Throughout the course of his career, Dan Hurleyās demeanor has rubbed plenty of people the wrong way. However, no one can deny that heās one of the most successful coaches in college basketball.
Over the past couple of years, there has been a bit of a myth surrounding him and his orange bottle. Fans online started a theory that stated that whenever he drank from it, UConn got into epic runs and didnāt lose a game.

Dan Hurley reveals whatās in his drink
āI just took a sip of my p**s,ā Hurley jokingly told Hurley Mania before claryfing what was his drink of choice. āSo now I go like, about 90 minutes before game, I tip off, I go mushroom coffee with a little MCT. Brain octane into the coffee, you know, just to get that extra advantage over whoever Iām coaching against. And then during the game, Iāll go with a bulletproof Mentalist blend.ā
