Seeking6 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Don't know much about the family but saw on Twitter where Hurley once said his wife had a hard problem moving from Rhode Island to UConn....we'll see on this one. From a coaching perspective it's the pinnacle job in the NBA and all of basketball probably. Of course it's been watered down over the years but it's still the Lakers. We shall see.

IU Scott Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 If this happens then that is another indictment of coaching in college. I think these coaches are just tired dealing with the transfer portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurley's dream was always to coach in the NBA, and it is hard to argue that Lakers head coach is not the pinnacle of the NBA 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I would assume this late in the process that UCONN would have to hire one of the assistants as an interim coach. It is probably to late to make a national search since players are already coming back to campus. Plus all of the players will hit the portal and with no coach you have little chance if retaining those players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with CT being a high tax state this won't be about $. All about timing, family, and the landscape of college basketball. It's why Stevens said no to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that using the 1 person who has excelled under the current NCAA conditions with 2 national championships, of all people wouldn't want to leave just because it's poo poo. If Self, Few, or Painter were to leave, Calipari... and the like.... maybe.... would be a better. Hurley has always said he wanted to be an NBA head coach. I just think using Hurley as the platform to take this jump with is a bad example. Not saying it isnt there, just a bad example in using Hurley.
