UConn coach Dan Hurley downplayed his bizarre interaction with an official at the end of Sunday's historic NCAA tournament victory against Duke, saying he thought the veteran referee was looking to "chest bump me to celebrate."

Prety common knowladge to anyone watching Hurley had the refs in his pocket the whole game. Not suprising the ref couldnt help but want to celebrate his big payday!

Exactly, embarrassing for him to even say that.

even though what Hurley did was beyond moronic, I’m proud of the ref for not letting his ego take away a moment from the players

In a game that Duke shot more free throws and one where the final shot had zero impact on the betting line?

How hilarious would it have been if he got T'd up with .4 seconds left up by 1

He should’ve said that he got really up close to his face because he couldn’t hear what the referee was saying because of how loud it was.

I honestly think that is what happened and they both walked a little close and it became awkward and/or more than it seemed.

The article didn't say that he was pulled from the Final Four, it said that he wasn't given a Final Four assignment. Big difference.
