Unsurprisingly, emotions are high in Phoenix during the national championship game. Purdue and UConn have been working toward a national championship all season and the moment has finally arrived. Both sidelines desperately want to win and are attempting to get an advantage they can.
Dan Hurley is as intense as ever and is in the ear of the official. Specifically over a screen Zach Edey set at the top of the key, with Hurley thinking it should have gone the other way. The officials let it go and play continued on the court.
But when a timeout was called, Hurley and Edey had words for each other over the moment. Hurley was pointing something out to Edey, with the Purdue star chirping back on his way back to the bench. Not too often do you see a coach and an opposing player get into it.

Ian Eagle asked Gene Steratore his opinion of the play, saying it’s a clean screen from Edey. He did reminisce on his officiating days though, talking about Hurley’s love to work the officials in a big way.
“It’s a good screen,” Steratore said. “My heart is getting warm watching Dan act the way he is. It’s bringing back memories.
