You've been punk'd.
After ASU announced Bobby Hurley was hired as its men's basketball coach, a Twitter account under his name, @ASUCoachHurley, emerged.
Can't wait to spend some time with everyone at Wells Fargo and the @942Crew #ForksUp

The problem was Bobby Hurley already had a Twitter account, @BobbyHurley11, that reached 30,000 followers on Thursday.
The account took Hurley's real Twitter picture and inserted an ASU pitchfork in it.
The fake account fooled much of Twitter, including ASU offensive coordinator Mike Norvell.
@ASUCoachHurley Welcome to Paradise Coach! Can't wait to the see the Devil's on the hardwood! #SunDevilBrotherhood #Boom

But the show came to an end Thursday evening when the fake Hurley gave it away.
