A conversation with Dan and Andrea Hurley | This Week in Connecticut

They are one of the state’s most prominent couples: UConn men’s basketball head coach Dan Hurley and his wife, Andrea. News 8's Dennis House sat down with them for an intimate conversation for This Week in Connecticut.

What I appreciate most about Coach Hurley is how candid and honest he is. Like him, I’ve had issues with anxiety and depression and it’s so meaningful for him to acknowledge his challenges along those lines and how he continues to deal successfully with them.

These people are so Jersey City...lol. They fit in well at UCONN which is great though. Calhoun isn't from Connecticut either...but fit in perfectly.

Dude married above his head. She’s beautiful.

Coach and Mrs.Hurley, you are a beautiful couple and the players and community r lucky to have you both. You have made me a Husky fan now . City boy at she 62, similyrough edges when younger. I admire the strength of Mrs and the friendship you share. CLASS ACT. Go win this thing again tonight.

Great interview. I can relate to their feelings about each other. I was married to my "best friend" for over 50 years. We just enjoyed being "together". As they said, up's and down's are inevitable, but you deal with it like adults and work things out. True friendship is all about that for sure. I lost my best friend awhile back. There are no words to describe how that feels. She was half of who I am. The Hurley's remind me of our life together. I hope they have many more years of being best friends. There is nothing more precious. They are creating "memories" that will sustain them for the rest of their lives. The marriage vow includes the saying "until death do us doesn't.

U Conn is lucky to have this couple. Back to back titles is almost a foregone conclusion.

[humblehugh]

I went to high school with the Hurley Brothers in St Anthony Jersey City NJ in 1988 .

Coach may have had his doubts. I never did. I had coach envy when he was at Rhode Island. And I have no doubt he'll win more, either!

[imterpsfan]

Andrea actually has more fire and passion than her husband...she is so likeable! She is definitely Jersey to the core.

Why aren’t there women
Like this anymore?

In the final game, after watching this man chase a opposing player (Zach Edey) out to half court to "chew" him out, I have zero respect for him. He desereved a warning the first time and ejected from the game the next time his feet were on the playing surface. Watch the game again and count how many times he was on the court. He is a poor excuse for a role model.
