Coach Anthony Ridley

Dan Hurley says coaches should be a jockey in practice and a corner man during games “I understand the two different roles I’ve got to play for the players in preparation. In practices, I’ve got to push for game-like reps so that on game night they can execute.” “On game night, I go to boxing trainer in the corner with the fighter, pumping them up, building up their confidence.” “You’ve got this practice persona where you push for the preparation, and then on game night you become that person that’s trying to convince them throughout the game that they can do anything.” “Any anger you see on game night for me is always at the referees. They know I love them. I invested time in them, so they let me do my job.”
