UConn Coach Dan Hurley Admits Embarrassment Over Viral Quote

UConn head coach Dan Hurley expressed embarrassment over a viral video where he confronted a referee, stating, 'I'm the best coach in the f--king sport.' In an interview with CBS' '60 Minutes,' Hurley clarified that he did not realize he was being filmed when he made the comment and reflected on his intense approach to coaching, aiming to inspire his team. The segment, titled 'A Method to his Madness,' will delve into his preparation for the NCAA tournament as UConn seeks a historic third consecutive championship, following back-to-back national titles. Hurley also humorously addressed a fan theory about his drink of choice during games, confirming it was a special blend of mushroom coffee and MCT oil, rather than anything more mysterious. Currently, UConn is 22-9 this season and unranked, marking a significant shift from their previous success. The segment will air this Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on CBS.
