Extended interview: UConn head coach Dan Hurley

I could run through a brick wall for this man. This is exactly UConn basketball. Win or nothing.

Boy, there sure are some smart and insightful people in this world and Danny Hurley is way up there. He’s been created by great failure, shame, weakness, strength, love, and then finally success. And look at the passion that’s grown out of all of that. I find him to be so compelling to listen to and to root for.

Coach just gets it. Going through the process himself as a player, having a brother who went through it, father who was an elite coach…Coach Hurley is the perfect mix of hunger, attitude, drive, will and swag to be one of the greats. Sinister that he didn’t get coach of the year this year. But that will come soon enough. Grateful to have him coaching our Huskies!

Hearing Dan speak about accountability and positive work culture is refreshing. Definitely old school values that are pretty rare these days. Dan is the best!

Great interview by Jan. Coach Hurley is one great leader....need more like him in all sectors of this country. With a guy like this at the helm, it's easy to understand why the team feels like they can't be denied.

Best coach right now in NCAA

That is a Fantastic Interview……Great Questions and The Coach gives it to you from the Heart with lots of Meat and Potatoes!!!!!!!

Great interview. More interesting than i anticipated. Seriously intense and driven coach. GO Huskies!

Amazing coach. Amazing man.

This old school mentality is what helps a team win. A player who is for themselves with a parent who is only for their kid IS a culture killer. Team mentality, striving to make yourself better for you and your team, remembering it’s a team and not just about you, that’s part of what makes a great team. Great interview!

LOVE YOU COACH HURLEY!!! NEVER LEAVE UCONN!!!

When he said they have passed on players with elite talent, size and athleticism, for players that give them the best chance to win really hit. Thats the thing he understands as a coach, its not always about talent, it's about roster construction, and mixing players with different skillsets to compliment the teams overall potential. It makes sense. I think he gets these guys that can shoot, pass and dribble, but also discipline. His teams run sets like an NBA team does and they are disciplined on defense, trusting each other. About like Kentucky was from 2009-2019

Dan Hurley is the very definition of genuine. So much intensity, intelligence and honesty. UConn is fortunate to have hired him. I especially like that he is candid about some of the mental health issues he has faced. He shows that you can deal with these and still be at the pinnacle of your professional life, in this case as a highly successful and respected coach.

That was the most real and honest conversation I think I’ve ever heard! Absolutely breathtaking ❤

UConn better keep this dude for life….. He just has it down pack 💯🤷🏾‍♂️

Great interview 👍

Dan is a wonderful role model. He is an inspiration for so many. I think of the legend John Wooden when I hear Dan Hurley speak. All coaches and players will benefit listening to Dan talking. Bravo!

Really appreciated this interview. He’s been refined by fire. Shoutout to Jersey.

Great coach, but he paid a high price. Forty years of stress of not winning, and having to living up to his father's and brothers accomplishments. An open and frank discussion of his life journey.

Phenomenal interview with college basketball’s top coach
