@@TheNmd828 I understand Calhoun still has an office at UCONN, is he the genius behind how the program keeps getting great coaches? There must be someone at the top that makes UCONN run. I don't think any other school has won three titles under three different coaches in less than twenty years.
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.
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.
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.
To be a great coach you usually need to be a great man (at least these days). In this context, listening to this interview is especially insightful. Great work JJ
Coach Hurley’s Team building and basketball tactics at UConn reminds me of Klopps Team Building and Tactics at Liverpool… Just absolutely relentless the whole game, built with players that before arriving may not be heralded but then leave absolute legends!
I loved this. The explanation how he coaches variations on a theme, i.e. the layering stuff. How his players are whole people to him. My dad coached the same way. The family decision whether to make the big move is tough.
I'd like to hear more about Bill Murray's son at UCONN, supposedly he's a genius at analyzing film. I think Hurley has given him a lot of credit for his success.
This video made me a JJ Redick subscriber. So well articulated and delivered. I'll be diving into the rest of the content on this channel as well as future videos.
I could listen to JJ and Dan talk basketball and their obsession with the work instead of the result really makes me look back at myself and wonder what the hell I am doing with my life lol
I remember being a freshman at Elon University and seeing JJ around campus (I think with Daniel Ewing, but not positive) prowling for the good looking ladies that were lacking at Dook. Love JJ, especially after watching a documentary on him and seeing his tight knit family.
Lol I 100% believe this story because Duke has always been very lacking of any dimes lol have always had to go out of the triad triangle to find those 10s lol
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.
I agree I always thought JJ would have been closest to K as far as obsession and being obsessed with the work and only other person I thought of second was wojo coach shy was like the 4th option in my mind
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.
@@jutman17761 He's already interviewed for NBA GM positions and coaching jobs. Charlotte is interviewing him for their vacant position. Dude is wealthy. Not about a cushy gig anymore as much as something that challenges him.
Is it possible to do a after-season-interview with Wemby after the pre-season-one? It would be interesting to know how he expatiates his growth (also in light of his views about being content with your position in the universe).
Hey Danny,love ya bro. Best coach,Best team,Best program,bar none. But please,SHUT THE F UP!!!! Don’t be telling everyone how our offense works!!! Let the opposition figure it out on their own! Connecticuts offense is awesome! Best of the best. Keep it that way.
Who’s here after hearing Dan Hurley is the front runner for the LA Lakers HC job
Lol me!!
Me
Me 😉
Me fo real 😂
2 candidates together crazy
As a UConn fan I have probably watch every Hurley interview and this is definitely one of if not the best I have seen.
Same- kudos to JJ for asking different questions to get Danny to open up.
You think he’s leaving?
JJ about to delete this episode
Lmao
Quick on your feet lol
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
UConn fan here, so glad you could get this one done. Keep it up JJ 💪
Great interview. Hurley is one of a kind. True genius and hard worker
So crazy how he’s getting inspiration from the SF football offense. Dude is on another level. Thanks for bringing another ship back to CT, Coach!
I'm a freshman at UConn and this stretch has been awesome as a new student.
go research jim calhoun, he is the greatest coach of all time.

Agreed! Great comment
Well said
I was one of those kids playing while Danny and Bobby were dribbling. Love ya Dan. Jersey City for life.
this episode is gold lowkey
The consistency on this channel is widely impressive
Awesome interview! I hope Dan will be at the helm at UConn for a very long time!
Lakers stole him
Good Job JJ, That was a great. U talked about the game and him the reasons . I love it. Great Job .
Hurley made JJ almost cry with that answer about how it feels to win.
Ok I get it now...JJ as an assistant coach to my Lakers.

Oh he could become a global icon if they would do a series but with his amount of OCD and keeping things the same there is no way they could do it lol
These 2 together is a ELITE coaching Duo I’m learning so much it’s like other coaches are idiots
I like how u think. A team up would be fire
To be a great coach you usually need to be a great man (at least these days). In this context, listening to this interview is especially insightful. Great work JJ
Full circle moment

Hurley wouldn’t lose to Palace
Basketball aside JJ is a great interviewer
What else does he interview about?
@@KingChavo700 There’s a way of asking questions in an interview to make it flow that JJ has where he could be an interviewer about anything
Dan Hurley really care about the kids. That’s dope
Welcome to the Lakers Hurley!!!

