Danny Hurley Loves Candy

University of Connecticut blames Pop Rocks for their loss in the NCAA basketball championship. Apparently, Dan Hurley’s blood sugar took a low blow as he walked into the locker room at halftime. His assistant coach, Murray, had two packets of cherry-flavored Pop Rocks in his jacket pocket and offered them to Hurley like it was a cutting-edge sports supplement. Dan dumped both packets straight into his mouth, then realized he needed to wash them down with something, so he grabbed a can of Coke and started chugging.  What happened next left everyone dumbfounded: Dan’s head exploded. Not missing a beat, the assistant coaches sprinted into the stands, grabbed Dan’s brother, Bobby Hurley, dressed him in Dan’s clothes, and sent him out to impersonate a fully intact head coach for the second half. Unfortunately, “Dan” was too distracted by the chunks of his brother still on his collar to effectively coach, and therefore they lost.

Danny said, “Bobby could play the game. Bobby told me Herm Edwards was a great life coach at ASU. You play to win. I decided not to listen to Coach Herm. My methods worked the entire season.”
