UConn head coach Dan Hurley is either a whiny drama queen or wildly entertaining, depending on how you feel about him. He reinforced that again on Saturday with a rather unexpected moment during his postgame press conference.
Hurley sat down to speak with the media following the Huskies’ 64-62 win at Georgetown on Saturday, but the chair he was provided to sit in was very much not to his liking. After he began making his opening statement, Hurley paused to fire off a few sharp comments about what he thought was too small a chair.
“Is this a f—ing kids’ chair? I feel like a f—ing — I don’t need to be in a Phil Jackson chair, but what the f—?” Hurley asked.
Dan Hurley didn't like his postgame presser seat 😂

Hurley composed himself, put on a fake smile, and came to accept the chair he was forced to deal with, albeit begrudgingly.
If you attend a Hurley press conference, you are liable to get some f-bombs about a whole host of topics. Usually they are about basketball, not a chair, but the possibility always exists that he goes off-script like this.
Hurley’s temper is rather infamous, and he can sometimes let it get the better of him. For a moment, he seemed genuinely angry about that little chair, but he managed to compose himself — barely.
Hurley cannot have that much to complain about. Saturday’s win moved the Huskies to 18-1 on the season, though a two-point win over a mediocre Hoyas team probably did not make him happy.