He’s the one bringing in those European schemes and doing all the scouting and implementing of the offense

JJJJJJJJJJJ been on a heater baby
Both of these guys would make an excellent coach for the Lakers
I could listen to JJ and Dan talk basketball and their obsession with the work instead of the result really makes me look back at myself and wonder what the hell I am doing with my life lol
Really great interview. Thank you. Life lessons!
Lakers watched this interview and said hmmmmm 🫣
Now the algorithm got it. This joint poppin up like it came out hours ago 😂😂😂😂

You’re goated JJ thank you - A Husky
we need u dan to the lakers lets goooooo!!!
Mind the game podcast really helped me. And now a podcast episode like this is understandable for a casual like me.
Hurley just gave the reason why he isn't taking the Lakers job in the first 5 mins of this
JJ.. great podcast... this is gold
Nice work as always JJ

Welcome to the Lakers ✊🏽
Awesome interview
Lets go huskies, Rocking my championship gear proudly.
New haven CT born and bread
This boutta come back on JJ like an old tweet 😂
Legendary
Here after Hurley turned down the Lakers job and Redick is the new coach of the Lakers.
Great stuff!
I knew he would be coaching at a higher level since he was as st Benedict. Didn’t expect him to stay at the hs ranks like Coach Hurley
High basketball IQ, with team-first players. bleed blue.
Dan HC
JJ as an assistant!
It all makes sense now

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.
How is that book?
JJ a good analyst 🙏👍🏀❤️🇳🇿✌️
Respect the Hurley's..
Ballers.. 👍💯
I’m not gonna say right now that we’re 3peating but I’m not ruling it out yet
We will 😎🫡
its happening . Look out for Nowell the frosh
Let’s go Assistant Coach JJ Redick!
Maybe at the press conference the Lakers will announce Hurley and JJ both as head coach. Like what they did to Pat Riley and Jerry West…
JJ will be the next coach at Duke. A premier program like Duke is way too big for Jon S. without any prior experience.
Oh yeah and he's taking notes...
Doubt JJ wants that kind of responsibility… Why would he leave this cushy gig? Maybe years down the line if he’s looking for a challenge.
@@jutman17761 He's already interviewed for NBA GM positions and coaching jobs. Charlotte is interviewing him for their vacant position. Dude is wealthy. Not about a cushy gig anymore as much as something that challenges him.
Goat Hurley
HE THE COACH
Nice interview. Wish you would have asked at least one Geno Auriemma question. Curious about their relationship.
Jj redick looks like he’s falling in love while listening to Dan speak lmao
New lakers coach and his new assistant coach 😂😂😂
Duke!
Let’s gooo
Who would’ve thought these two would be competing for the same HC position?
I still want JJ as our coach #LakeShow
Wait, it just dawned on me: is Old Man and the Three done now? Maybe we can still get some strategy talk now and then, please?
Lmao ain’t no way Dan Hurley is about to take JJ Redick’s job now
Who else is coming here after hearing Woj’s news ?
At 29:06, can I get a video of the set JJ is referring to?
Great podcast…. BUT, cmon JJ those ads are way out of control, I mean damn it’s 2 minutes a pop lol
Dan Hurley made undergrad at UConn so worth it after starting from ground zero again
Hopefully JJ is soaking this up like a sponge.
Now Danny is gonna take JJ dream job coach Lakers
Nice Merion hat
uconn the bluest of the blue bloods now
Damn we thought it was going to be JJ as the Lakers coach the whole time and it’s the man he interviewed a month ago 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Im down with jj reddick being his assistant
It was a setup
Is it possible to do a after-season-interview with Wemby after the pre-season-one? It would be interesting to know how he expatiates his growth (also in light of his views about being content with your position in the universe).
67k now tmrw its 6.7 mil
Here we go, JJ interviews by doing most of the talking. Surprise.
Huh didn’t see this coming 😂😂😂
W
🎉🎉
Kyle Shanahan coaching tree in basketball.
Why start of the convo by talking about calapari instead of his team and the fact he went back to back smh 🤦🏾♂️ National sports media at its best
Jj in shambles
The real coach in the original time line. We live in a distopia. Biden, Trump, JJ Reddick, Bronny James...
I'm wondering if he still feels the same way about Hurley🤔
It seems they were plotting all along. lol Pulled an oceans 11 misdirection on everyone
i dont think putting rui in the starting lineup is going to change anything
Go Heels
Lakers Future HC and Assistant HC 👀
If Dan takes the job in LA, it would be awesome if he brings JJ on board to be an assistant.
👀
Hey Danny,love ya bro. Best coach,Best team,Best program,bar none. But please,SHUT THE F UP!!!! Don’t be telling everyone how our offense works!!! Let the opposition figure it out on their own! Connecticuts offense is awesome! Best of the best. Keep it that way.
Hopefully JJ gets hired by Clippers in the next couple years and they become rivals 😂
