love his coaching intensity! Reminds me of a young Coach K
Coach Hurley
- Thread starter Duke1783
- Start date
Yeah, I took it that way!!
I would be surprised if it was anybody but Capel, but I think Hurley is a nice option.
Hurley Sr. coached me for a day at summer camp in 1988. Scared the bejesus out of me. Bobby & Terry Dehere were the assistants.
Imagine the if Duke gets mentioned at all in this FBI probe and Capel is involved (even if the offense isn’t bad enough to effect his job as an assistant at Duke) then that could top the scales toward K and Duke bringing in Hurley as HC versus Capel. Nolan Smith is becoming a stud recruiter and between him, Scheyer and James, we would be fine on the recruiting trail with Hurley as HC and Capel elsewhere as a HC.
Personally, I thought Bobby did not represent himself last evening. Intensity is one thing, but to lose control of oneself is quite another. I have watched K for decades and sometimes he gets very, very miffed. But he never , EVER, looks like he has lost control, especially to a point that he can't speak to or rally his team when they need him during a timeout.
Is Bobby Hurley one of the greatest, if not the greatest, point guards in ACC history? Beyond a doubt. But being a truly awesome player is different than being a truly awesome coach. The jury is still out on whether Bobby Hurley will become that.
