INDIANAPOLIS — To watch Dan Hurley on the sideline during a game is like randomly sliding your finger around an emoji keyboard to capture reactions as to what is transpiring before him.
There’s the smiling Hurley, which encompasses far more of his persona away from the coaching box than he lets on. There’s the laughing version of the UConn head coach, both facetiously at certain officiating decisions and when he can’t believe something happened with his team. There’s the rare crying face, which can pop up unexpectedly like it did last season when the Huskies failed to make it out of the first weekend of the NCAA men’s tournament.
