But for coaches it's not just about money in and of itself-it's about the intrinsic things in his case that would be knowing he could succeed in the NBA. I remember a conversation I had with a older friend of mine at UConn when I was a high school student at E.O. Smith (high school in Storrs) in the mid 90s. During that conversation he said, "some of these college coaches never should think about leaving their jobs when they have it made" and he was referring to Coach K and Dean Smith when they were getting offers for the NBA and flirted with it. Not to say it would be a bad move for Hurley because he might very well be successful in the NBA, but he has it made at an prestigious top tier elite basketball school. Anyways, I am going to leave my computer and put my hand in the sand and pretend this was never mentioned just to make me feel better, LOL. [/QUOTE]
