I like that he wears a suit like a proper basketball coach.

I didn't understand why people didn't t like him until watching the game last night. He gesticulates wildly during the game works the officials overtime and generally draws a lot of attention to himself

If you are not rooting for his team it is extremely annoying. I do not remember him behaving this way against Duke but I also was more focused on dukes crappy basketball at the time than his antics

I also don't remember him overtly putting on a display against Illinois but maybe not focused on the game too closely

Overall uconn is a big fish in a small pond and leverages an easy schedule to post season success. At the same time those kids play their ass off and squeeze every bit of paste out of the tube.

I did not want them to win last night but they played good ball and I respected that. Hurley was too much valvano and massimino for me.

Should have had a tech called on him that might have given the game back to Duke. Do not like. (And I don't like Cadeau either. Wish they could both lose.)

When? Why?

Didn't you see him "headbutt" and stare down the ref after Uconn made the three? Most coaches in most situations would have been teed up for that.

Didn't you see the official talk about that? Exactly 0 coaches would have been t'd up in that situation.

Best coach in the game… not a choir boy. Absolute guru offensively.

C'mon. He didn't "headbutt" him. It's not like he went full Zinedine Zidane on the ref.

Was it weird AF? Yes. But let's not make it something that it wasn't

He's great for the game. College basketball (sports) needs guys like him. I'm not a UConn fan but they are arguably the greatest basketball program in my life lifetime (40yr) alongside Duke.

Very few coaches have had a chance to win 3 titles in 4 years...K, Wooden, Rupp

In the last 30 years, UNC has been to 9 final 4's vs UCONN's 8. The difference is that UCONN is 13-2 with 6 titles, and UNC is 8-5 with 3 titles. Duke has made 7 appearances, and is 7-4 with 3 titles.

What puts UConn over the top (for me) is they have done it with 3 different coaches.

Kevin Ollie's national championship ranks right up there with Gene Chizik's.

Fair, which would have been the same as Hubert's had he not blown a 16pt lead in a title game.
