Hurley to the Lakers??

[Gemini95]

According to Adrian Wojnarowski Lakers are in serious talks with Hurley on a long term deal.

Please baby Jesus get this jackwagon out of college bb. His ego is a better fit for NBA.

That would be very .. fitting....

 

[Professor Emeritus]

He could confront Zach on the floor multiple times a year!

Not sure I see the fit… either way…. I don’t see NBA stars putting up with his act…. And don’t see why he would want to jump on that sinking ship, other than for a massive payday. Have all their cap tied up in 2 guys who are old and/or constantly hurt, and have traded away most of their future draft picks… maybe he’s just tired of the portal/NIL circus.

massive payday.

I think you nailed it

 

[KenTre1983]

The Lakers reportedly are offering a $10 million per year pay raise and a six-year deal. If I’m Hurley, I’m saying, “Hire me to fire me.” It’s a no-lose situation for him. If he stays in Storrs, he’s a dope.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Don't see a fit. But hope it happens. He is just a guy that is easy to dislike.

 

[DrEss]

I read his wife is from the west coast, so that would be another reason to move. He is young enough to return to the NCAA later, and much richer.

He would have to abide by a salary cap in the nba. He will be exposed that he’s not that good of a coach and a horrible person.

It's win win for him. He's already proved himself in college. So best case he goes to the NBA and makes a ton of money and wins.

Worst case, he goes to the NBA, makes a ton of money, fails, and then returns to pretty much any college team with a coaching opening he wants, and makes a ton of money.

I don't think he is going anywhere. It's a big ego boost for him and may bring him some more $$ from UConn, though.

And in the NBA, he can just coach, and then take the summer off…. instead of begging kids to come, begging kids to stay, and begging donors to pay the kids to stay, all offseason.

And is there any actual "coaching" in the NBA? He can just stand on the side of the court.. yell his favorite color every once in a while and collect a huge paycheck.

Yeah there actually is… and you can tell because the bad ones (Darvin Ham/Nate Bjorkgren) get exposed quickly.

A marriage made in heaven. (hell?)

At least for one more year in LA, no there isn't. LeBron is the coach. If he likes you, you stay.

 

[KenTre1983]

Lakers failed to secure the bag. Less likely Hurley takes the job once he’s back in Storrs.

 

[boilerzz]

He's staying at UConn Damnit.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

He's staying at UConn Damnit.

Kinda surprised since he entertained the idea including going out there. He would have been perfect in LA.

 

[ghostoffatjack]

Staying put to chase the 3-peat!

 

[Wolegib]

No! But so on topic! Let’s talk Brewers baseball or maybe some NCAA track and Field championships!

In a related move to this post, Darvin Hamm is returning to be an assistant coach for the Bucks. Who saw that coming?
