Say it ain’t so Danny! @CoachDanHurley to the ⁦@Lakers⁩ please don’t do this Coach. It’s understandable that these kinds of offers are there for successful Coaches. Coach K had the same offer with a younger LeBron and said NO! You should too. College Basketball needs you!

This just MY OPINION, but if you compare both the Lakers team/Uconn Men’s Basketball program it’s pretty fair to say Uconn>Lakers. With LA (whom have show inpatients) will he get the time [if hired] to build this? Hurley has built uconn into a POWER, but took 4 yrs. #uconn

If Dan Hurley takes the #Lakers job, former #Gophers assistant Kimnai Young will be one of the leading candidates to get the UCONN HC job. #PitinoCoachingTree
