UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley is unapologetically himself, no matter what. He reminded everyone while at the White House on Tuesday.
After winning his second consecutive collegiate men’s basketball national championship in 2024, the NCAA head coach was invited to celebrate his title at the White House with President Joe Biden.
Hurley had some highlights of his own during the celebration, including a moment in which he discussed his lucky dragon underwear. It wasn’t the talking point that many would have used if they had the opportunity to visit the White House, but it was what Hurley chose anyway.

“I thought this would be easier, year two. Oh man, I’ve been to the White House before. This is scary as sh$&!”

Later in the visit, Hurley then spoke about the honor he had on that day.
According to the head coach, he thought it would get easier to speak at the White House this time around because it was no longer his first time there to celebrate a national championship.
Instead, however, he was it was “scary as [expletive]” before getting a big laugh from everyone listening to him speak.
Never change, Coach Hurley. You are perfect just the way you are.
