Dan Hurley wants to see his vision with the Huskies through.
Hurley, who turned down a six-year, $70 million contract offer from the Lakers on Monday after days of speculation, is staying put at UConn because he “ultimately couldn’t walk away from a chance to make history and pursue a third straight NCAA title” following the Huskies’ national championship wins in 2023 and 2024, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
“As swept away as Hurley became by the Lakers courtship and vision for him, he ultimately couldn’t walk away from a chance to make history and pursue a third straight NCAA title. Even before Lakers talks, Hurley already had a UConn offer to become one of highest-paid NCAA coaches and those talks will continue, per sources,” Wojnarowski posted Monday afternoon on X.
