Dan Hurley is opening up after choosing to stay at UConn instead of coaching the Lakers.<\/p>\n
The reigning two-time national champion coach of the Huskies joined \u201cThe Dan Le Batard Show\u201d for his first interview since Monday, when he rejected a six-year, $70 million offer from the storied NBA franchise.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the worst takes I\u2019ve heard is this was a leverage play by me to improve my situation at UConn,\u201d Hurley said. \u201cI don\u2019t need leverage here. We\u2019ve won back-to-back national championships at this place.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the major storylines regarding Hurley\u2019s decision was his contract, with reports circulating that he intentionally considered NBA candidacies to catalyze a raise in Storrs.<\/p>\n
Hurley, though, referred to that idea as a \u201cconspiracy\u201d and \u201clazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the program, Hurley said he\u2019s had a \u201ccontract in place for a couple of weeks\u201d and mentioned that the \u201cfinancial part in terms of salary has been done for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hurley signed a six-year, $32.1 million contract extension after winning his first title in 2023.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Hurley noted that he\u2019s still \u201cnot comfortable with\u201d contractual components such as NIL and staff salaries.<\/p>\n
Regarding a timetable for a possible move to the pros, Hurley said he first talked to his agent June 3 about other job possibilities, and referred to his choice as \u201cgut-wrenching\u201d \u2014 even entering the morning of June 10, when he ultimately chose to stay at the college level.<\/p>\n
In advance of UConn\u2019s scheduled practice Monday, Hurley remarked that his situation \u201chad become a circus\u201d and \u201cwas weighing on me and my wife and my two sons.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for the appeal of the Lakers, Hurley mentioned the allure of the franchise\u2019s past coaches and having both LeBron James and Anthony Daivs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was something I wanted to potentially explore,\u201d Hurley said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Hurley mentioned he didn\u2019t talk to James throughout the process, but claimed it \u201cwould have been a thrill to coach him.\u201d<\/p>\n
While t\u2019s still have to be crossed on Hurley\u2019s new deal, the coach can now focus on aiming for a three-peat, which hasn\u2019t happened in college basketball since UCLA accomplished it in 1973.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
