He saw his Dad for atleast 15 years turn down more lucrative deals to coach college. Every single year. But Bob was loyal to Jersey City, to the boys and girls club, and St. Anthony’s. That was greater than money. Fast forward to 2024 and Danny surely isnt leaving for a few extra million. Besides, it’s not like he is making 400k. He will most likely make 8 mil per. That’s probably more than he ever expected. One of the most admirable qualities Danny has is self awareness. He knows who he is. He is a northeast guy to the core. With that, he is not just the perfect fit for UConn, UConn is the perfect fit for him. It allows him to be himself and I would argue allows him to maximize his potential. From resources and support, to fan appreciation and how e have embraced not just him, but his wife and son, is invaluable. I truly believe he knows that. I could imagine if he even had a conversation with his dad on potentially leaving. How quick would that conversation be? Obviously, I have been a pro Danny guy from the start. I am not all surprised that he is thriving here(I didn’t expect back to back) but damn this feels good to have him. [/QUOTE]
