NFT: NCABB: Mark Turgeon restrained from going after Danny Hurley

Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 11/26/2015 10:06 am
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).

Chris Knoche the radio color guy for the Terps said that he called some players a slur for homosexuals that I won't repeat in the handshake line. If so he's heading for a suspension in the climate we are in right now. No way The NCAA will tolerate that.

Bob Hurley basketball camp when I was younger. At 2 a.m. One morning, some of the kids in the dorm filled with 5th-8th graders were making noise. Dan Hurley came storming In and shouted "If all of you don't shut the fuck up you will be sleeping outside with the fucking bugs."

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.

This is nothing compared to Union RPI a few years ago. A coach punched a player. It was a full on melee.

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.
yea Hump Happy Thanksgiving to you too

Yea I guess he'll get off free. Pretty disgusting behavior if true. Its one thing to get heated during the game, thats understandable. However the handshake line? come on thats bush league. I'm surprised the URI AD is dismissing it so quick. If you see the video, clearly something happened as you see the MD asst. irate and yanking Robert Carter jr. back. By the way as an aside on RCjr. enjoy these next 3 or 4 months of him. That guy is the surest bet of a lottery pick we have on the roster including Melo and Stone. His game screams the next level.
