Arizona State men’s basketball coach Bobby Hurley is known for his passion on the sidelines. But what can be lost in translation is his emotion off the court.
Following the team’s early exit at the NCAA Tournament, the former Duke standout addressed the media calmly with a solemn expression on his face as Shannon Evans and Kodi Justice looked on.
“My heart’s broken that I can’t coach Shannon Evans, Kodi Justice and Tra Holder anymore,” said Hurley.
As expected.
A seven-point Sun Devil lead evaporated in the closing minutes in front of a record crowd in Dayton, and with it came the conclusion to the careers of Hurley’s three most-tenured players.
