Nobody In All Of Sports Throws A Better Temper Tantrum Than Dan Hurley

I can't lie here, I'm addicted to watching Dan Hurley. I can't help it, it's more entertaining than whatever the refs are currently doing in this UConn/Georgetown game. It's hideous so let Dan Hurley lose his shit on the sidelines. But this is bigger than one game. It's bigger than even UConn. This is why we need the Rick Pitino/Dan Hurley rivalry: 

So many people complain that we don't have the coaching personality of the old days. Sure, to some degree. Most of the guys that have a personality have either 1) been around forever (Self, Pitino, Cal, Izzo) or 2) haven't won anything yet (a guy like Muss). That's where Dan Hurley enters. He's coming off a title. He's at a blue blood, he can go toe-to-toe with anyone when it comes to temper tantrums. So yeah, give me the old Big East fill of him vs Pitino. It's what we want in the college basketball world where coaches dominate. 

If you can't laugh at Hurley crossing his arm like a toddler and screaming no way, you're probably a ref and therefore are the worst. 

Is he a lunatic? Absolutely. But you know what? Lunatics win. Lunatics make the game more entertaining. Not his best temper tantrum but it sums Hurley up perfectly. No ref is ever safe around him.
