Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz around Dan Hurley and UConn lately, and I decided to dive in and see what all the fuss was about. I mean, everyone’s talking about his coaching style, the team’s performance, all that stuff. So, I figured, why not do a little digging myself?

First, I started by just watching some recent UConn games. You know, just getting a feel for how the team plays, how Hurley interacts with the players, the overall vibe. I watched a couple of wins, a couple of losses – the whole nine yards. Just pure observation at this point.
Then, I moved on to reading articles. News articles, opinion pieces, interviews with Hurley himself – I wanted to get a range of perspectives. I wasn’t trying to become an expert, just trying to get a better understanding of the situation.
Here is the stuff I read
- Some stuff about his past coaching gigs.
- Articles breaking down his offensive and defensive strategies.
- Some pretty heated debates online about whether he’s overrated or * internet stuff.
After that, I spent some time looking at stats. You know, wins and losses, player performance, all the numbers. I’m not a huge stats guy, but I figured it would be good to get a sense of the objective data. I compared this year’s performance to previous years, looked at player improvements, stuff like * is a hard job.
Finally, I put it all together. I took all the stuff I’d watched, read, and analyzed, and I just kind of… thought about it. What did I think of Hurley’s coaching style? What were the team’s strengths and weaknesses? What were the main takeaways from all this digging?
It’s interesting and my final thought,I think Hurley has a brash and outspoken * can be off-putting to many.

Honestly, it wasn’t some super scientific * is a simple thing to do.
