The habit gets a new name.
Dan Hurley’s behavior is a stark contrast to his usual antics on the sidelines. He’s known for being a “maniac” and has had several notable outbursts during games. However, in this moment, he showed a different side of himself. He was gracious in defeat and showed respect for the opposing team. It’s a side of him that we don’t often see. He’s still a polarizing figure, but this moment humanized him. He’s not just a coach, he’s a person too.
He’s still a lunatic, but a lunatic with class.
