Dan Hurley: Full Interview

[@patrickshea4565]

The single best Hurley interview ever. So honest and open, approaches everyday like a champ. So many lessons

[@jeffdillon9526]

This is an amazing Guy sharing everything!! Absolutely deepens my respect for him!!

[@faf8609]

Thank you Dan Hurley for bringing UConn back to greatness! And making us Connecticut residents very arrogant when it comes to Who’s the best College program!

[@debellatios]

I'm a die-hard Kansas fan, but I could listen to Coach Hurley talk basketball for hours. His passion and energy make him such a fun coach to follow. I hope he's still coaching 20 years from now.

[@BrentWoods-nr3ui]

The j hawks suck

[@bubbagump9662]

I love this dude he’s so real

[@SanctuaryGardenLiving]

So grateful to Dan and Andrea Hurley for being here as part of our community in CT and bringing us so much joy and pride! 💙🙏🏼♥️

[@matthewodonnell7418]

This guy is as good as it gets. As real as it gets too

[@jordanmulford698]

Great Coach!! He coaches and teaches toughness which young men need to survive in the world today!!!!

[@ronaldlawrence2452]

As someone who is currently struggling with severe anxiety, when coach talks about when he had health problems and the fear of dying started to overwhelm him, I can totally relate. It “rocked him to his core” He talks about his fear. Very courageous.

[@cameronchiesa1031]

The best interview on this channel, absolutely incredible! Dan Hurley is 1/1, a madman who's a basketball savant.

[@davidpulaski7161]

Always a great day when Graham uploads. Appreciate all the great work you do!

[@perryhunter2461]

I was a high school coach in Indiana for 7 years, and how he describes himself was spot on to me. However, he has been able to function with his issues...I much prefer the assistant job because I cannot. Really enjoyed the interview and his teams.

[@MMAALL]

While the NBA is something that may or may not happen, I see him as the coach of team USA like Coach K. He would do great in FIBA basketball. UConn plays a very similar style. In CT, Hurley is literally the king of the state.

[@jonathanhollier3314]

If Danny gets this 3-peat he’ll reach Legend status at the collegiate coaching level 💯🏀💪

[@JoVatore]

His wife is amazing. She's a force. We love her in CT. She's our queen

[@Kevrey]

An excellent coach.

[@reptilelicks9796]

The best there is right now in college basketball.

[@hussienhussle8143]

Love Coach Hurley Man

[@LeagueHim]

This is incredible.

[@logosproclamation453]

What an interview! Wow

[@freakboy40]

I swear I love this guys wife! She is so perfect for him. She serves it straight with no chaser. She doesn't have the extra knowledge of the game which helps tremendously. She brings it back to earth.

[@peterichason2844]

Amazing interview!!

[@butchtiller4008]

He's a great coach. But, based on this interview, in my opinion, the best thing he has going for him is his wife.

[@staythhecourse]

What kind of comment even is this

[@MMAALL]

She’s a saint. She was with him when he was struggling and is definitely not a gold digger. Hurley’s predecessor at UConn dealt with some of that after his championship and he was never the same.

[@Addiction2dreamz]

As if that’s a bad thing? Isn’t that the point to find a partner that is your better half? Someone who unconditionally loves you and challenges you to be a better person.

[@gorjanninkovski935]

The best

[@constantineandreu9377]

I always knew Dan would be in the position that he's currently in👍

[@chrispaul7849]

GB's stuff is legend... Danny has suffered the damnation of the Furies, which, like Robert Johnson's crossroads, has made him an unparalleled force. The neck/spine issues that could've crippled him was chilling to hear.

[@peterpark6250]

Thwy're such a great couple

[@garywagner2466]

I will never fully understand the American obsession with college sports. So much money involved, it’s staggering. How can some of these programs afford to pay a coach $50 million dollars when students have massive loans to get their degrees? Loans that take years to pay off. Military personnel struggle to make ends meet and you are paying one dude $50 million just to coach kids how to throw a ball through a hoop.

[@spaceghost6889]

he brings the university way way more then his salary

[@Davidmark-i2m]

Creating another source of income in these difficult times is the best thing to do. Not only does it guarantee returns, it also helps you plan and save for future express it can be quite difficult to make an investment without sound knowledge or guidance which is why it is adorable to work with an investment advisor

[@itsjustacomment454]

Not going to the Lakers was probably his best career decision. He and LeBron would've butt heads.

[@kodiak138]

Wow fantastic interview, I just subscribed because of this and I had never heard of you before so there's that! Lol Also at about 129min in the vid 2 big bruises form over Dan's right eye and forehead. I looked at time stamps and he didn't have them they started forming around 10 min before just a weird observation.

[@eye4lies]

It seems like he has good self awareness, but she also knows how he operates

[@szpaceGhoszt201]

1:23:17 "*Yo* that was brutal". Can take the kid out of Jersey City....

[@loganbaltau386]

Will end up an all time great coach. But as a player? Get real with yourself. You are 6'2 and shot under 30% 3pt. Awful efficiency for career. There was no predraft process for you.

[@TrippyTexas]

He also played in a time where the 3pt shot is not what it is today. I agree that he just wasn’t a good player, but pinning it on something that was almost irrelevant back then is dumb

[@loganbaltau386]

@@TrippyTexas it’s not dumb at all. They didn’t shoot volume 3s, but guards were still expected to shoot an efficient percentage. Especially at that size. if you want to act knowledgeable, then refer to his FG% instead of his 3pt%. There was never a time that wasn’t a value
