I'm actually curious, what does it mean to you for someone's seat to be hot?

To me, that means that the person who could fire them is considering it.  It doesn't mean that some fans of the school somewhere are saying the coach should be fired - someone's seat "heating up" has always meant that the AD or GM or whoever could fire a guy is considering or headed towards doing it.

That was pretty clearly not the case at UConn, based on the article you posted.  And I'm sure they're glad it wasn't right now.

Here was your explanation:

"I mentioned that Hurley's seat maybe was getting hot before the season. I even cited an article which discussed that, and included the rejection of said claims by the coach and the AD (what a shocker!). The fact that the article was written, and that the coach and the AD even addressed the claim, was the important part. Of course, Spark, when faced with that, just focused on how the coach and the AD denied the proposition. (Shocking!) That is from the Tempo School of Arguing."

The important part was that the AD addressed the suggestion that his seat was getting hot - ignoring that he addressed it by literally mocking people who might've thought that.

Yes, there were idiot UConn fans who wanted Dan Hurley fired for bringing their program back and then losing in the first round two years in a row.  Those fans look particularly stupid right now.  Agree?

Your question is completely irrelevant as it has zilch to do with the point. You still do not get the point of the reference and why it was raised despite it being right there in front of you.

I already told you man, if you want proof I'm intelligent I can show you my IQ test - 14th percentile!

As mentioned, I am guessing it was taken pre-COVID. Because you have lost your fastball.

No again, I see the point.  I took it directly from your post which I quoted.

"The important thing is that the AD addressed it".

The AD was directly asked about it, and his response was to mock people who might think Hurley was on the hot seat.

How did it support your point?  Do you think the fans who wanted Hurley fired before last season for losing in two straight tournaments look really smart now, or do they look really dumb?

Again, absolutely love that you think that.  Just hilarious.

You've been desperately flailing, arguing against yourself, talking that bullshit all afternoon and looked like a complete clown in doing so, again.

I love that you keep trying to project that onto me.

I disagree with your interpretation and do not believe it is accurate. 

And, again, do you really think an AD, before the season, would tell some guy at a blog that the coach was on the "hot seat"? Seriously? How naïve are you?

It is readily apparent that IQ test do not measure naivety.

I think an AD could've answered in a way that didn't openly mock the question for even being asked, yeah.  In fact, I think the huge huge majority of ADs would do that if the question was asked and the guy WAS on the hot seat.  The article makes it clear the AD thought it was a silly question.

I'll ask again, do you think the fans the article was about that wanted Hurley fired before last season look reasonable and smart here?  AOTC?

Something happened during COVID, that's for sure. We knew you were naïve, but man....

You're avoiding the question.

The UConn fans who demanded more, who wanted Dan Hurley fired for losing early in a couple straight tournaments - how do they look now?  Smart?

Would it have been a smart move to capitulate to those fans?

No, he answered it as an AD would and should regardless of the truth. That you are even trumpeting this point is patently ludicrous.

I really do not care, but he could wind up being Kevin Ollie for all we know.

It is completely irrelevant to the point. That you cannot see that says more about you than anything else written today.

We also do not know if he was told to win or he was gone, do we?

Hahaha, the guy laughed at the fact that the question even got asked.

When you just ignore that and project your own views onto him, it’s really easy to pretend you won an argument.

Yes, I don’t doubt that some UConn fans wanted Hurley fired before this season.  There’s no question those fans look pretty dumb for wanting that right now though.

It makes sense that you would continue avoiding the question.  Same thing you did last time.

We both know the answer though.  Those fans who were making the same arguments you are look very very dumb less than one year later.  It’s an amazing argument for not making silly short sighted decisions based on a single elimination tournament, for sure.

As said before, and which Tempo understood, the fact that he even answered a question on the subject was something. That you do not get that has been completely laid bare.
