Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[hooskies]

As we're all reading tea leaves here, I like that practice is scheduled for 2:00.

Meh even if it ends up being a team meeting you can’t call it that. People would go ahead and run with it

not sure how to feel right now. another hour and a half is gonna be terrible

FYI, peaches is a metaphor.

Great, now that song is going to be in my head for days. Again.

Don't fret, just keep "liking"

I know I am in a tiny minority on this board, but I would not be crushed if Hurley left if we could get sufficient financial support to be a real major player in NIL. I would rather have a $3MM/year coach and a $6MM/year payroll than the other way around.

This is a good point. At some level the resources are limited and the payroll for players will dictate where the talent goes.

It will be quite the thing for them to swing this when the AD is subsidized by student fees, so good luck with that.

NIL was the perfect end around for UConn since the money to players had nothing to do with the AD budget (other than lost donations).

Apparently, Jack Black has a song called "Peaches" too. Discovered it while looking for the video link. It actually came ahead of the Presidents of the United States' version.

Yeah but practice is the official event on the calendar. Doesn’t mean it actually happens after the meeting

 

[aceboon]

a masterpiece being ran by Hurley and his agent on how to maximize all coverage and attention being paid to your client, this is hilarious stuff

 

[JMick]

The more I read, the more convinced I an that this is a setup. They'll have the celebratory activities in place by 2:00 and everyone will go nuts.

Personally if I was on the team I'm not sure I'd want to walk into a party after my coach has been flirting with leaving his job. It seems a bit self-congratulatory. It's like an owner of a business throwing a party when he sells it off to a private equity firm and no one at the party has equity.

State and school officials worked over the weekend on an offer to make Hurley the highest paid college basketball coach.
Whatever the decision, it won't be about the money.

 

[JonnyRI]

To be serious, maybe things running later than planned because now Danny has to stop by HR and sign his new contract?

This song is from the Super Mario Brothers Movie and will get stuck in your head as well. Beware.

So does Justin Bieber. Apparently a popular song title.

 

[uconn_jack]

Today is my anniversary. Forgot to get my wife anything. I'm hoping he announces he is staying so I can text it to her with "Happy Anniversary"!

Source?

I'm gonna bring it up again:
Remember he said "if you're unsure then don't go" to Alex.
DHclearly was torn. We know that now.
How would you feel if you were AK, you used that advice to return and then saw your coach ignore it.
There's no other way to read this. This is the one thing that DH mishandled, if he indeed leaves.

 

[Vancat]

Now we have to follow 2 threads?

Or they're revoking his badge and taking his keys to Gampel...

 

[Mr. French]

I think this is from the Mario movie, his ballad to Princess Peach.

Biebers "Peaches" is my favorite song of the past 15 years. He nailed it. Love that song

 

[Matrim55]

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.

Lighten up, Francis.

Calling LA to say thanks but no thanks

IMO-From a UConn perspective this negotiation is complicated. It involves a newly constructed contract for the HC and additional contractual financial concessions for his coaching staff. An increase in NIL budget. DB has to find the money-whether private or public- to make the math work. Multiple parties and multiple discussions/meetings -including with Dan's agent. A lot of balls in the air prior to closure.

I believe Dan wants to do this the right way for himself and his organization. His decision affects many other people that he cares about. By moving his announcement/team meeting to 2.. I'm sure its allowing some if not all of these pieces to fall into place. I believe his silence has everything to do with being "coached" by his agent to not show his cards publicly until all of the above has been satisfied.

 

[Mister P]

Perfect song while we wait.

As Carly says… ‘stay right here cause these are the good old days’
