  • This week we are extremely excited to welcome UConn men’s head basketball coach Dan Hurley to the show! JJ and Tommy open the show breaking down what LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers need to do to in order to upset Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets in the 2-7 matchup in the first round. Then, Hurley joins to share what he’s learned from winning back-to-back NCAA national championships, who some of his biggest coaching influences are, and the legacy basketball family he grew up in with his dad, Bob Hurley (Hall of Fame coach) and Bobby Hurley (former Duke point guard, lottery pick, and ASU head coach). Hurley also shares what intangible characteristics he looks for in recruits, the teams and leagues his UConn offense is inspired by, and so much more. Let’s go!

    Dan’s UConn teams, with their “layered” offensive sets and schemes, play an aesthetically “beautiful” style of basketball. In this era of NIL money, the Transfer Portal and the One-n-Dones, Dan Hurley has demonstrated that “teamwork” basketball is not only still relevant, but can actually dominate at even the top tier of college hoops. 1983 UConn Grad - wishing Coach Dan continued success in the future.

    Hurley reminds me alot of Eric Spoelstra. They're both innovative basketball minds who think outside the box. When Spo talked to Chip Kelly in 2011 about the spread offense he translated those principles into new offensive sets/spacing concepts that changed the way basketball was played. Spo unlocked their potential to win multiple championships and Hurley has done the same thing with UConn. He incorporates similar principles, and european concepts via off-ball screening and ball movement/motion within their sets, theres nothing like it in college basketball.

    Great show. I swear, HBO should do a college basketball dramedy series based on Danny Hurley. He’s not just a great coach, but he’s just flat out interesting and funny. Plus his wife is a riot too. So lucky to be a UConn fan, alum and resident near the campus. Jason Sudekis should create a new series about a hoops coach like Hurley.

    Well, some coaches improve with age and mellowing. When John Wooden started out as a high school coach in Indiana during practice he would stand at center court with a paddle and give a swat on the arse to any players he didn't think were getting down the floor fast enough. Presumably such corporal punishment wasn't part of the UCLA dynasty. But hyper-intensity, however it's eventually channeled, does seem to be a prerequisite for coaching greatness. That's why, as a Duke alum, I've always thought JJ was the one guy from the K tree that had that level of intensity, and I wish he was on a coaching track that might get him to the Duke job someday.

    Fascinating. Its like David Epstein's book, Range. The ability to take knowledge and concepts from others sports and add in in depth knowledge from a FIBA game to create a brilliant new play, and goignthough the different reads. Its a fascinating process. I love that Clingan on the corner play, and thank you for specifcally asking about that (as a sixers fan, having that play would've been really nice when you were here, because someone really liked being in the dunker spot, someone who also should've shot with his right hand). Also the fact that his terminology is specifically called "formations". He is making the basketball version of the spread offense. JJ I love that content. we need this.
    Also the Bruce Brown usage on teh Nets call out. I love this
    Also I might just be saying this because I don't watch FIBA.
