Hurley addressed coaching in the NBA after the title last spring, saying it’s something he aspires to someday but also knows he needs to mellow out first and also wants to put UConn in position where what we accomplished last season (and so far this season) is a year-after-year thing before he’s consider it. The exact line was something along the lines of “I’m not ready for them and they’re not ready for me”

If he wants to make the jump at some point, I certainly wouldn’t bet against him. How many coaches have made the leap from coaching high school to D1 successfully? Or remade their coaching identity to reach another level while at a major program?

Hurley is the elite of the elite in this profession and his ability to keep evolving is a separator (along with his willingness to surround himself with voices who keep challenging him to do so).

Thankfully, if it ever happens — we’re likely talking about years down the road after he has accomplished much more at UConn and with the legacy of the program in a very good place.
