UConn Basketball Coach Loses It After Late-Game Call in Stunning Upset — Trashes Refs in Presser

ESPN

College of Connecticut males’s basketball coach Dan Hurley had a fiery trade with a referee sooner than trashing the officiating in Monday’s upset loss to Memphis.

Hurley’s Huskies — the two-time defending national champions — misplaced to unranked Memphis within the Maui Invitational. withIn the closing minute of overtime, the head coach misplaced it when UConn forward Liam McNeeley used to be known as for an over-the-back foul on an offensive rebound. Hurley used to be given a technical foul for the outburst — leading to two free throws in addition to the 2 free throws Memphis used to be already given for the foul. Memphis defend PJ Carter hit all 4 free throws to provide the Tigers a 96-ninety two lead.

UConn misplaced 99-ninety seven.

After the sport, Hurley persisted to criticize the officiating.

“But I had quite a few concerns with what went on out there within the sport,” Hurley mentioned. “That over-the-again call at that time of the game — there was no try and block out. There was once a player on Memphis that made a 1/2-ass effort to rebound that basketball, and Liam McNeeley excessive-pointed that rebound. For that call to be made at that point in the recreation was a complete shaggy dog story.”

Hurley even singled out one referee and apparently questioned his credentials.

“I’ve by no means considered the one ref before,” he continued. “I didn’t even understand he was a school ref. After which, , I’m conversant in the opposite two, so I’m not shocked.”
