Danny Hurley blew up on an official again on Tuesday night and this time he reminded the offending referee of just how good a coach he is.
During a dead ball with 2:58 left in the first half of UConn’s matchup with Butler, Hurley wanted to talk to one of the game’s officials. He yelled at said official, who proceeded to turn and walk away. That only set Hurley off more. He then unleashed a quote that is sure to live on for a while.
As the official walked away, Hurley appeared to say, “What are you doing to me? Don’t you big time me, I’m the best coach in the f—ing sport.” I’m not a professional lip reader but it was pretty clear that’s at least very close to the actual quote.

Hurley is likely the best coach in college basketball right now and his back-to-back national championships make that case for him. But that doesn’t mean he should say it out loud on national television.
This is nowhere near the first time Hurley has exploded on officials or that his on-court antics have been questionable. College basketball fans are a bit fed up with how he acts during games and after. This will only add fuel to that fire.
In a recent game, UConn’s head coach Dan Hurley was caught on camera berating a referee for walking away from him during a heated outburst. The incident occurred after a controversial call that didn’t go in UConn’s favor, and Hurley was clearly frustrated with the referee’s decision.
Hurley could be seen yelling and pointing at the referee, demanding an explanation for the call. However, the referee appeared to try to diffuse the situation by walking away, which only seemed to further infuriate Hurley.
The video quickly went viral on social media, with many fans and analysts criticizing Hurley for his behavior. Some argued that his actions were unprofessional and disrespectful, while others defended Hurley for standing up for his team.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s clear that emotions were running high in the heat of the moment. It will be interesting to see if any disciplinary action is taken against Hurley for his outburst, or if he will issue an apology for his behavior. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
