Overview

• UConn's bid for a historic third consecutive NCAA championship ended with a 77-75 loss to Florida, marked by a controversial post-game outburst from head coach Dan Hurley.
• A viral video captured Hurley's expletive-laden criticism of officiating, which he directed at Florida's coaching staff as he exited the court.
• Joey Ellis, the journalist who posted the video, reported being threatened by UConn communications director Bobby Mullen, who allegedly said he would 'ruin' Ellis's life if the video was not removed.
• Mullen defended his actions, claiming the video captured a private moment in an area where Ellis should not have been, but acknowledged his temper flared after the loss.
• The NCAA and Raleigh police have launched investigations into the incident, raising questions about professionalism and accountability within UConn's basketball program.
