Hurley to UCONN
 

No more listening to his whining twice a year.

Hurley is a jerk, no problem with him being gone. Hope Rhody is able to stay strong. Need to keep the top of the conference in good shape.

A jerK?
 

What is the basis of this "Hurley is a jerk" stuff? I have no familiarity with him.

Now we just need UMBC's coach Odom to RI to complete the picture.

FYI - Loosing Hurley, Smart,and Wade is not a good thing for us. We need the best coaches to stay in the A-10 and make the league better over all. The more coaches use the league as a stepping stone - the harder it is to be looked at as anything but that dreaded mid-major label.

The fact that he's a jerk.

C'mon
 

You can do better than that. Seriously, what's the issue?

He is a chronic cryer to the refs. To the point of being a jerk.

You follow UConn - you'll find out soon enough.

Early in his career at URI, Hurley was T'd up a bunch and came across as a spoiled little brat on the sidelines. i think he received a talking to by the powers to be a Rhody and I think he toned it down a lot. He still is a little demonstrative for me and many others but I don't think he has been that bad lately. His past still haunts him.

He did. I know some alums who told me the same thing. Pretty sure it was a year to two ago, if my memory serves me correctly.

good luck to Hurley. Now was the right time

Now was the right time because UConn was offering big $s. There is still talent at URI and more was coming in.

He was/is a jerk .... It's easier to NOT be a jerk when you are winning and RI won this year quite a bit .... hence he was not as big a Jerk this year ....

If you have a few tuff seasons you'll remember these posts! :bang:

So far, so good,....
 

Sounds a lot like Jim Calhoun to me. To Calhoun losing was unacceptable. Period! He often acted like a maniac...but ranks as one of the most successful coaches ever.

Calhoun could recruit...develop players...and was a great game coach. When JC arrived at Storrs UConn was in far worse shape than either of Hurley's previous stops and/or UConn today.

It should be easier for Hurley at UConn than at URI. UConn's new $45 million on-campus facility is second to none...and the school's expectations are different than URI's. What Ollie lacked was HC experience...Hurley has plenty.

I hope everything works out well for URI and UConn.

I heard he had a good recruiting class coming in. I wonder if AG can pick a couple of them up!?
