    Thank you for sharing this! Bobby will always be my favorite Duke player! (I'm in the minority on DBR in overlooking the past and rooting for UConn because I can't not support Danny Hurley!) So I'm always excited to listen to what Bobby has to say. He's going to get there eventually with ASU. I know it!
    You might call it an obsession, we call it Duke Basketball!

    Thanks for sharing. I'm not usually a podcast fan but that was a lot of fun. On TV he comes across as pretty serious and intense but he has a good sense of humor.

    I'm a huge Hurley fan and will always be. But unless ASU decides to put more money into its program, upgrade its facilities and get its NIL in order, it will be an uphill battle for any coach to be truly successful at ASU. The loss of UCLA/USC only hurts the rest of the Pac-12 in status and money. I predict the conference of champions may not be a power conference for long, or will be in just name only. I think the best way Hurley can succeed is somewhere else. If he can get into the tournament again and win some games, some better program will poach him.

    I will never talk about That Game. GTHC.

    I was a little peeved to see another rival in the five timers’ club, but seeing the unmitigated joy on Bobby’s face last night made it all worth it.

    I don’t hate UConn as much now that John C. Calhoun is gone.

    I think this year’s tournament is evidence that you don’t have to be in a power football conference to succeed in basketball.

    Agree and have long believed this may be Duke’s fate. Landing in the Big East for BBall and relegated to an AAC-type conference in football is likely worst case for us if ACC implodes and we’re outside looking in. We’d struggle funding other sports without the bigger TV money but we’d survive. And maybe win another NCAA championship or 2 in BBall.

    May I ask why? Is it simply his relationship to Bobby?

    I've been following Bobby and his career since his playing days at Duke. When he was still playing at Duke and Danny was at Seton Hall, I started following his career as well. So I've been keeping track of Danny and his progress all the way through is coaching career, back to his first job as an assistant coach with Rutgers in the late 90s. So I've essentially been following both of them for over 30 years at this point.

    There is no doubt the skills Danny acquired in the wake of his difficult time as a young man at Seton Hall have served him well in coaching and in life. He’s the kind of guy whose success is endearing and relatable.

    Danny Hurley brought his brother back into basketball, after Bobby spent a number of years (after his gruesome injury) in the world of horse racing. When Danny got the head coaching job at Wagner, he brought Bobby in as an assistant. When Danny moved to Seton Hall, Bobby went with him. Bobby got enough leverage from this to win the head coaching job at Buffalo, where he did pretty well and moved to AZ State where he still is the head coach.

    Without Danny's assistance, who knows what Bobby would be doing today?

    All well stated and correct except Danny went to Rhode Island after Wagner, not Seton Hall.

    Given what has been said about their relationship, they could have made an incredible reality show about the two of them coaching together, particularly with the younger brother in charge.

    Probably hanging around with a bunch of guys under 5' instead of a bunch of guys over 6'.
    I'm with you, without Danny, Bobby ain't in the game.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

    who is John C. Calhoun? Any relation to James A. Calhoun?

    John C. Calhoun was from South Carolina and was a US Representative in Congress, Secretary of War, VP of the US under John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, US Senator from SC, then Secretary of State, then became became US Senator from SC util 1850. His run was from 1811 to 1850. Much longer than the Calhoun from CT.

    Thanks for posting. Hurley is my all-time favorite Duke player. I liked when he said that Steve Fisher was maybe the only recruiting call he actually answered because his Dad filtered the process and there were no cell phones. When the hosts asked how much money Fisher offered him, Bobby immediately answered that everyone knew not to try that with his Dad because he was already well-known as a coach of other top talent and had too much integrity. I also liked his story about Bobby Knight going rogue in the final scene in "Blue Chips" and instructing the team not to allow the climactic Penny to Shaq alley oop.
