Probably posted somewhere, but too much to sift through and I think deserves its own thread. Apologies if I missed this earlier.

A statement like that isn’t definitive, the way it might be for an athlete giving a yes or no answer about declaring, where you know what your two options are. A head coaching opportunity could come along in the next few months that was totally unexpected, and he (or they) can - and should - reevaluate options then.

I'd imagine that money is less of a concern for Luke than most because of this. He can wait for the absolute perfect job to make his move.

He has the luxury of waiting 10 years give or take until Dan Hurley retires and possibly take over the UConn job. Just a thought.

Young makes that already at UConn. Murray might starting next year if my guess is right.

Was reading a WSJ article yesterday about how Luke designed our offense. Aside from being a good article, attached below, the author mentioned that Luke was making 558k per year.

 
Although I would hate it initially, I hope they both move on to HC jobs at some point so they can cut their teeth into being a head coach. Then, once Hurley retires, and assuming they do well, we bring one of them back as HC.

The perfect job may end up being UConn
 
I said many months ago that it's quite possible they don't even want to be head coaches right now. Kimani makes $900k per year. That's a mid major head coach salary with 0% of the downside. He has complete job security, is on the right side of the transfer portal, and keeps racking up championships. Why would anybody want to leave a position like that? The low major / mid major head coach lifestyle is not all that attractive anymore with NIL and the portal. It's impossible to retain talent at that level.

I'd like to see both of them--especially Kimani--get that lower-tier high-major job first. Really accomplished AHCs can make that jump.

It's pretty shocking how little money many, many Hollywood actors make. You'd be surprised. They make a ton in appearance money, that's their bread & butter. But I'm not sure people are calling for Murray to give talks etc.

In my work, we regularly bring in creatives in the film, acting, writing world.

Some famous people make $50k-$100k for a 4 month movie. Some well known writers who have best selling books make only $50k on what took them 2 or 3 year to write. One of these writers works as a guidance counselor and had a student walk in and ask if she's related to ... [names the famous writer] ... herself!?! It was her. He couldn't imagine that person working as a counselor.

While Directors and Cinematographers live hand to mouth.

I know someone that wrote, produced, directed her own Hulu series. It had the highest ratings on the service. She moonlighted as 911-Dispatcher.

But if you ask an actor / writer to make a one day appearance at an event, their agents want $20k.

Tommy Lloyd spent 20 seasons as an assistant at Gonzaga and stepped into his first head coaching gig at Arizona. Murray's not even 40. Entirely possible that he enjoys where he's at and recognizes that he might not need to do a stint at a stepping stone gig in a few years.

Bill Murray's net worth is comfortably in the nine figures. He's not punching up scripts for a Hulu miniseries.

I looked it up. He's at $180m. According to an article, almost all the money came from the original Ghostbusters. All four actors together got 30% of the proceeds.

Great news! Why can't they say the name UConn though.
Say "I love it in storrs" or something like that so I can finally put my phone down and play with my kid.

I’ve noticed people saying Storrs a lot lately. I think it’s because Hurley loves to play up the “Basketball Capital of the World” angle in reference to Storrs. It seems like it’s part of his branding message on the regular.

Some people are just happy where they are and that's it. I've had co workers like that, not everyone needs to be top dog. Not saying these two are like that but for some people "x" amount of money and "z" amount of current responsibilities is everything they need, whatever x and z may be.
 
I’m glad they both love it here but if one of them gets offered a great job, the message may change real quick. That’s just life.
 
Interesting blurb about Tom Moore potentially changing roles. Also, IIRC teams can now have 4 assistant coaches?
 
good point from Fanta and I think it ties into Young & Murray, is there alot of upside for them to take one of these mid-major jobs? the other side of it is ADs preferring to hire guys with HC experience or sitting HCs but it seems like assistants from other programs like Duke for example can walk into high major jobs
