Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[WhereistheDove?]

If he had made the decision to stay, news would've leaked this morning that he had turned the Lakers down.

Why would news have leaked if he turned them down but not if he accepted?

Like this sound of this. I do follow the logic, I mean if he was going to the Lakers, wouldn't the only next press conference be with the Lakers in LA not at UConn saying he's leaving and talking about the Lakers job?

 

[Rudy1927]

I hope he stays but this state/uconn screwed up with the Whalers/ the Pats/ their football coach after the Fiesta Bowl, do you think they can get this done?

 

[ucp990411]

if he decides to leave so be it !!! he is not bigger than UCONN!!!!! Pitino to step in and become new coach

They would never get another penny from me

 

[nomar]

??
Well, you do if you go to UConn to talk to the players first.

There is no press conference. Davis got that from Dickie V, who got it from the practice being scheduled for 2.

 

[UConniki]

Something I don’t like. If he announces he’s staying we are in the same place as on Tuesday but there are massive celebrations like we won a lottery. We didn’t. We avoided a meteor strike. It’s a disaster film.

But the ending is all that matters and it would be a happy ending.

This is huge, I think he is staying and will be the top paid college coach in the country. Maybe this was just about RESPECT. Find out what it means to Dan Hurley.

They locked Geno up....

 

[gsmooth]

And if the worst case scenario happens and Dan Hurley is in LA, they'll still have every opportunity to do that

they will have 30 days. They will have less options with less time.

 

[bjc42]

do we know what the NIL would look like in a deal like that?

 

[greenday61892]

True, you schedule a television special to announce it. Wait no, that's just Lebron.

Yeah I think he stay

 

[blackbird]

They locked Geno up....

Cause Geno comes at a much cheaper price tag

 

[Umami Zen]

I’ve crapped 3 times today

TMI

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Probably just waiting for the Tipton edit at this point

 

[greenday61892]

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.

Uh, quite the opposite, if he's made the decision to leave the Lakers wouldn't be capable of not leaking the news and taking the attention away from the Finals that they're not participating in.

 

[UCTitleTown]

This tells me he's gone. Not about the money, he just wants to coach Bronny.

 

[CTBballfan243]

It feels like in the movie Apollo 13 when capsule is re-entering the atmosphere and we’re waiting to see if the capsule burned up on re-entry or if the parachutes open!!!!

 

[NHRich]

I haven't read all the replies, but I think if the decision was to stay, he would have announced it by now, knowing the impact on Uconn fans.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Hurley announces he is staying one more season to go for the three peat and he will seek an NBA job for the 2025-2026 season. Kiwani is named coach in waiting for roster continuity amd recruiting.

 

[AllHusky]

Yeah. I think part of what we’ll hear from him, whichever way he goes, is an apology that this all got so out of hand.

No way

No. They were finalizing his contract.

I mean in that case. Don't do us any favors.

 

[Jaydumo20]

No. They were finalizing his contract.

This I think is most likely. But in HS I was voted 'most likely' to succeed so it ain't fool proof

 

[greenday61892]

You think he cares more about the impact on fans more than his players?

Also spell UConn correctly.

For what its worth, Storrs Central reporting that everyone has gone quiet.
