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. The NBA pays more. It's the pinnacle of the sport. That's why coaches leave. Some college coaches turn the NBA down, but not many. Hurley leaving, if he does, means nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurley potentially leaving doesn't change that for me. College sports are not finished. College sports "as we know it" is finished. We will start to see advertisements on the floors, uniforms, fields within a couple years I would imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget players no longer being required to attend classes or pursue a degree. I'd bet that's reality in 3-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a Development league for the NBA and maybe even specific teams in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 (edited) 2 hours ago, jv1972iu said: I have a feeling that he’s smart enough to change his approach or style, if that’s what you want to call it. The playing style would fit fine but it is his intensity and demanding style won't fly for NBA players. It would just be hard to coach like that for 82 games. I think in the end he will stay at UCONN. I think it will come down that he doesn't want to live his family across country because they are easy coast people. I could see him going to the NBA if jobs like Philly or New York come open. Edited June 6 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 2 hours ago, Drroogh said: Still doesn’t explain declaring “the college sports we know it is finished.” It wasn't just about Hurley leaving but it was what started it. Seth Greensburg was on there talking about things like players needing to sign contracts and eliminate where a player can leave every year. It also came up whether players will even need to be students if they are considered employees. Seth was very adamant that players still needs to be students because they need to be part of the university. If they aren't students they need to just make club sports and do away with what we have now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I doesn’t work out with the Lakers, he would still be welcomed back with open arms to UCONN or anywhere else in college for that matter. I think he takes the opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you know he'd love the Knicks job. I think Snooki would be thrilled if he even took the Nets job. It's no secret that Andrea is a Jersey girl through and through, growing up in Freehold (Bruce Springsteen's hometown!) and later Toms River. "I channel my Jackie Kennedy," she told Hearst CT Media last year, "but I can go to Snooki in five seconds." https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/article/dan-hurley-los-angeles-lakers-coach-reasons-stay-19499945.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
