Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Jaydumo20]

This is where I despise the trilly fandom. He said his sources had Hurley leaving a few days ago, then changes it as it gets closer, and then everyone says trilly is never wrong. Guys like that (and all the crystal ball guys) make a living just backtracking statements

Yeah, 100% but guess who was accurate the entire time?

Town of Mansfield took down Gurleyville Rd sign and replaced it with Hurleyville. All Gurleyville residents have 24 hours to leave

Danny needs a street on campus named after him now.

once we get done celebrating we gotta discuss what the (bleep) was Fanta doing these past few days

Trying to lower the upcoming Fox TV contract

Bob Sr. is an incredibly unique guy. He turned down a lot of money and opportunities in his life to keep a tiny high school with no gym afloat for many years because that was what was important to him. The things that mean so much to most people like money and vanity don't move him. Family, loyalty, and helping people become better citizens is what moves him. Danny has a lot of basketball people to lean on but it will always be his dad who he listens to and it will always be his dad's lessons that guide him.

Personal story. I was in Connecticut days before Woj broke the story. I was at Kent Falls Brewing and the bartender there sees my Knicks hat when I walk in. Turns out he's a major Knicks fan and we start talking Knicks and he really knows his stuff. I ask him, "You must be from New York?" He says, "Nah, Jersey City." So I tell him my family is from there and we start talking about Danny Hurley and he tells me he's really close with Bob Hurley Sr. to this day and is friends with the whole family. We talked a good half hour or so about everything Hurley and how Bob Sr. is built different than anyone...

I talk to my aunt on the phone the next day and tell her about the Jersey City guy I just met and she starts telling me a bunch of Bob Sr. stories and how he's built different. He moved down to Avon-by-the-Sea NJ. right by by uncle and it was just too pretentious for him so he moved next door to Belmar.

Awesome story. I love that.
You really outdid yourself staying chill through this process.
And one more thing...I personally consider Kent Falls to be the most underrated brewery in the country. You got great taste

When is Cooper Flagg calling Hurley?

Archive this , lets move on

Give us all a minute to bask in the euphoria.

Like I wrote several pages back - putting 2+2+2 together I was pretty confident he was coming back. You just can never be 100% sure.

Woj and Fanta went down a level or two in my book after all of this. One is a tool and the other a muppet.

I see Lakers fans are taking this news well:

If they weren't already aware, this should clue them in on how undesirable their head coaching job is.

 

[jleves]

Apparently he didn't get any sun while in LA.

 

[snowkot]

... and thank you in particular Jim Calhoun. You really did build a culture that is uniquely amazing... one so amazing that the next man up believes in what you built, and what he has built upon, is something that neither the mighty Kentucky of the SEC nor the Los Angeles Lakers with all their glitz and money could match. Truly awesome!

This.

I had a chance to talk shop with coach a few years ago, influences (Dean Smith for him, Al McGuire for me). Generous, genuine, engaged, just a real mensch. The old saying, a house is only as strong as its foundation applies. And thanks to Coach Calhoun, ours is the strongest in the country.

Surely there is no Coach Hurley - Storrs is not the basketball capital of the world - without Coach Calhoun, and Coach Auriemma. #DoublyBlessed!

Maybe UK can give them some suggestions on how to fill undesirable HC positions.

They hired their Mark Pope (Kurt Rambis) 25 years ago!

The Lakers already have a coach.
They are looking for someone to take the blame when the current coach fails, again.

Sour grapes and a complete loser.

 

[blackbird]

to be clear I fully understand how Dan played it, I'm referring to the Woj/Shams ongoing media battle

I said it earlier in this thread, for a while now..it’s been Shams with the actual news and Woj with agendas.

UConn wasn’t giving Hurley what he wanted. So Hurley’s agent leaked about a team that would.

Now it’s a marketing tool for recruits “I turned down the Lakers and Kentucky for this program”

 

[storrsroars]

Show me where and when you posted that.

Innocent until proven guilty and all that. Proving I was doubtful is your job, not mine. But I'll help you along with this:

Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

What about this: UConn leaves the door open for Hurley to return to UConn. Hurley tries it out, gets the payday, doesn't like it and returns in 2-3 years with a lifetime contract at UConn. Interim coach either stays on as assistant (Kimani, Luke or whoever) or pursues position elsewhere. I'd...

Trilly said all along he had no info on this one and wasn't gonna have a scoop before everyone else knew his decision

Shams posted smokescreen draft news just last summer that manipulated the betting markets on Fanduel, who we works with as a partner. He’s wrong plenty.

They’re both hacks with ulterior motivations

Some people need to apologize to Geno now.

Let’s be real, he let the cat out of the bag this morning when he said “I should have told them the Cavs wanted me.”

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

Question: What qualifies a university as being THE college basketball “blue blood”?
