UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley admits that his "ego had gotten -- was getting -- the better" of him following a conversation with legendary women's basketball head coach Geno Auriemma last season, he writes in a forthcoming book.
In Hurley's "Never Stop: Life, Leadership, and What It Takes To Be Great," he writes that after UConn's 0-3 trip to the Maui Invitational last November in which Hurley was assessed an ill-timed technical foul in overtime against Memphis and railed against the officiating all week, he needed to take stock of his attitude and behavior -- especially after his wife, Andrea, told him he crossed a line.
