UConn's Dan Hurley has led the team to a National Championship, 30 years after he almost quit basketball. 'F—, man, I didn’t want to play. I didn’t even want to watch it.” BFQuinn details his story ⤵️
and has done it. For a man wired by a preoccupation with self-deprecation, the moment marks a long-sought validation. He might not come out and say that this is a fulfillment of his lineage, but his wife will.
From here, you likely know, Bob Sr. coached the Friars to a 1,185-125 record, 28 state titles, four national championships and a place in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He is perhaps the greatest high school coach in basketball history. That season ended with a worst-case scenario. Duke-Seton Hall in the 1992 regional semifinal. Duke trying to repeat as national champion. Seton Hall chasing a return to the Final Four for the first time since that heartbreaking ’89 title game. Bob Hurley Sr. told reporters the game was “an emotional nightmare” for the family, and it would play out in front of a sold-out crowd and a national television audience.
Bobby, on the other hand, was a senior at Duke, on his way to becoming the NCAA’s all-time assist leader and again an All-American. Both Hurleys’ teams flamed out early in the NCAA Tournament. Two collapsed lungs, five broken ribs, a torn ACL, a broken shoulder, among other injuries. Life-threatening stuff. So much so that the Kings needed to issue a release saying Hurley was expected to live. He spent two weeks in the hospital, finally released on Christmas Day 1993.
Danny didn’t magically figure everything out in one practice. But this was a step. A necessary one. He was never going to remove basketball from his life. We don’t choose our DNA. But he was on his way to figuring out his place in the game.
