Good article from Mike Anthony. Everyone should read it.
Will Hurley still be coaching when he’s 65, like many in his profession?
“No chance,” he said sharply, adamantly. “Zero. No way. Not a chance in hell.”
“If you can’t do this thing, I would never be someone who just hung around after he lost his fastball, where he can’t put everything he’s got into the job, isn’t as sharp,” Hurley said. “Forget legacy, too. I have this thing about me: This is kids’ lives. A head college coach is probably going to have the greatest impact on their lives, besides the parents. When they’re at an age where they can really start to understand and put their life together, who’s going to drive that home?’

Dan Hurley, in his sixth season as UConn men's basketball coach, says his intense approach can't be sustained. He insists he won't be coaching at 65.
