Hurley agrees to new 6 year contract

[Jbirdp5]

Also great PR move by having Woj break the news on the day of the nba draft…..nba fans that wouldn’t normally see this are all following Woj leading up to the draft

It's official, Dan Hurley makes more money than we get from the Big East broadcast rights. It highlights the need to move to a P5 conference.

On the flip side I remember the hand wringing here that we would never be able to pay him unless we had a P5 deal. Wasn't true then, obviously isn't true now.

Or is it?

Are positing we have a P5 deal? You poor sap.

 

[JSB60]

That should put an end to the nonsense that we have to go B12 to keep Hurley.

... or unless we knew when was in the offing.

(Still Doomed!)

Woj calls karaban a 2024 first round pick……interesting

6-8 shooter, versatile scorer and better athleticism than we think. He looks like an nba player to me.

If anyone here questions this move I will personally fight you (figuratively, I’m a total pacifist).

A+ move!

Not bad for a guy that Boneyarders were about to put on the coaching hot seat 4 months ago

To be fair if we got bounced by Iona that seat would have been toasty....funny how winning 6 games in a row changes everything. This program and coach are now built for long term success.

 

[NJHusky]

I guess Hurley is picking up the pre draft dinner bill!!

 

[Waquoit]

To be fair if we got bounced by Iona that seat would have been toasty

And to fair, if we didn't make the tournament questions would have been asked.

 

[Waquoit]

Interesting Woj broke the story instead of a national college reporter or one of our best guys

This way it gets mentioned all night during NBA draft coverage. ESPN loves blowing their own horn.

I think everyone knows that he’s an nba player ……this is the first time anyone has said he’s probably a first rounder this coming year tho

We're so fortunate to be blessed with now having two generational coaches for our MBB team.

Hurley's the real deal. So is our AD.

Epic time to be a fan of all UConn athletics.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I expect this to go a lot better than the last time we gave a coach an extension and raise off of a championship!

 

[Umami Zen]

Remember when Danny said he couldn't take the congrats call from the White House because he was on the phone with his agent??( Originally said recruit but later corrected the comment when pressed).

 

[CTBasketball]

Are positing we have a P5 deal? You poor sap.

On the flip side, he probably signed the extension because we confirmed we are staying in the Big East, like he wants to.

Very true. Either AD DB will take UConn to places we currently dream about or he will become the AD at a huge school. The guy is a rock star.

Great job Mr Hurley. Well deserved

I’m just glad that Grants closed and there’s no more $1 oysters
But to be serious, this great news. Congrats to Coach. I think even the doubters (except maybe freescooter) have come to realize the guy can coach his ass off.

 

[REB1094]

Congrats coach! Well deserved after a rebuilding job that should be a case study on how to build a winning program back up. From lower tier mid major to national champion!

[jayfromfla]

So you're saying the same will happen now?

Could not will

 

[jayfromfla]

Nope. Can you remind us please?

No. My memory is slipping
