'People Like Me Are Really Good For Sports' - Dan Hurley Won't Ever Stop Being A Lunatic, Is Right That College Hoops Needs Someone Like Him

He's right. That's really it. That's the whole blog right there. People like Dan Hurley are great for sports, especially college basketball. I don't know when we got to the point that lunatic coaches were outcasts or people having think pieces because Hurley lost his shit a time or two while they were losing. He does it while they are winning too by the way. But do people really not remember the coaches we grew up with? John Chaney once threatened to kill John Calipari in a press conference! We still laugh about that to this day. I can't imagine the reaction if Dan Hurley did the same thing to Sean Miller or something like that. 

Take away guys like Earl Weaver and every football coach to exist, let's just focus on college basketball here. Programs are viewed by their coaches. It's a coach personality driven sport, exactly why the old Big East was so great. If you have every coach acting the same and refusing to get into some headlines, the sport becomes boring. It wasn't that long ago that Bill Self went double birds to the NCAA during their FBI investigation into Kansas. I just don't get why people care if Dan Hurley is constantly losing his shit on refs or not. He wins, that's all that matters to UConn fans and Dan Hurley. 

That said, this might be the perfect interview. Everyone keeps comparing it to something backstage at WWE with the door, Fanta and Hurley's voice. It really is the right comparison, especially when the whole conversation is about Hurley's temper.
