UConn head coach Dan Hurley is receiving a fair amount of criticism today after he was caught on camera berating a referee last night.
“Don’t turn your back on me,” Hurley screamed at the official. “I’m the best coach in the f–king sport!”
Here is Hurley admitting to it after the game:
Honestly, I get why people don't love Dan Hurley. But the guy is just the best version of a basketball crazy person. I love the entire experience. He gets who he is, he's unapologetic about it. Just an incredibly fun dude to have around the game of basketball. pic.twitter.com/o91aU4OQna

This was a real quote from Dan Hurley tonight to referee Nathan Farrell:
“Don’t turn your back on me. I’m the best coach in the f*cking sport.”

In a discussion on The Field of 68 podcast, Jeff Goodman said Hurley’s antics are disgusting:
Kentucky fans, aren’t you happy you have Mark Pope instead of this guy?
