Who doesn’t like a bit of drama in sports? It adds a bit of spice, a bit of flavor to the already exciting competition. However, sometimes people take it too far. That seems to be the case with Dan Hurley, as the overconfident aura that he exudes has begun to rub people the wrong way. Fans are starting to call out the UConn coach for the way he carries himself.It started with a controversial encounter with the refs against Butler in which Hurley yelled, “Don’t turn your back on me! I’m the best coach in the f–king sport!” The attitude he showed caused an uproar in the NCAA community. Analysts tore the head coach to shreds regarding his behavior.Since then, the Huskies have gone 5-4, a far cry from the dominance we had been expecting. With the team up for a three-peat, it’s a shock how UConn ranks so low in the Big East. They lost crucial games against St. John’s, Seton Hall, and Creighton, which have impacted their seeding for the upcoming March Madness.
