Report reveals Dan Hurley’s stance on Lakers job

Dan Hurley is in discussions with the Los Angeles Lakers about potentially becoming their next head coach, but it sounds like there is a decent chance he could remain with UConn.

According to longtime college basketball reporter Jeff Goodman, Hurley is “50-50” on whether he wants to take the Lakers job or remain with the Huskies. While the Lakers will be able to pay Hurley far more money than UConn, Goodman reports that UConn is offering Hurley a new contract that would make the 51-year-old one of the three highest-paid coaches in college basketball.
