My advice is to drinkWhat are we supposed to do until 2pm, work?
IMO-From a UConn perspective this negotiation is complicated. It involves a newly constructed contract for the HC and additional contractual financial concessions for his coaching staff. An increase in NIL budget. DB has to find the money-whether private or public- to make the math work. Multiple parties and multiple discussions/meetings -including with Dan's agent. A lot of balls in the air prior to closure.
I believe Dan wants to do this the right way for himself and his organization. His decision affects many other people that he cares about. By moving his announcement/team meeting to 2.. I'm sure its allowing some if not all of these pieces to fall into place. I believe his silence has everything to do with being "coached" by his agent to not show his cards publicly until all of the above has been satisfied.
I don't see DH telling anyone anything prior to letting the players and assistant coaches know what he decided.I predict at 1:00 pm there’s a statement and a press conference scheduled for soon.
UConn Basketball is all this God-forsaken state has going for it.Danny needs to be in the Top 2 paid college coaches. Like Self, he has two Natties. He is young, cool and is still ascending. I can't believe Connecticut doesn't see the value here.
Of course the flip side to that coin is… coach rejects massive deal from the Lebrons, I mean Lakers, to chase 3peat and coach YOU.Personally if I was on the team I'm not sure I'd want to walk into a party after my coach has been flirting with leaving his job. It seems a bit self-congratulatory. It's like an owner of a business throwing a party when he sells it off to a private equity firm and no one at the party has equity.
He literally just met with them on Friday. What is he stretching?Let him leave, the fact he’s stretching this decision out like LeBron is annoying as F
Thank you for understanding the greater purpose in all this.For the record, my post was in the original thread, and I assume an administrator moved it to its own thread. It was not my intent to start a whole new thread. I know how important it is to go for the all-time post count record.![]()
I agree too. Too much cloak and dagger. Maybe it's a defense mechanism but I feel a gut punch coming.Yeah, I agree it doesn’t look good for Hurley staying. That being said, if Kimani, Luke, and even eelJim Calhoun can rally the team we’ll be OK.
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock , four…….. maybe before we all go stark raving crazy we rock around the clock some more,,!!! ! !,!!! !!!!20 minutes.
That's how I feel too. Only caveat is a new contract.In a setup like this, how can it be anything other than he's leaving?
He's leaving. I'll be very surprised if he stayed.
If he had made the decision to stay, news would've leaked this morning that he had turned the Lakers down.
Instead we have the news held up to talk to the players.
