There would be no coaches

You say that like it would be a bad thing.

I don't expect CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to be saints. Obviously we have different standards in society for different people and professions. But those standards do evolve. We're only seven years past accepting, for instance, that Hollywood producers could abuse women with zero repercussions. I'm sure that problem hasn't disappeared, but the standards of behavior there and in a number of professions have gone up.

Plus, these guys are coaching kids and many of these coaches are public employees -- Hurley is, I imagine, the highest paid public employee in the state of Connecticut. So I don't think expecting these guys to be a little better should be met with "What can we do?" The Hurleys of the world will of course continue to be exceptional basketball coaches and impulsive crybabies. But adhering to slightly higher expectations shouldn't be that controversial or difficult to implement. Movies still get financed. Basketball will still be played.

Possible game at TD Garden with UConn vs BYU. BYU looking to get Dybantsa a home game. I'm surprised that it's not against BC. You'd think BC would draw a bigger crowd in their home city.

Ha. UConn would draw more fans in an exhibition game at Conte against 5th graders than we would against BYU, a program that isn’t really known for its elite hoops program.

BC fans will only get interested in a blue blood matchup like Duke, UConn, etc.

Eight guys left our championship teams for the NBA or G and poor Alex was left to play with the young remnants.
Good to see him finish his career with a much more complete team where he has a legit shot at competing for a 3rd ring and his name on the gampel walls with other UConn greats.
