On back-to-back days in Maui, I watched this man have to be physically restrained by *multiple* assistants. I'm sure, had I been there for day 3, I'd have seen the same. Hell, I'm pretty sure 85% of one of the assistant's jobs is just to be there to keep him from assaulting someone.
1) Yes, the cameras find him too easily.
2) That's largely because his antics make for good fodder; in some ways, I think he plays up for the camera. It's a feedback loop of jackassery.
3) He has anger issues, and I hope he sees someone about them before he either keels over or gets himself banned and has to go coach in Belarus or some ****.
4) These issues seem to run in the family; I assume it's a learned response passed on from their father.
5) You don't have to be like him or Bobby Knight to have success. Working the refs is one thing; being a damaged, deranged jackass is another entirely.

The old man was an ass back in his St. Anthony's days too. Bullying the refs always, playing up his long time big fish in a small pond thing. The sons learned from the old man. At least Bobby seems to restrain himself. I've actually grown to pull for him over time. It's not easy for a Jersey kid to travel all the way to Tempe and build something, or at least try. He's had multiple chances to coach smaller programs in the Northeast. He deserves respect for that, in my view.
Danny, on the other hand, seems like he's one bad call away from an ugly encounter with law enforcement.

Bobby is and always has been a whiner and brat.
Danny is and always has been a take-no-sh!t, in-your-face tough guy.
I've always liked Danny. He's like the poster boy for New Jersey attitude.
Gary Williams
What does it say about a man that, when first hearing his name, I think of "Sweat, Gary, sweat."

Small Guards don't get drafted early
Bobby is a raving lunatic who deserves about 7 technicals a game. Part of it is that he coaches his teams to foul every possession with the mindset that they "can't call them all". So anytime they do start calling them all, like they should, he blows his lid. He's an insane person.
Generically, I don't disagree here. But would you agree that his latest ref run in at a minimum makes him look like a pompous asshole?
I used to compare him to Bobby Knight. Williams screamed more and lacked the championships.
It always surprised me he was able to recruit so well. He spent over half of every game shouting at his own guys.
He said it himself in his presser. He looks like an asshole. I would even say it's not perception but reality - his way of being a competitor is to be an asshole. I respect it and like him for being an authentic asshole who is completely self aware and backs it up.
We can't embed Bluesky yet, so you'll have to click the link to see the video of Jerome Lane getting a pass from Sean Miller(?!) and busting a backboard. I remember watching that game live. My brother and I lost our minds. Then Jerome came to the Nugs and did squat. But he was a hell of a college player.

Yeah I remember this. Didn't watch it live, saw it on Sportscenter. God damn we're old.
Man, I had forgotten they picked Lane. Should cynicism and bitterness ever overwhelm me, my handle will be MarkMacon'sjumper.

Bobby Hurley is everything Tad Boyle isn't. As a coach, player developer, and team developer, Tad runs circles around Bobby. But when it comes to generating attention for the program and pulling talent, Bobby's on a much higher level than Tad. I would laugh at a trade, but Tad's got to figure out how to get better at the things Bobby excels at - even if that means getting the program infrastructure to cover his shortcomings.Part I:

Auto ban for even hypothesizing about Bobby being anywhere near our program
In an absolute shocker, Haggerty is leaving Memphis to get a max offer. This will be his 4th program in 3 years. He'll get PAID, tho. Great guard.
