Lip-readers think Dan Hurley berated a ref with a bold NSFW claim

It’s an understatement to say that Dan Hurley shows his emotions on the court while coaching UConn. This is a man who has pushed his own player mid-play and who has dropped F-bombs a lot.

The latest? He was complaining to a referee on Tuesday night in the Huskies’ win over Butler and lip-readers think he said this: “Don’t turn your back on me, I’m the best coach in the [expletive]-ing sport.”

LOL! As far as I can tell, that seems right, and it’s so funny. Here’s what he said after, via ESPN, about the outburst that got caught on camera:

“I just wish they put the camera on the other coach more,” he said. “… I just wish they would show these other coaches losing their minds at the officials in other Big East games that I’m coaching where … I’m not talking to officials; I see the other coaches as demonstrative as I am.

“But the camera, obviously … I’ve created this for myself. I’m not the victim.”

Here’s that moment:
