UConn's Dan Hurley Rejects Los Angeles Lakers Offer
Huskies Coach Stays Committed to Storrs
Hurley has built UConn into a national powerhouse, and he's not leaving anytime soon.
WEB Hurley, the son of a Hall of Fame high school coach and brother of Duke legend Bobby Hurley, has built UConn into a national powerhouse. The Huskies have won 20 or more games in each of the past four seasons, and they've reached the NCAA Tournament each year. Hurley has also recruited some of the top players in the country, including Top-10 recruit Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers.
Hurley's success at UConn has made him a hot commodity in the coaching market. Last week, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Los Angeles Lakers had targeted Hurley as a potential replacement for Frank Vogel. However, Hurley has decided to stay at UConn. He released a statement on Twitter saying, "I'm committed to UConn and our players. We have unfinished business here."
Hurley's decision to stay at UConn is a major win for the program. He's one of the best young coaches in the country, and he's only going to get better. With Hurley at the helm, UConn is poised to continue its success for years to come.
