Hurley was seen saying, “Look at this guy, come here, come quick, you’re going to get hurt.” Hurley stopped talking to the crowd when officials around him told his coach something.
Hurley described the incident in an interview with reporters.
“You shouldn’t yell at me after 20,” he said, via the Hartford Courant. “You should wait until the game is over and leave. If he hadn’t been barking at me, I wouldn’t have said anything to him. … You shouldn’t be mouthing off at that point in the game. Here. Get out of here, please go.”
