[UConn Dan]

I don't want to hear any more about Hurley using this experience to bask in the limelight and stroke his ego

we're 3peating so technically he's on the recruiting trail working on number four

Only about 15 posts in the past hour. I'm getting bored.

 

[Ha Who]

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

Not a fan of that term, but in this case the shoe fits

Reading this entire thread in hindsight is going to be really entertaining and hilarious.

Narrator: He was not, in fact, humbled by the experience

I think Dan was the Lakers to lose. He got on the plane. But it sounds like the offer came in low. I also get the feeling that he saw that he would not be entering a situation set up for him to succeed. He could absolutely be a top head coach in the NBA. He's more than just a yeller, he understands ball players and what makes them tick.

I never wanted to hear that.

Even if it’s true, have we seen any evidence that his work ethic or passion or recruiting has suffered? Then no one should say Jack.

If he used this last month to bask in his unbelievable turn of events the last few years, while working his butt off on his 3rd straight chip, I’m cool with that and you should be too.

Alright next rivalry match is up UConn versus Mansfield Planning and Zoning

I don't think their P+Z hears anything about UConn growth. State land. State use.

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”

tbh they both play an agenda game, last year Shams was driving gambling activity with fake info on the day of the draft

Of course he had to throw in the donations and NIL

How much Laker exposure did Luke Walton get and did it help him? Nope.

He got another head coaching job. I'd call that a Yup

Don't agree. Not just based on what I've read but on how this all played out.

He was interested in listening. Maybe if the Lakers totally blew him away -- with dollars and assurances -- it would have swayed him, but UConn was always the clubhouse leader.

And that didn't work out either.

People are so dumb.

This is the $14M a year and the Los Angeles lakers. It is Lebron and AD next year plus a Kent star.

Giannis is headed there in the future.

i said him going to Kentucky made no sense. But this is the lakers.

Showtime ,Shaq, Kobe, wilt, Kareem, and now LeBron.

Holy crap.

Ahhh, well. Danny said goodbye to Hollywood.

I see Lakers fans are taking this news well:

For real though, who were their last five coaches? I don't know anyone past Jackson.

Darvin Ham
Frank Vogle
Luke Walton
Mike Brown

I think. Not sure about the fifth….?

 

[Scottobot]

I think he made the right choice. He built a great program at UConn, and should enjoy what he built for atleast a few more years before moving on. As many other people have pointed out the current coach for Knicks is 66 years old, so Hurley can enjoy his program at UConn for 4-5 years and eventually take that job when Tibs retires.

Are we ever gonna find out what exactly the hell actually happened over the last 72 hrs?

Sure. If John Fanta or Simon Charles write a book.

I don't think there's anything to find out. He was offered a job in the NBA which is his dream, and took a weekend to think it over. I mean has no one here ever been offered a job and taken a little time to think about it especially when it involves uprooting your entire life to move 3000 miles away to the other side of the country?
