I just don't see how someone cannot regulate their emotions when at their job. Hurley's antics can't be excused away by, "Oh, hey, he's just an uber-competitive guy."
vaaks below Jake Davis and Ethan brown?
Unlikely IMO!
True, last year Lee scored well against Illinois State but Brown did it against a quality tourney team yesterday. He did miss a few defensive rotations but I feel confident that Brown will be a role player this year. I hope Williams can make that jump as well.
He was yesterday.
Ex game! Don’t read too much into those games!
By the same token I know I've seen a lot of people in "regular" professions who are just as bad as Hurley. I can't be surprised that a national champion basketball coach had that behavior excused away when I've seem and heard about similar behavior being excused, or even applauded, when it's law firm partners and CEOs and small business owners and department managers and even politicians (who you think would be especially concerned with how they conduct themselves on the job).
I think Hurley gets some of that from his father. He was pretty competitive.
instructions unclear. my brain can't handle your nuance. still in off-season mode
I've seen clips of his dad yelling at his highschool team threatening if they lost they'd be ridiculed.
I can't see Z that low. Even if Mirk plays 30m and Tomi plays 25-28, that still leaves 22-25m at the 4/5 that need covering. I expect Z to get the majority of those minutes.
I think they’ll score more than 84 per game. I will go with 87 per game well short of the 92 scored in 64-65 but good for 2nd.
Just throwing out this idea... it would be worth it to time share season tickets if you could find others who are close enough to go sometimes but not every game. My season tickets were about $550 (plus $250 for parking for the season). Over 20 or so games, that's about $40 a game all in. You can certainly get much more expensive season tickets - I'm in the lowest tier of pricing - but my seats are just fine and I enjoy the hell out of every game. They are probably comparable to the single game tickets available now - row 7 of what we used to call C section.
ILLI mean, not to call you out but this is a prime example of excusing the behavior away. With perhaps a few token examples, everyone that coaches for a living is "competitive." Which P4 basketball coach is not "pretty competitive?" And yet most manage not to do anything close to Hurley's worst antics even once in the course of their careers.
