UConn Huskies men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley celebrated with his team after advancing to the national championship with a victory over Illinois. Hurley was getting ready to speak to CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson when freshman Braylon Mullins wrapped up his talk, and Hurley headbutted the player. The crowd booed Hurley as he stepped up to the mic, and he responded by saying he didn’t know what they were booing. Hurley has drawn criticism and praise from college basketball fans for his intensity, and this is his third appearance in the national title game in four years.
