The Lakers Interested In Bringing In Dan Hurley
Prelim Discussions Underway with UConn Huskies Coach
Hurley Is Considered A Top Candidate
Dan Hurley, the head coach of the UConn Huskies men's basketball team, has reportedly been in preliminary discussions with the Los Angeles Lakers about their head coaching vacancy.
Hurley, 49, has been the head coach at UConn since 2018. He has led the Huskies to two NCAA Tournament appearances, including a run to the Final Four in 2021. Hurley is considered one of the top up-and-coming coaches in college basketball.
The Lakers are reportedly looking for a coach who can bring a winning culture to the franchise. They have not won an NBA championship since 2010 and have struggled to make the playoffs in recent years.
If Hurley were to leave UConn for the Lakers, it would be a significant loss for the Huskies. Hurley has been a popular figure in Storrs and has helped to revive the program.
However, the Lakers are reportedly prepared to offer Hurley a massive long-term contract. The Lakers are one of the most storied franchises in NBA history and Hurley would have the opportunity to coach some of the best players in the world.
