OT: Should Hurley have gotten a Technical Foul?
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
The dude is out there. I don’t think he should have gotten a tech but he can’t do that. He's like a kid whose parents let him do anything he wants. Eventually something has to happen. You can’t put your face on another persons face, especially the ref. Just bizarre behavior.
Listened to the Duke radio call and they were crying for a technical because when the shot was made a UConn player jumped on the court.
Your routine is getting old.
We get it. You are the perfect fan.
Other fans suck.
They like Pike and EO, which is a ridiculous take, but if that makes you feel better about your fanhood, nobody will stop you.
Plenty of people disagree with you. Rules are rules.
Heard that too, but did not see video.
In that particular moment, there was a lot of latitude.
It’s doubly funny because they picked out Malachi Smith (former Rutgers transfer target lol) as the player that came off the bench, but he was on the floor for that possession.
From today's WSJ: "Demonstrative Dan Hurley may be an acquired taste—this is a coach who spends much of the game looking like a guy who can’t believe your table is ready before his—but his success is hard to argue. " GREAT LINE from Jason Gay!
if you call a tech there the entire building and everyone on TV better know exactly why in the instant you blow your whistle...
you don't call one because a bench guy put two feet on the court for a half a second or whatever the hell this is above...
it's one of the biggest shots in the history of the tournament and the players have fully decided the outcome don't make it about yourself as a ref.

Danny has been a head case for some time but he’s an unbelievable basketball junkie, coach and motivator. That being said, that’s a tech all day everyday if he made physical contact with the ref.
He’s a winner by any measure but he needs to meet with a mental health professional asap.

My take on Dan Hurley:
He is the 80s movie a$$hole everyone would love to punch in the face if given the chance.
With that said, all he does is win and if he didn't we wouldn't give two sh!ts about him.

NFW in that moment in that spot. Risky of him yes but im starting to find him entertaining. He's Tiger Woods wothout the flipped cars.
3 Final 4's in 4 years, back to back championships
His players love him, his fans love him, the coaching fraternity respects the hell out of him.
Remarkable coaching job yesterday.
Read his latest book, he pulls no punches on himself.
I sure do wish he was coaching the Scarlet Knights

He should be suspended from their next game. You don’t get to physically intimidate the referees.
Imagine if the ref did that to him. He’d be out of a job.

Even if the ref said “When I take a leak and look down I see your head” you can’t make contact with a ref.
He lucked out on not being t-ed up. Can’t stand Duke and happy they lost but Danny is not bigger than the game.

That’s a technical any regular season game and probably any NCAA game if more than a few seconds left on the clock.
So YES.
Hurley is unhinged.
I dgaf how much he wins. Total dork and a proven to be a sore loser when he does lose. Those are the worst of the worst humans.

When did the head on headrest thing happen? If it would have decided the game (last seconds) I say no technical. Otherwise it absolutely is a technical. Guy is a strange dude.
edit: see that it happened after the last second shot. So No technical in my view. Can’t decide a game like that. With that said he should get a 1 game suspension to start the next season just as a message (maybe a weak one) that he can’t act like a buffoon.

No technical but a 1 game suspension?
Doesn’t matter if there was next to no time left on the clock imo. In basically any sport if you make contact with a ref / official it is an automatic penalty and even an ejection.
He should have been t’ed up and tossed but unfortunately the refs had no balls.
Context matters, and cant give a T in that situation but man he is really pushing it. Justice would be for next season all the refs get together and put Danny on the shortest leash ever. It's crazy he did what he did, and unacceptable.
Strange dude indeed
honestly - just the coat hanging off his shoulder is weird. I’ve never seen any one do that before under any circumstances let alone on national tv. What was that?
but the “forehead touch” thing … beyond bizarre.

Randy Ayers - the ref - is the ref who screwed us and cost us a ncaa berth with the non call at Ohio state several years ago.
He was also asked by Seth Greenberg today about the incident, Ayers reply " what are you talking about"
Accordingly to Mad Dog today, Ayers and Hurley have a good, professional relationship.
Too much wokeness going on out there over this
Play ball !
I said the same thing when that shot went in.
I didn't think UConn was coming back from that deficit.
Give it a rest. Real story is Duke blew the game.
"Most games, I'm in a dialogue with those refs. And they're dialoguing with me. Cracking jokes, busting balls. It's not all animus all the time out there. It's a relationship, and this game is all about relationships. So I feel comfortable, when over those same refs blow a call, jumping on their asses. Telling them what I think.
"Then going right back to joking with them.
"Most people don't see all that subtext and context and context. They just see me raging like a madman.
"The refs see it clearly. The do. And honestly I believe that eight out of every ten refs thing the villainous way I'm portrayed in the media is b******t. They like me. Not to be Sally Field about it, they really, really like me.
"And I like them. Mostly."

The ref said is was nothing and barely remembered it. He has a relationship with Hurley and regardless knows it’s not a spot to make that call.
ref said it was nothing on national tv close the thread up or just admit you’re a Hurley hater

He can't keep going at the rate he's going, insane wise, and keep his sanity
My hope, and admittedly it's not something I ever anticipate happening, is that he burns himself out at UConn and comes back to Jersey
Gains perspective, wants to come home, and coaches here OTB, albeit in a slightly more toned-down version
Regardless, I'd give zero F's if he was crazy here - as long as he won, and won big, that's all I, and many others, would care about

You're right. I can't see him coaching for 20 years with that intensity. But I don't think a benzodiazepined version work.
I think it'd be more adapting then changing
E.G., the expectations OTB would be a lot less then in Stoors, so I'd assume he'd also be calmer just b/c of that
Again, this is likely a pipe dream, but it's fun to dream nonetheless
