UConn coach Dan Hurley must face the difficult question that will define the next chapter of his career.

Hurley is a highly successful, 52-year-old man with psychological trauma that he has talked about publicly many times.

There is no version of Hurley that isn’t going to run hot when he’s on the sideline.

UConn coach says he needs to change if he can before he goes down the Bobby Knight path of self-destruction.

The complex part is that it’s great for the sport to have coaches like Hurley who are forces of nature, who have undeniable swagger, who show emotion and say what they think.

But you can tell it hurts on some level to be constantly talking about and thinking about his behavior.
