Hurley's are all going to be screamers and to some degree whiners. The difference between them and Gonzo is that they're solid people by all accounts. The bigger concern is if if you get a Mike Rice like nutcase for a coach; that is a problem.
Its not just the Stanford game, he is like that in just about every game if you believe the A-10 boards. There are URI fans that think the behavior has cost the team points if not a game or two. That said, he has done a good job turning around two programs. URI will be a team to be reckoned with next season.
thought the announcers went a little overboard on this. Guy on Rhode Island tried to foul guy for like 10 seconds and refs called nothing then they called an intentional foul cause he fouled guy off the ball. Hurley got into it and then basically just fouled on purpose for the last minute when game was never really in doubt. Called a timeout up 10 with 25 seconds left. Announcers were killing him for that too. I didn't think it was that big a deal really.
I remember my time at SHU going to games that Boehiem was very bad with refs and Huggins was like ridiculous. I think he literally went crazy over every single call in ever game I went to vs WVU
I prefer Clapnchew. And Steve, don't you owe us your promised season's end coach assessment or did I miss it?
If you watched the NCAA game yesterday you saw Huggins bitch at the refs the entire game. Meanwhile his strategy was to beat up Maryland's PG and the refs allowed WVA to do that so much that the kid got knocked out of the game. The guy knows what he is doing that is for sure and the ref bitching comes along with it. Every coach will have warts. But can they be a strong leader and can they coach and recruit?

Not yet ,Bobby and Danny Hurley need more time on the sidelines.They also need to tone it down .I always felt the refs had a difficult time dealing with Gonzales especially with the close calls
I also recall the great St. Anthony's program and Bobby Hurley Sr. They had some great high school stars ,David Rivers,Bobby Hurley ,Jerry Walker,Terry Dehere , Mike Rosario and others .remember Roddrick Rhodes who was originally slated for SH ,but went on a visit to Rick Pitino 's Kentucky ,and at a game some 19000 fans' eyes looked and pointed to where he was sitting ,yelling we want you or something .Went to Kentucky for three years ,moderate success .Then ,before his senior year at Kenticky ,Pitino kind of hinted that he would not be a major player .Transferred and sat out a year at Southern Caiifornia .good year at USC .
In the legendary St Anthony's program under Bobby Hurley Sr .does anybody know of any St Anthony 's players that made it big in the pros ?

Kyle Anderson probably will (although he transfered into St Ants for his last few years). Rodrick Rhodes and Dehere each played for a number of years. Roshown McLeod played in the league and so did David Rivers. Not sure of anyone who made it big but quite a few who made it and I bet I'm missing a few names.

IDK about KA in the NBA. Hasn't he been bounced around between the Spurs and the D League this year? Nothing wrong with that as a rookie and the Spurs have a veteran roster that is tough to crack, but not sure that is an indication that he will make it big.
Does it matter how many of your players go pro? Tom Izzo has sweet sixteen appearances in 7 of the last 8 years...no one else has done that. I can't think of any NBA stars that have played for him during that streak. I'm sure there's a few but not as many as you would expect.
Danny's definitely got some sideline fire, seems to irritate the opposing coach at times. Believe he got into a shouting match with Ed Cooley a couple years ago, and then this with Tom Pecora (this was from a local blogger):
- Finally, Dan Hurley did not disappoint those who came to see the first-year Rhode Island head coach put on a show in his return to New York after spending the previous two seasons restoring the program at Wagner College in Staten Island. The colorful Hurley can be controversial and sometimes even out of control, and he wore his emotions on his chest as the game went on. On multiple occasions in the second half after media timeouts or blown whistles, Hurley sprinted from his bench toward the Fordham sideline, attempting to provoke Fordham coach Tom Pecora. By his own admission, Hurley said he was more animated this year than last at Wagner, but quite honestly, Hurley's antics this afternoon made his previous episodes look as tame as notoriously placid Butler coach Brad Stevens. No one can deny Hurley the success he has accumulated through his decade in the coaching industry at Rhode Island, Wagner and St. Benedict's Prep; nor can they deny his rich lineage as the brother of Duke legend Bobby and son of Hall of Fame coach Bob Hurley, but wins and losses only go so far in a world that judges a person for his character just as much as it does his talent.

Doesn't the lack of major NBA talent just speak to how good of a coach Bob Sr. is?
Ie he hasn't had the kind of silly natural talent it takes to succeed in the NBA but he has coached up and gotten a heck of a lot from the talent he had to work with.
