There are words and there are actions. He couldn't stick around for one second on the clock to congratulate Shaka and his players in the handshake line? Character (or lack
thereof) revealed.

Talks about respect he has for Marquette and Shaka.......and later on mentions that Marquette is playing like a " top 60 or even top 50 team right now"

After a bad year with a horrible Raiders team, Geno was just traded to the NFL purgatory known as the New York Jets, where he supposedly will re-structure his contract.

Good luck, Geno!

Is Latrell Sprewell his agent?

Random thing I just learned, we have as many FOTY as DePaul. Wild.

Quote from: Pakuni on March 10, 2026, 04:09:48 PMThe 2026 salary cap is $301.2 million.
The Dolphins will carry more than $151 million in dead cap.
Good luck, Jeff Hafley.

I'm sure this was always going to be the plan. And it makes sense to do a hard reset, gather some nice draft picks in the process, and build from the ground up.

I just hope their notorious prickly owner sticks with it.

Quote from: The Sultan on March 10, 2026, 10:14:30 AMNot necessarily. Dribbling for the sake of dribbing isn't great. But dribbling to put consistent pressure on a defense is definitely something many coaches teach.


I think you are reading way too much into something that was supposed to be a compliment. Which is exactly why Marquette posted it.

Sounds like you've diagnosed a case of Hurley Derangement Syndrome?

Quote from: MUbiz on March 10, 2026, 10:09:42 AMIt is generally considered bad to take lots of dribbles, is it not? Hurley crafts his statements many times to leave thought into what he is saying - as he should and all great coaches do. 

You can choose to believe its all love from Hurley, but I have spent enough time around high level college sports to have a different opinion. One of my best friends played football for Mark Richt at Georgia and I have spent a few Saturdays with Mark in recent years at Sanford stadium watching the game with him due to my buddy's access. You would not believe the things he said and stories he made up re opponents to get an edge.

Another perfect example is when I was at MU, my now wife was in PT school and she helped the basketball team at home games. She would come home after a game and would tell me how Crean would talk bad about everything and everyone pregame, including the MUBB fans. Did Crean mean any of what he was saying when he said "not a single f'ing fan in that stadium cares about you!" Of course he did not believe that - but it was said to foster the mentality of us vs the world.

Psychological warfare happens at every high major sport there is, all the time.

Yeah, Hurley definitely doesn't talk about all programs/teams like he does about Marquette.  After one of his many minor incidents at Creighton either last year or 2 years ago, their next game was at Marquette and he said something along the lines of, "I guarantee there won't be a problem in Milwaukee.  That's a championship program with a great fanbase."  And he certainly doesn't talk about SJU the way he talks about Marquette.

Hurley talked about Kolek the same way he talked about James (and even referenced Kolek in this presser).  If you really think he's trashing those guys, I'm not sure what to tell you.  I'm guessing Kolek is probably one of his favorite players he's coached against ever.
