UConn head coach Dan Hurley was visibly agitated after his team’s loss to top-seed Florida in the NCAA tournament. In a postgame interview with CBS and during a heated conversation with Baylor officials in the tunnel, Hurley expressed his frustration with the officiating crew.
The 77-75 win over UConn came down to the final minute, with Florida taking advantage of questionable calls by the officials. Hurley’s emotions boiled over as he warned Baylor officials not to “f*** them up like they f***ed us.” The comment was made in a lighthearted manner, but it highlighted Hurley’s frustration with the officiating.
This is not the first time Hurley has spoken his mind this season. He had previously berated officials during games, drawing technical fouls and criticizing “s****y calls” that he believed cost UConn victories.
Hurley’s outbursts have sparked debate about his coaching style, but it’s clear that he wears his heart on his sleeve. As the season comes to a close, fans can expect more of the same from this fiery coach next year.
