Another writer saying Hurley to the Knicks doesn't make much sense. From everything out there it sounds like we can all relax.

For all I know, Hurley is on the phone right now, hearing out Dolan. I just doubt a situation could be presented that would truly interest Hurley.

Mike Anthony: UConn's Dan Hurley to the New York Knicks? Why this NBA job doesn't make sense.​

Most NBA players would rather stretch out their prime and their careers than play an extra 5 mpg for a single season. It is a no brainer from the players' standpoint, and something that Thibodeau doesn't get. Budenholzer is kind of a choker as a game coach, but he got another year out of Middleton's prime with load management, and kept Giannis, Lopez and Holiday fresh for the playoffs. There is no way Thibodeau would have won a title in 2021 with that Bucks' team given the way Thibs coaches.

I don't think Malone is a great game coach, but he got the Nuggets to the playoffs in 2023 with only one starter playing over 70 games and no player averaging 34 mpg or more.

Malone and Budenholzer have rings. What does Thibodeau have?

Dan was at a big awards ceremony last night. Was just talking to a guy who talked to Dan Hurley early on in the night. Dan was way too chill for a guy that was looking to bolt this place.

Phew! Good thing he's way too chill to bolt! Thanks, Dove!

Hey Bull, great point there: the Knicks just fired a guy who brought their team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Back to back deep runs. 50 plus wins. That tells me they are run by a delusional front office. I would want no part of that.

My favorite part of the Hurley coaching rumors is when he turns down an opportunity and then opposing fans start pretending the organization was never interested in the first place. Already seeing it on different platforms.

Dan Hurley makes Knicks stance clear as rumors swirl about UConn coach’s interest

Dan Hurley’s future served as the talk of the college basketball world spanning the nearly 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to Storrs, Conn. around this time last year when the Lakers had an open…

"he 52-year-old focused on the Huskies’ roster for the 2025-26 season rather than discuss whether he’d be a fit to lead several former Villanova stars now wearing orange and blue."

Like the Raptors did with Dwayne Casey in 2018? Hell, Casey even won Coach of the Year a week before they fired him. I'd say that move worked out for the delusional Raptors front office.

Thibs' ceiling has been a running joke in the NBA forever. He's the guy to help turn around a team, not the guy to get you to the mountaintop.
