Danny Hurley came to UConn at the perfect time. The Huskies rid themselves of Kevin Ollie after he proved he couldn’t do anything well without Shabazz Napier on his team, and in stepped Hurley. The turnaround was not immediate. In his first season the Huskies only managed a 16-17 record, but 2020 saw UConn jump into tournament contention. The team was not great by any means, but they got hot right before the world came to an end, and, most importantly, beat UC in OT and let them know about it. Hurley’s teams at UConn have improved each season, and the return to the Big East has put them back on the national stage.
