We are just over a week away from March, and Dan Hurley and his UConn Huskies haven’t looked like champions this year. Although they are on the quest for the ever elusive three-peat, it doesn’t seem likely from the way they have been playing. Coach Hurley has grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons this season. His outbursts at the referees were noted by all, and his loss against Seton Hall really summed up the year he has been having.
John Fanta released a 15 name Midseason Coach of the Year watch list on X. However, the list drew attention online as prominent names were missing, including Dan Hurley. It is a kick in the face for the legendary coach who had led the Huskies to two back-to-back national titles.
The 15 names on the Naismith Midseason Coach of the Year Watch List:
Greg Gard
Dennis Gates
Todd Golden
Penny Hardaway
Tom Izzo
Pat Kelsey
Dusty May
Grant McCasland
Ben McCollum
Matt Painter
Bruce Pearl
Rick Pitino
Richard Pitino
Kelvin Sampson
Jon Scheyer
