"You know, following Coach Calhoun and Kevin Ollie, who both won National Championships on the men's side, and then you got Geno [Auriemma] over there, who's got like 12 Olympic gold medals and National Championships. We've got to be able to put the blinders on and just keep going forward. I think growing up in Jersey with a Hall of Fame dad, and like maybe the greatest point guard of all time in college as an older brother, I've got like really thick skin, I don't give a shit. I don't care what people's opinion of me is, like, I just want to try to kill the next team I'm playing, like, I don't give a shit what people say, it don't bother me. People think yelling at me during a game on the road... like, that shit don't bother me." - Dan Hurley
