How good is Connecticut coach Dan Hurley? He will tell it to everyone who will listen… and to those who don’t.
He had some choice words for one of the referees Tuesday night during UConn’s game against Butler.
Not always intense: Doyel: In loss to UConn, Butler shows what it could be, Dan Hurley shows softer side
“Don’t turn your back on me. I’m the best coach in the (expletive) sport,” he shouted during a timeout.
Hurley, the two-time reigning champion coach, is famous for his antics on the sidelines. He literally jumped up to exhort the fans during the first half.
The Bulldogs gave the Huskies and Hurley all they could handle. UConn won 80-78 in overtime.
