Read his quote again. It's fine with being laser focused on your job and a goal. The way he speaks makes him sound like a mental patient. Watching him on the sideline doesn't detract from my opinion of him.
What's he referencing with the "punching up"?
He is more accomplished than his opponents
Thanks.. just seemed so random. Maybe Mas just does it to help with recruiting.
Personally I have no problem with it in this context. The negative context comes when someone goes off the deep end with it and that is not what we are talking about with Hurley.
Parking and food was $130 with no booze! Tickets were expensive floor first row was $850 for 2 seats, which I honestly thought was not bad for that experience....
I totally get and respect what you're saying. And many of the most successful people I know are obsessive as well. Unfortunately many of those people are also miserable in life because they are obsessed with their job and don't have much of an existence outside of it. To keep this on topic, just look at Danny Hurley, who has admitted to having mental health issues, and was not able to enjoy his national championship.
I say all that to say, the most "successful" people I know are the ones who've achieved pure happiness in life. And that usually entails balancing work, family, hobbies and prioritizing mental health. Just my thoughts.
Wow! I wish I was your guest. I would have sprung for a beer (or 2).
A big reason why the late, great Al McGuire left at the very top of his game.
Same probably with Jay Wright.
Mention of the late Al McGuire got me thinking . When Louie left SJU for the Nets , I wonder why Jack Kaiser and the powers that be , didn’t try to get Al here to Coach the Redmen .?
I haven’t researched it but , Al was at Marquette but , before they won their Championship .
Of course , money would have been a factor but , most Catholic Schools at the time were all pretty much paying their Coaches the same ,,Peanuts .
Perfectly stated, 112.
The mention of Al McGuire made me think this was the one who got away. The timing to hire Al never worked out. When Looie left for the Nets Al had already raised the Marquette program up to the SJU job and SJU was able to hire a coach for peanuts to replace Looie.
Al would have been a perfect fit at SJU. He was able to get top NYC ball players to go to Wisconsin. He would have been an incredible recruiter for SJU and always had the press eating out of his hand. He knew his limitations in coaching but always had capable assistants.
SJU missed out on Al.

True, the more valid hypotheses in real estate is that low supply pushes higher prices while lowering demand from those with limited resources.
Well stated kid.
At this point I'm obsessed with getting out of my job and adjusting my work life balance to just life. Just gotta let get my wife to agree that my recent inheritance far surpasses what I'm going to make in the next 5 years anyway so I might as well just retire early.
Take it from experience, no one says I retired too soon. After you adjust to the life, you think I wish I retired earlier. Hope you get your wish fulfilled.Well stated kid.

It's a bit of a catch 22 for me. I do my best(at anything) when I'm stressed, but I don't enjoy it because I'm stressed. I do enjoy the results but I don't enjoy the process. Unfortunately, I don't know any other way.
