Dan Hurley will remain the head coach of the UConn Huskies, the school announced on Tuesday. Hurley had been linked to the Lakers' head coaching vacancy, but he ultimately decided to stay at UConn.
Hurley, 49, has been the head coach at UConn since 2018. He has led the Huskies to two NCAA championships in that time, and he has been named the Big East Coach of the Year twice. Hurley is considered one of the best young coaches in the country, and his decision to stay at UConn is a major coup for the school.
The Lakers were reportedly interested in hiring Hurley because of his success at UConn and his reputation as a player's coach. However, Hurley ultimately decided to stay at UConn because he believes in the school's future and because he wants to continue to build the Huskies into a national powerhouse.
Hurley's decision to stay at UConn is a blow to the Lakers, who are still searching for a head coach. The Lakers have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season, and they are looking for a coach who can turn things around.
Hurley's decision to stay at UConn is a reminder that there is no better job than being a top college coach. The Lakers may be one of the most storied franchises in NBA history, but UConn is one of the most successful programs in college basketball history. Hurley has a chance to build a dynasty at UConn, and he is not going to give that up for anything.
