Without question.

I can’t think of a single coach past or present who matches Hurley’s douche-E-ness. Bo Ryan was a prick, Bob Knight was an @zzhole, Steve Alford was a smug pissant, and of course Tom Izzo is a whiny little b*tch.

But Danny Hurley makes all of them look like amateurs in the way of being unlikable.
Hurley sure wins a lot. He is to coaching what his brother was to being a player.

The U Conn fans were basically doing this directly in the faces of Illini fans:

Iowa fans were just celebrating in the incident you brought up. No direct interaction with Minnesota fans.

Apples and oranges.

You are viewing it the way you want.

At the 2016 NLCS game 5...I watched Cubs fans dance on Dodgers flags in Dodgers stadium and have plenty to say to Dodgers fans passing by.

You keep bringing up direct mockery in the faces of the the opposing fans.

I submit that that is different.

And you, as an Iowa fan, have a problem with the hilarious 2002 Iowa fans tearing down the Metrodome goal post incident? It still sticks in your craw?? And you're an Iowa fan???

So you think that some fans waiving good bye is more classless than anything I have brought up?

I don't think any of it is classless. I think it's fans having a good time. But the UConn example above is so mid compared to thousands of other examples is is hilarious that this video some how shows UConn fans as classless.

Most of the incidents you are bringing up are indeed going too far, I agree.

I'm not a fan of in your face mockery directly aimed at rival fans. Nor intentional disrespect of your opponent and/or opposing fans, and thinking that's a form of "celebration."

The 2002 Metrodome goalpost incident was not that, and therefore was different, and not as bad. IMHO.

Agree to disagree.

I’m admirer of how Hurley coaches basketball. Yes I am. Does he seem like a douche? Sure. But guess what? We really don’t know what most coaches are really like. I know when I watch a UConn game they’re going to be tough and well coached. He’s the son of a cop and a self made family.
He's the grandson of a cop. His father, Bob Hurley Sr., was a legendary head coach in Jersey City.

We already have FranCon. It's high time to propose a Fleck-University of Connecticut-Rating Scale(F-UC-RS) for coaches.

I knew he was a legendary coach, Miracle of St Anthony’s one of the best sports books ever written. I just had thought he was a cop but it’s been awhile since I read it. My bad!
