If the Lakers hire Hurley, they are not going to hire two assistant coaches with no NBA experience or relationships. Of the 3 UConn assistant coaches, I would think he takes at max one of them.
Sorry. This is complete speculation. You don’t know what the players relationship is with those guys, and you don’t know how much they value UConn as a program.
I hope his stance is "I'm here to listen"; hate to see him write a deal they could say yes to.
most of that time is very chill for the head coach. hurley will tryhard during that time though but still not as time consuming as college.
I think some schools will offer at a minimum 2x nil money and a few kids will take the lead of their head coach and follow the money.
Sorry, you must not be following how this game works.
Ever wonder if either of them got married and/or had kids?
Because they’re friends and have mutual respect for each other personally and professionally so truth matters, and I don’t think that there’s 1 chance in a trillion that GA comment would alter DH decision, he was just being honest which is what their relationship is based on. Calhoun said the exact same thing even more emphatically. JMHO
That's a shi_ity question to ask.
That's what scares me most. It's no secret that Luke is the offensive mastermind, and a Brinks truck offer to land him as well would be about the worst-case scenario. Don't know if they'd take Kimani too, but IMHO Kimani w/o Luke takes our coaching down to level of say Holloway or English, not horrible, but not championship-level.
Can’t see a scenario where Hurley is bringing two college assistants with him to this job. He needs some bench coaches with real NBA experience. My guess is he takes one guy and then fills out his staff with people from across the league like Adrian Griffin, Van Gundy etc. Almost a guarantee there will be a coach on that staff with previous head coaching NBA experience. Just don’t see him bringing Kimani & Luke with him.
I derailed a food thread with basketball discussion.
dan hurley has extreme confidence in himself. a lot of the helium with him and this lakers move is just him envisioning the upside and aiming for it. it's irrational exuberance, but it's also what's gotten him this far.
Except all the reporting around discussions has specifically mentioned part of negotiations will be roster control for Hurley. If he goes it sounds like he will have at least some control over picking the players
And if they promise him that it’s a bold face lie bc Pelinka would have to be fired first. The fact he’s still there after all their down years and bad hires tells you everything about the franchise operates
