Dan Hurley is a great coach but his sideline behavior toward refs is annoying
Danny is a tremendous coach. There's things about Danny that bother me. The way he gets on referees bother the hell outta me 'cause he gets calls. But as far as my respect for his coaching ability, he's a great coach. Great coach. Offensively as well as defensively preparation wise, he has all the answers.

View episodeDuke is back to being the worst and perfectly hateable again
Duke is back to being the worst because goddammit, those guys are so hateable and they're right back to where they were. I was nervous... but just that scene choking on senior night against UNC. Those stupid fucking Cameron Crazies that pretend that they're the coolest, best fan base in the world... throwing shit at college players.

View profilePlayers today want to be coached hard, but you can only be tough on them collectively, not individually in front of the team
Today you can be tough on the team but you can't be tough on 'em individually in front of the team. If you wanna be tough individually, you call 'em in your office, you go one-on-one and you tell 'em the way you feel... collectively as a team you can get after them and they'll be very receptive.
You cannot win big in college basketball with high school kids anymore
I I don't think you can win and win big with high school kids. Huh? I don't, I really don't believe it. I wish it was true now. Good recruiting. I I think New York is more attractive away from New York than in New York. I agree that as somebody who used to live in New York.
The NCAA 20-hour rule for practice is 'absurd' in the NIL era
The ncaa, I've always said this about them, they are never proactive. They're always reactive. The fact that we have a 20 hour rule right now is, is absurd. Now, we don't spend 20 hours now this part of the season because we don't want to get injured. But in the beginning, in the summertime, they give you five hours a week. That's crazy.
