Hurley Head-Butt Should Have Been Tech

UConn coach Dan Hurley lightly head-butted a referee following Braylon Mullins' last-second three-pointer against Duke, a move that many believe should have resulted in a technical foul.

During the chaotic moments after Mullins' shot gave UConn a one-point lead with 0.4 seconds left, Hurley approached a referee and made contact with a head-butt. The action, while seemingly minor, was intentional contact with an official during a live game situation.

Hurley has a reputation for pushing referees to their limits, but this specific action should have drawn a technical foul according to many observers. The UConn coach faces potential repercussions as the team advances to the Final Four.
