Sports are copycat businesses. If I were a coach I’d be modeling my program on what the elite teams are doing. Especially a program like UConn who doesn’t have any intrinsic advantages. It’s not a desirable locale. It doesn’t have tons of talent within 50 miles. It doesn’t have Duke academics. It’s not historically relevant. Hell before the 90s UCONN was a doormat. There is nothing unique about the Huskies they made them into a freaking juggernaut that hasn’t been seen in a long time.
I’d be studying what they did and how they did it. Of course, the answer may be as simple as Hurley is a freaking hoops genius. If that’s accurate it’s not like he had elite jobs at Wagner and RI where the zkenticky’s and Dukes of the world couldn’t poach him.
