Just before practices begin at the University of , coach Dan Hurley likes to throw up multiple half-court shots to try and sink at least one of them. Once he hits one, he immediately lines up for another, hyping himself up by saying ‘Who’s the king of two-in-a-row?’ to which assistants reply ‘You are’ before he inevitably misses.If Hurley hitting two half-court shots in a row is improbable, then winning two national championships in a row must be unfathomable - the basketball equivalent of Absolute Zero. No one had done this since in 2007 and in this day and age of NIL, keeping kids around to pull off such a feat never happens.But improbable, unfathomable, and Absolute Zero as it may be, those odds are now all laughed at by Dan Hurley, the King of Two-in-a-Row. Because that’s what he is now, the first man since his mentor Billy Donovan to win consecutive national titles.
