the sideline act.
This season alone, he was ejected and fined $25,000 by the Big East for aggressively confronting referee John Gaffney during a game at Marquette. He got a formal warning during the tournament for charging onto the court to argue a call. And in the Elite Eight, after UConn's game-winning shot against Duke, he went forehead-to-forehead with referee Roger Ayers in what everyone watching saw as a headbutt.
He later said he thought the ref was coming over to "chest-bump" him.
That referee will not be working the Final Four.
At the Maui Invitational in November 2024, Hurley dropped to his knees after an offensive foul call, drew a technical, and the two extra free throws gave Memphis a four-point lead with 40 seconds left in overtime. UConn lost 99-97. The margin was the technical.
Yahoo Sports ran a piece on him this week titled: "When is enough, enough?" Former Michigan coach John Beilein publicly criticized his behavior. And Hurley's response? He says he's not changing.
The full breakdown of why Hurley's resume isn't as impressive as you think and why the sideline act is getting worse is here:
itsgame7.com/news/dan-hurle…
People who know Hurley off the court say he's "endlessly thoughtful, soft-spoken, and charming." Good for him. Most people manage to be the same person in both settings.
He's good at his job. Nobody is saying otherwise. But "good at his job" and "generational coaching genius who gets to headbutt referees without consequences" are two very different things. The championship runs had more to do with the players on the floor than the guy screaming on the sideline. And the one year those players weren't there, they were an 8-seed.
UConn plays for the title Monday night. Hurley will pace the sideline, scream at officials, and make the whole thing about himself.
He'll have earned the title if they win.
The behavior? Not so much.

@DanWolken @NoahB77_ “Guy who played at freaking UAB” odd way to say you never watched him at UAB. Under recruited means nothing when you perform at his level
English

Michigan’s best players are a guy Mick Cronin buried, a guy who was a bust at North Carolina, a guy who came off the bench at Illinois and a guy who played at freaking UAB.
Get outta here.

Sad state of affairs: the team about to win the national championship is just the best batch of transfers money can buy. Not much integrity in that.

@The_HtownHusker @HaloHangover @yallbestupid @JanuarMay @pitchergami Forgive him, he’s an Angels fan. They don’t know what to believe
English

@HaloHangover @yallbestupid @JanuarMay @pitchergami Ask yourself that question because wtf are you waffling about.
English

@TheConnorPils Yes. But none of that matters when you can’t defend an off ball screen.

@dailysportszone @tristansautism @shadybiev You’re not wrong but I don’t think you’re understanding him. The line is a hedge for themselves
English

@tristansautism @shadybiev They aren’t setting a line 3+ points let alone more than 1+ point off from what the market is. The line isn’t 3.5 because that is a god awful line. They’re just setting themselves up to get hit harder by sharps wagering big money on a shit spread.

@TheLoneStarStar @OccupyLF Isn’t omaha? Don’t tell the official Texas baseball account that or they’ll tweet out Omaha cleats before losing a home regional to a satellite school

@patrickbraun1 @Drewtamu No. Play the hot hand otherwise the pen will continue to be taxed

@Drewtamu Leave him where he is. It’s working. A W counts the same no matter which day it is.

@BarstoolTexasAM Been saying for weeks.. sims isn’t a Sunday guy. Give him Friday or at least Saturday

@gavinmchughh Such narrative speakers. Just alone on speaking on the previous UConn/illinois matchup
English

@dimpledwonder @CFBReport @Doc_Texas @LSUfootball Pretty believable considering neither QB can read a defense to save their lives
English

@CFBReport @Doc_Texas @LSUfootball It’s actually unbelievable how terrible these teams ended up being

@cartel_ozark @Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce So UConn wins with less? Hurley really is the goat.
English

@cartel_ozark @Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce Great way to change the narrative from develop stars to recruit stars
English

@Luke524229 @billybotchic @bluestdeuce Duke has a ton. Calipari guys as well. Kansas . List goes on. uconn doesn’t get future nba stars or develop them into nba stars. Career college guys like kariban who will be selling insurance in a few months 🤣
