He should have. Constant tantrums about calls, walking out of the box, grabbing players, walking on the court to talk crap to Edey during a timeout, the list goes on... no class.

[@craftsmanctfl3493]

⁠@@9Packin In the world of sports, class is generally not important. Winning is. The American people love Dan Hurley just the way he is. At the moment he is America’s coach in terms of men’s college basketball.

[@9Packin]

@@craftsmanctfl3493 You speak for all of the American people.. that's quite a claim. Yeah winning puts you in the spotlight. And he sure does enjoy it, easy to tell. Class is still important to some of us. You can win or lose and still carry yourself in a professional manner. Hurley does not. I'm sure inside your sphere of people he walks on water, but I assure you there are plenty of people who have noticed what an arrogant blowhard he is on and off the court, and are turned off by it. I'm not the only one. UConn wins because of the players they have simple as that.

[@CFHuss]

The female kim mulkey. Yes, i spelled it right

[@UseCommonSense151]

Hurley went out to mid court during the first half and said something to Edey and I’m sure it wasn’t a compliment. I know I’m not the only person who saw that and thought it was very LOW CLASS. When asked what he said Edey was the bigger man and wouldn’t say. A 51 year old (Hurley’s age) has no business acting like that to a 21 year old (Edey’s age). Hurley also spent the entire game complaining to the refs.

[@CFHuss]

This guy is a joke

[@kellyboucher6365]

Waaah

[@edalbanese6310]

What a disgrace! Winning is good but he is a disgrace to the sport! And his son was not good...third string LOL

[@totalbodyperformancefitnes4813]

How is he a disgrace to the sport???? Funny how people say that but they cherish guys who actually ruin the integrity of the sport. You want him to apologize for winning and repeatedly saying his team is the best in the country? Unlike others he proven it… twice… consecutively

[@dougbloomquist9780]

He’s such a disgrace that every program is calling him about a job. Come on man!

[@edalbanese6310]

@@totalbodyperformancefitnes4813 heard his interivew post game and just arrogant. could care less for the trophy but have some grace...I don't think he knows the word.
