Dan Hurley has officially signed a six-year, $50 million dollar contract extension.

[TheHorde]

Who is Zolak and why should we care what he thinks..i.e. Rob Parker saying UCONN is not a BlueBlood......Haters gonna hate.

Zo needs to stick to football and the Patriots. He’s out of his lane.

 

[huskeynut]

Excellent news!!!!

As to the "experts", "journalists" and bloggers, don't care what many of you think or say. UConn is the college basketball capitol of the world. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Now let's hope the Knicks go on a fantastic 5 year run

And Boston and maybe Philly and Brooklyn

 

[bigknight3]

Who cares. Lets not worry about the NBA, Danny is coming back next year and as of now he signed up through 2030. Let's be happy with that!!

Signed up through 2030. (With the clear option to leave...)

The people commenting clearly care about that additional caveat that your glazing over

idk why he's so insistent on a low buyout. it's not like teams will be deterred by even a 10m buyout with the finances of (non-lakers) teams.

 

[jleves]

Are the NCAA incentives cumulative or the highest amount? ie. is a National Championship worth 500k or 1.275M?

That buyout money that a team pays could still be money that goes to him in his contract. It’s not just extra. The buyout number is almost certainly not going to determine whether he stays or goes in the future but it still makes sense for him to want it low

I understand that but it trades at some ratio greater than 1 in terms of benefit to old team / cost to his next contract. if UConn has the security of a larger buyout then they should be willing to pay him more currently. it's the whole NPV thing.

Cumulative

 

[temery]

As long as there is a buyout large enough to keep current players/recruits in the year he leaves, it's a great deal.

He's in a position to bargain for maximum flexibility, so why not?

Here are the buyouts for people that haven't seen

 

[Gampel91]

These facts still won't stop the whiny grumpy CT chuckleheads from endlessly complaining about how the states' taxpayers "pay too much for our basketball coaches"

Ken Krayeske would like to know how many dimes back he will give.

[Irvine]

Worth every penny

Would be curious at what point it is not worth every penny

 

[huskymedic]

The 3 assistants getting all new contracts too, interested to see how much increase they all received.

No $ but length of contracts:

 

[jibsey]

No $ but length of contracts:

Danny, Luke and Kimani. Keeping this coaching team together is the best guarantee of success.

 

[NJHusky]

No $ but length of contracts:

wonder why Tom only signed a 1 year v 3 year for Luke & Kimani

 

[huskymedic]

No $ but length of contracts:

Updated w/ numbers:

-> UConn assistant coaches Kimani Young, Luke Murray and Tom Moore – who Hurley refers to as the best staff in the nation – have also agreed to new contracts, a UConn source confirmed. Young and Murray will receive $400,000 per year base salaries, with Moore earning $375,000.

Young and Murray will also receive supplemental salaries for speaking, consulting and media, ranging from $300,000 to $450,000 annually over the next three years. The two can also earn $50,000 in retention bonuses each of the next three years and up to $50,000 in performance bonuses, plus up to $100,000 in postseason bonuses. Moore, who signed a one-year deal, is also eligible for up to $50,000 in postseason bonuses. <-

Tom Moore is doing a gm kind of role, but idk what the length of his deal means. this is a new role in college sports and the eval standards are evolving. I dont think he wants to leave.
