Geno is 70 doesn’t look like he’s retiring soon. You’d figure the next woman’s Coach would be less than half of that. That money would go to Danny.

I actually remember one of the advantages of coaching in the NBA it is strictly basketball and not some of the other things college coaches have to put up with. Those were some of the reasons, Pitino, Calapari, Stevens and Donovan jumped to the pros in the first place.
More to my thinking. UConn's six National Championships since 1999 are the second-most ever for a program over a 25-year period. Only the UCLA dynasty of the 60's and 70's (10) have won more during such a period. UConn has won two less National Championships (6) since 1999 than Kentucky (8) has since winning their first one in 1948 and it is 6 -1 UConn since 1999.
Kentucky is the past; UConn is the present (and yes, that is hard to say).
Never thought id say this but Hurley has actually grown on me. Sure he is a total maniac on the sidelines. But seems to have an intense passion for the game, appears to really enjoy working with the kids on his team, really supports the Big East, plus is a straight shooter and doesn't always give coach speak.
The idea of Danny having a mint julep discussing a loss with “Bubba Booster” would be fun. More likely he would toss it in the guy’s face.

And there are still people arguing that UConn isn't a blue blood. Indiana fans should probably just be happy that once you are a blue blood you apparently can't have your membership revoked.
Statue of Limitations has probably run out on UCLA as well. If not , it should have …

They won a championship more recently though and that many total is harder to revoke.
But their time may come as well.
yea as much his sideline behavior bothers me, he kinda won me over this March by stepping up and defending the Big East, while Val and co chickened out and released a stupid unsigned statement
Can Jay Wright be seduced into trading a micophone for a Kentucky front row seat??? Could he find stores in Lexington to supply his spiffy attire??

Jay Wright is done. He is never coaching again.
I can’t recall , was Hurley the UCONN Coach before or after they were Re Admitted to the BE ?
I also recall that Kevin Ollie won the Championship after Calhoun retired.
Would Hurley have taken the job if they had stayed in the AAC ? Would they ever have the success there that they have in the BE?

Hurley is arrogant and he gets away with too much. Did you see him push cam Spencer who had the ball telling him to move. The ref did and they lost possession BUT that should have warranted a technical. In the last regular season garden game with uconn he even pushed the ref. He is a loud mouth and the refs should start coming down on his antics instead of bowing to his screams

Kevin Ollie won in his first year with Calhoun's team...think Jarvis with Fran's team...And, like Jarvis, was punted within only a few years.
Personally, I think UCONN followed the football opportunity with AAC, it failed. Give them credit to recognize their geographic and competitive power base, The Big East. Boston College and Syracuse both took competitive and market exposure steps back after leaving.
Edited out at the end "....and lastly I have it on good authority that my successor here at UK has terminal cancer. So long Kentucky!"
Kentucky has ‘home-run hire’ lurking after Dan Hurley, Nate Oats pass on replacing John Calipari
“He is the Hail Mary hire, he is the home-run hire. He is who Kentucky is going to make say no.”

"Home Run Hire"? . Sounds like they're going hard after Mike Anderson
