Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[AllHusky]

Cracker Jack prize has been found!!

 

[Nostical]

He didn’t want to play for “Clutch Sports!

I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying!

When LeBron says he. ‘Likes your offensive sets’, that’s SuperMax-ese for ‘But we all know this team runs through ME.’

 

[MrJama100]

Now, Laker fans get JJ Redick.

 

[DRBackup]

That Andrea was high fiving Tom Moore about staying says a lot to me. WHEW!!!

 

[DRBackup]

As an aium with over 30 years of affiliation with the University, not to mention a huge fan of the men’s basketball program, I am disgusted with the way he and his people are handling this decision. Stay or go, his reputation is soiled in my view. The University and the storied reputation of the men’s basketball program deserves much much better.

Wow, quite an introduction, huh ??

 

[Gutter King]

Nah man. This is how negotiations work. Just because we're impatient, doesn't mean anything was wrong. He heard an offer on FRIDAY, got UConn's over the weekend, took a day to think about it and announced mid-day.

What else would you want?

This whole process has shown who understands how big business works, and those who operate purely on the emotion of the day. There was nothing strange about this, other than how quickly it popped up after the initial report of how he would want a crack at the NBA.

As an aside, the amount of UConn baseball disrespect on McAfeee right now is unwarranted. Put some respect on Pender's name. Holy crap.

I don't think so. If the state did not step up he would be in LA right now IMO. I think he wanted to be respected as the top coach he is.

Respected? He's the states highest paid employee by millions. We made him a celebrity, we threw him a parade for God's sakes. This was all spectacle, ego and reverse Moneyball.

Dan Hurley will be the next head coach of the Knicks when Thibs’ extension runs to term. He will be 70-71 and retirement will be right there.

PERFECT transition. 4 more years, Hurley will be 55.

And I believe this is exactly how Dan has played it out in his own mind.

 

[TheHorde]

Dom Bomb!

 

[bigknight3]

Let him leave, the fact he’s stretching this decision out like LeBron is annoying as F

Hope you get a personal apology from Hurley for taking to long to make a decision!

 

[uconn_jack]

My brother texted me that he was staying before I was able to catch up on the posts.

Like being told the end of a movie or the final score of a game before finishing watching it.

 

[Kolumbo]

Just think about the precedent this sets for UConn basketball and college basketball. Dan Hurley chose UConn over kentucky and the freaking lakers.

 

[TroyHall98]

Yeah and it's not the slight you think it is. Calm down Karen.

didn’t say it was a slight. My point is that the university could have been treated better in the process.

Wow, quite an introduction, huh ??

I am not the only one who thinks this way. Now that he is staying, I’d like to see a commitment to continue what he started.

He deserved to be paid. He earned it. The results he is delivering more than pay for his contract.

 

[Scott2Tate]

I've got an interview at 3.

So great to have the news about Hurley before calling in! The anxiety has been killing me

 

[huskidork]

UCONN UCONN UConn!!!!!!

 

[F101Voodoo]

If you d

I'm going to go have lunch. Hope I don't throw it up in a half hour.

If you do upchuck make sure you are facing west southwest but do not hit San Diego by accident ……. Think Lakers, puke

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

Omfg, Dan Hurley turned down big money from Kentucky and the Lakers to stay at UConn and just did the most epic thing in CT sports history. Build the damn statue.

 

[MTHusky]

"My gut is going against all the doom & gloomer's here and it's telling me he is going to say!" Wow, my first prediction on The Boneyard was correct.

The parade was for the TEAM, dinglehopper.
