Coach Dan Hurley can grow on you faster than your own hair. He is a true motivator. As accomplished as he has quickly become, he still sounds like a genuine student of the game with passion, honesty, confidence, and true humbleness. Those who play for him must get many wow moments, and a lifetime of memories that may enable them to succeed against the biggest odds. Go UConn.
What a great interview! Hurley is a sharp dude. I never considered the things he is talking about regarding the value of kids that don't play. He really opened my eyes.
The mindset of staying loyal to players already recruited will result in players running through walls for you. Hurley is a "player's coach." In a culture of "chasing the bag "(money) getting talent to remain a "one uniform guy" is Bobby Fischer-type sh*t.
Recognizing Jim Calhoun (banner behind him) was not random. Jim Calhoun was one of the greatest program builders of "all time" not my words but Coach K's words.
