Dan,

You talked about the TEAM, selflessness, culture, kids who don't have NIL as their main priority, sacrifice, interviewing kids parents.

Well, the NBA is babysitting guys who make 50+ million dollars a year.

You are a defensive coaching genius. They don't play defense in the NBA.

Hi Coach. What my friend meant to say is don’t do it!!’ Beaches are over rated. After one winter you will miss the north east. Plus, these are not your dad’s Lakers. Jerry West isn’t running the show!! Besides, you are King Kong right now. Why chose to be another little ape? Not everything that shines is gold.

You lost me at beaches are overrated
 
Dear Dan
Of course you went to LA with a mental list of players on that team that you know could never play for you. And of course, when you told them, they told you there's no way those dudes are going anywhere. Decision made. Well played.

Regards

Thank you I forgot about this song. I spent some time with KC and the Band in their later years helping them with their security and logistics when they were playing events for large companies.

That’s cool. I don’t know why, but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread.
 
Whatever the amount of the contract is sometimes it isn’t worth the hardship that the new coach and family go through. Yes there is more to see in LA than Manchester. But getting to any location out west would take hours. To Storrs it’s 20 minutes. How many college coaches have had success in the NBA? Not many. However that’s not to say that you will not.

You get to coach the current best player in the league. Or is it; fold and put his clothes in his locker until he retires. Plus, the Lakers need to draft his son. I’m sure that he will be a great player one day after learning how to play basketball under your tutelage. That should take you through the length of your new contract. Am sorry but I forgot that once dad retires he will be your new boss. That should be interesting. Labron can team up with the Ball Family. That would be an awesome circus show.

In the meantime you have 12 kids that will win another NCAA Championships one day. That will happen. Sadly somewhere along the years you will be back coaching NCAA hoops. I’m sure that Arkansas will have had enough of Calipari and his crap by then. So a job opportunity will be there. Plus, a ton of NIL money will be available from Walmart the states largest employer.

Whatever you decide to do I wish you and your family my best. All of us that live in Connecticut can’t thank you enough for your accomplishments. You solidified our State as the Basketball Capital of the World. Thank you very much and best wishes.

Coach,
I don't see you as a big ego guy. You want to win every game because the challenge and the Love and satisfaction you get when succeeding.
That formula might not workout the same out in LA.

After living half of my life in SoCal as a Lakers fan, I know the fandom in LA. Their Love is like a teenage . Quick, fleeting and too soon forgotten. You're only as good as your last win. They will Hate you after the first loss.
So what if you can buy the best house, in your favorite neighborhood with garages full of your favorite trucks and dream sports cars. Or secure financial security for generations of little Hurleys.

We will Love you forever. We will build statues in your honor. We will express nothing but Love and support on social media.

Stay.......just a little bit longer.
 
Dear Coach,

You have the chance to be the greatest men's college coach in history. Legacy is always better than money. Please stay.

XOXO,

BlueAndOldGold

PS- If you MUST go to the NBA, wait a few years and go for the Knicks, Nets, or Celtics.

This is what I have been hollering. The Knicks, Nets, and even the 76ers will keep him and Andrea in the Northeast and those teams have more assets to build a team and better patience to allow Hurley to craft the team to his specifications and liking (i.e. Brad Stevens). Even if he doesn't win another championship at UConn in the next few years, they will by and large be successful seasons and he will still be a hot candidate. Now, if UConn does win more championship(s), he is building a monumental HOF legacy just off his career at UConn alone before any consideration to how he performs in the NBA.
 
Dear Dan the Manson clan may no longer be around anymore but history can repeat itself and you are not Sharon Tate.

I’ve not seen the proposal, but let’s say 10M a year, guaranteed for 3-5 years. Do you say no? I‘d say, where do I sign?

50% of the players earn more than that
 
Does anyone have access to the StorrsCentral premium stuff? Anything posted there that hasn’t been released elsewhere so far?

Assume not but figured I’d ask what is being posted there right now ….

I hope he is not as greedy as you, Uconn is paying him pretty good. How much money does he need ? And is he really going to leave his players and coaching staff hanging like Edsal. How about leaving Karaban hanging !!! Calhoun and Geno were made big offers by other schools back in the day but they were loyal to the program.
