Bobby Hurley will do anything to see his team win.
A charismatic competitor that endorses a voice for his team and the referees’ whistles, the fourth-year coach isn’t afraid to change his approach, whether that be exhausting himself with 92 sprints before a rivalry game or benching his starting point guard after a first Pac-12 loss.
