UConn’s win over St. John’s in the Big East tournament semifinals Friday produced some intense moments on the court between coaches Dan Hurley and Rick Pitino, which observers later assumed transferred over to social media.
At one point in the game, the coaches received technical fouls in the same minute. Hurley’s technical stemmed from his wanting a loud St. John’s fan kicked out of Madison Square Garden. In that moment, his dad, legendary high school coach Bob Hurley, was standing by his son’s side.
The tension was palpable.
