It’s the basketball equal of guessing the variety of jelly beans in an outsized jar: How many F-bombs do you assume Dan Hurley drops in a single UConn apply?
“Did you count?” requested junior wing Jayden Ross, smirking with unbridled curiosity. “Because in two, two-and-a-half hours…”
Fellow junior Solo Ball, in the meantime, took the extra sensible route. “If you think about every sentence,” Ball stated to himself, relying on his fingers, “it’s probably gonna be …”
Nope. Still too unwieldy to calculate, or to even attempt.
Eventually, Ball and Ross — who’ve participated in lots of of Hurley-led practices over time — got here to what they deemed a conservative estimate: “low hundreds” of Hurley’s chosen curse phrase each time the Huskies take the ground for apply.
“But,” Ball added, pausing for dramatic impact, “it works.”
Does it, although?
