Hurley to Lakers?

You sound like a moron. Lakers or UConn??? Umm, what job is better? Lady Huskies are more popular than the men’s program!
We can at least say one thing ALL of the UConn fans are pleased he’s coming back….
I would as well but if I had the chance at a once in a lifetime opportunity then she would tell me to take it, he has now denied that twice.
It's rich you calling someone else a moron for not understanding a concept as simple as job security. You're even basing it on false assumptions. That Lady Husky basketball is a bigger deal to UConn than the men's program. It's a daft thought by someone who clearly couldn't think of a better argument.
All of the UConn fan base is happy he’s coming back….
He’s a northeast guy. I think as soon as the Knicks, Nets or 76ers job opens he will take it if offered.
1. it's daft to think what you're describing has anything to do with culture. It's pretty apparent you think culture is just some buzzword and really don't understand the meaning when people say it.
2. He would be fine coaching Lebron and AD. You don't even explain why you think it would be hard for a guy who's won titles to coach grown men.
Hurley is staying at Uconn because he can retire at UConn. He'll be fired after 3 years if he can't win with the **** teams the Lakers always put together
They really are, not only won back to back and every time they made a final 4 but kept the hottest coaching commodity from the best 2 jobs in the world of college and pros. Not many programs would have that same success.
yeah, brother. A point by point rebuttal would have been impossible for you so it's the most contrived "Hahahaha" ever conceived. You're being defensive. You really shouldn't start arguments with people if you don't know how to argue.
By which you mean, you can't ever understand the perfect English I'm using. Jeez. You guys ALWAYS confess.
Nobody likes you. Please go away.
I assumed he was staying when he hadn't accepted within 24-48 hours.
Unless the Knicks come calling, he's going to be at UConn for a long time it seems.

I am the first person that wanted him to go to the NBA. Kept thinking we could pluck a player for our last scholly. Having said that, I am happy for him. Not many, in his profession, do the “right” thing. They chase money and their ego and regret it later. He knows he is happy and knows more money won’t make him happier. Good for him. Go cats!
Maybe he is just happy where he is and decided against Lebum’s drama, I would think long and hard.
The Lakers have a LeBron problem.
No good coach in their right mind would want to deal with that at this stage of his career.

Pitino says his greatest regret is taking the Celtics job. That job is on the same level. Knowing that it's not outrageous that Hurley was looking to avoid the same thing.
I wouldn’t want to deal with LeBron as LeBron runs the show. That would probably not work with a personality like Hurley has.
Stay at a place where he’s won 2 titles and the folks he has to answer to are going to give him a lot a grace if he never wins another. He makes a very good living. All needs met
Or take an even bigger paycheck to move across country. Have more pressure and less control. LA is far from the paradise it once may have been. Magic and Kareem ain’t walking through that door.
I’m not a fan of his, and I hope they don’t win any more titles, but I think he made a smart decision.

Uconn and their number of titles in a relatively short amount of time really is tricky to reconcile. Calhoun's success, especially when you consider his winning percentage in the final four, is not a fluke by any reasonable estimation. Yet his last title, and Kevin Ollie's were arguably given away by a certain coach that now calls Fayetteville Arkansas home. Who knows what the future holds for Hurley, but Uconn is way overdue for some brutal losses/choke jobs in the NCAAs.
I agree. The Lakers offer was less than double his current salary. I wouldn’t live in LA for twice my money even.
6 titles in 25 years is disgusting!
How dare their program command respect!
Pretty sure I heard or saw a couple months ago that the Lakers owners were some of the "poorest" NBA owners
Why would anyone want the headache of coaching Lebron? The NBA will be there when he wants it. He has a chance to do something unprecedented. Chris Broussard today said that college basketball doesn’t have the same cache as it once did. Has he seen the NBA finals ratings? The NCAA tournament is and always will be a special time of year and something that is looked forward to. How many of us actually care about the NBA and its playoffs? It’s a shame NIL and the transfer portal have changed the landscape of collegiate athletics. Bring on March Madness and let the games begin.
The stuff about his wife is silly. Also Norlander put out some stuff today saying that the Lakers job is not viewed that highly among NBA people. He said they don’t have much money and obviously have shown they can’t assemble a complete roster.
He may have been cheating on her, I don't know about that.
But, she is definitely the one who said they were moving back up east. It was her decision. I think he really wanted to stay. That's part of the reason he has brought up lately about his regret about not staying here.
