Hurley expects full and quick playbook understanding for his new-look roster at No. 4 UConn
Dan Hurley, UConn's coach, views himself as a teacher first, using a teaching analogy to describe his approach to the team's complex offense. With key players like Solo Ball sidelined, Hurley has been challenging his new-look Huskies with a full playbook to help them think and adapt. UConn tested itself with exhibition games against Syracuse, Michigan State, and Purdue. Despite losing key staff, Hurley believes in recruiting smarter players and improving skills.
Silas Demary Jr. now plays a crucial role in helping teammates understand the system. UConn opens the season against Gardner-Webb on Monday.
