Hurley's frustration with the officials went viral on Wednesday when cameras caught him telling a referee, "Don't turn your back on me. I'm the best coach in the f---ing sport." The UConn coach admitted to that outburst but said he just wanted "some level of communication" from the officials.

Connecticut men's basketball coach Dan Hurley addressed his berating of an official on Tuesday vs. Butler after shouting 'don't turn your back on me.'

UConn led by 15 points in the first half and had an eight-point lead at halftime. But Butler erased a nine-point deficit in the final 6:50 of regulation and took a two-point lead before Karaban’s jumper with 1:43 left sent the game to overtime tied at 68. The Huskies ultimately pulled out the two-point win.
