Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5024435, member: 12253"] that makes a lot of sense. I may have oversold the admins on this particular round, but the uconn job is obviously not a toxic/unhealthy one for him, and is enough "overall" value (quality-of-life-wise) that he chose to remain in it, regardless of the lakers offer existing or not. If it was a bad job or otherwise unfulfilling, he could leave to another school in the northeast. I'm sure rutgers would kill to get him running their program and put him close to home. I hope that he stays long enough here, to get us into P4 and to cement the program prestige-wise such that our next hire is a proven winner, and also of up-and-coming-age with youth and hunger, so that we don't go through a kevin-ollie situation all over again. We don't have the athletic dept stability, currently, to take chances on a new guy, which also is why i've been nervous about his leaving now. I would hope he stays forever till retirement, but this lakers dress rehearsal makes it clear to me that his long term thinking is 100% beyond Connecticut; he WILL leave; it's just a matter of time. :( that being said, once those things i mentioned earlier are hopefully in place, i would not mind seeing Dan Hurley as coach of the Knicks, if he is really hell-bent on going to NBA.
