UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley takes a framed photo off the wall in his office before practice at the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center on the UConn main campus in Storrs, Conn. Wednesday, June 9, 2021.
Tyler Sizemore / Hearst Connecticut MediaYou’ve see Dan Hurley on the basketball court. But what is the UConn men’s basketball coach like behind the scenes?
