Maybe the biggest name of the coaching off-season to be on the move to a new home is Danny Hurley. A member of basketball royalty, Hurley was at the top of the list of many schools for their coach opening. In the end, he chose the University of Connecticut. After restoring life in the Rhode Island program, where took the Rams to two consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament, he will attempt to resurrect a very proud UConn basketball program coming off back to back to losing season (the first losing seasons in the past 30 years).<\/p>\n
How is he going to do it? In a Sports Illustrated article, Danny Hurley explains he is going to a holistic approach: \u201cIn the locker room before the press conference, I explained my background as a player, as a coach, my family, and then the approach that I was gonna take with these guys. I\u2019m taking a holistic approach to their development. I\u2019m trying to make them better men. \u2018You\u2019re gonna be better players and have better careers and we\u2019re all gonna be very successful together.\u2019 I had to explain to them that I expect them to be excellent in every part of their lives. We\u2019re gonna be better than we were last year. We\u2019ll carry ourselves better, the product on the court has gotta look different in terms of how hard we play and how well-connected we are to each other. We gotta see that UConn toughness that has produced four national championships in the last 20 years. I\u2019m gonna set really high standards. I\u2019m gonna develop all-around people. And this is UConn. We just came off two losing seasons. We gotta get this fixed, fellas. Because this is UConn and you can\u2019t really do this here, this whole losing thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
