'The Press Has Been An Asshole To Me All Year' - Dan Hurley Leans Even More Into His Villain Character, Cracks Jokes About His Fight With The Media

This right here is what a character looks like. Perfectly leaning into a joke while playing the hits. The fact people are losing their minds over this, calling Hurley an asshole and how disrespectful he is to not respect the biz. Guys, it's a joke. I promise you he's making a joke here. It's okay to show a little personality and have some fun with this. The whole storyline for UConn this year is Dan Hurley losing his mind and UConn not living up to their hype. Let the man crack a joke and move on after a win. 

I say it all the time, but I like Hurley. He's awesome for the sport. 

Again, think about the Big East we grew up with if you're a fellow old. Pitino, Rollie, Looie, John Thompson, Calhoun, Boeheim, they all were willing to talk some shit, say whatever was on their mind and piss people off. We fell in love with the conference because of those coaches. Hurley has some of that in him. Good. College basketball is built on coaches and we need some of them to have a personality besides analytical talk and boring shit. 

I do wish he wasn't self-aware. Like he just hears the word press and starts to go off without joking. The man is a lunatic, I don't know what to tell you. He lives to win basketball games. The same way his father was, weird how genetics works out that way. Let the man say whatever is on his mind. It's how the Big East once worked and what we need to get back to. We need Rick Pitino saying he's going to kill himself over missed free throws. We need Shaka and Kim English getting into a little dust up over a late foul. We need Dan Hurley rants. The Big East always was and always will be a coaches league.
