The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly in hot pursuit of UConn head men's basketball coach Dan Hurley in hopes of making him the franchise's next head coach.…
Bob Hurley Sr. turned down a lot of jobs in his day to stay at a smaller school that eventually ran out of money. So there is precedence within the family to stay put.
But college sports in general are falling apart under NIL and new transfer rules. Everybody who can get out is getting out. It’s easier to know who is on an NBA team than a college team these days. There’s just more continuity there, instead of having to rebuild everything from scratch every year.
Also, college is consolidating around B1G and SEC … UConn might soon find itself without the donor base to compete.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Dan left. The NCAA in its current state doesn’t deserve him.
