This happened late, but I haven't seen something like this since Cheney went after Calipari in the postgame.
Maryland beat URI pretty handily in the final of the Cancun Challenge. Apparently Hurley cursed at Turgeon and the Maryland players during a TO Turgeon took to get his bench guys into the end of the game. A Cancun Challenge official said Hurley directed an expletive at Maryland's players as both teams shook hands after the game, and it extended further into the postgame.
Know we have a big A-10 contingent on here. Can anyone comment on Hurley? He seems to have a rep for some on-court histronics, but overall he's a very good coach (probably better than his brother).

Not that this is the worst thing ever said, but pretty inappropriate for kids that age. I can still hear The pure anger in his voice as he screamed at the top of his lungs. It did work though, nobody made a noise the rest of the night.
It wasn't the only incident at the two week long camp. He had a temper back then and Appears he still has one. Bobby couldn't have been nicer.
I am also not sure Danny is the better coach now. There was a time this was true, but Bobby turned around the Buffalo team and is now at ASU.
Stu, Happy Thanksgiving. The URI AD already came out and said there's no issue. So unless somebody comes out with audio or really pushes this, I would say it's done.
There's also a humorous photo going around of Doug Gottlieb giving Turge a "what the F is wrong with THAT guy" look about Hurley before the postgame interview.
