What did Dan Hurley mean by calling UConn's big men ‘Oppenheimer' after preseason win?

Dan Hurley, the head coach of the UConn Huskies, likened his big men, Na Jai Hines and Oskar Giltay, to the character Oppenheimer in the movie Oppenheimer after their exhibition game against Michigan State. The comparison, which came during a postgame press conference, was Hurley's way of expressing his dissatisfaction with the performance of the two centers.

Hines and Giltay combined for nine fouls and only eight rebounds in the 78-70 victory, which was considered a poor showing. Hurley, while issuing an apology for his profanity, did not elaborate on the meaning behind his Oppenheimer comment, leaving fans and analysts to speculate as to whether he meant their performances were lackluster or that he was simply expressing frustration.
