Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 5147677, member: 1559"] I completely disagree with this point. Yes, the money is very important, but the head coach is much more valuable in an era where players can move at will as you need a coach that players want to play for or they will leave. Look at what is happening at USC right now as the top players don't seem to want to play for Lincoln Riley even though the NIL money is good. Look at Liam McNeeley. He was committed to Indiana but came to UConn because of Hurley not because of the money. Does McNeeley come to UConn if Hurley went to the Lakers and, say, Tom Moore became head coach? No. [/QUOTE]
