How about this?

Pitino coaches the next 5 years, SJU goes to a Final Four and wins a couple of BE Championships. Right about then Danny's run with the Lakers is blowing up and he decides to come back to college and gets the SJU job....

Everyone is happy!!! LOL

Judging his personality, the NBA history of coaches and the Lakers as well if he goes to the NBA he will be back in college in 3 years.

So it's Hurley to the Lakers and Pitino to UConn?

 

[Jack Williams]

Seriously if this happens it’s gonna be hilarious

Uconn fans thought they had the next decade plus on lock

And they still might but this throws a wrench in their plans

A quick comparison:

He said, "Hey guys. Here is your lesson in leverage and negotiations. I am just squeezing the University for a few more bucks so we have to deal with this nonsense for another day or 2. Business as usual".

If I'm Hurley I go. Coaching LeBron and AD is something you'll talk about forever and have a chance to win the ultimate coaching goal.

If it doesn't workout he'll get a Blue Blood coaching position. UConn may not be on the same level as others in the NIL landscape in a couple of years.

Take the Money Danny!

Bobby.........offered as an assistant coach to his younger brother, who he can still probably beat 11-0 in the driveway, but can't touch him as a HC

Still can't stand that guy...

3 factors 1. pissed that Geno got a big raise (will Lamont pay him) 2. NIL new landscape ( easier to get screamed out by players being paid from organization rather than a kid getting stiffed by Colony Pizza for 5k advertisement 3. Lakers are top franchise but not corporate it’s Jeannie’s team chance to be new face of the organization your best players are from Europe now and Lebron is gone 2 yrs from now.

Hoops Weiss reporting Bobby Hurley got Laker offer

Atleast Hoops isn’t stalking Hurleys Gardener, zagoria probably rolling up like Manish Mehta.

What NIL crap is Uconn dealing with? They get the exact type of kids they want. Their roster is loaded. They are feasting in this NIL world.

He can buy his own psychiatrist though

He could

Hurley even brought it up the NIL in his interview.

I have a new slogan: “For at least 5/75 and you can kiss your favorite college coach goodbye.”

it's not sustainable.

but putting that aside, an nba coach acts more as a ceo. college coaches need be fundraisers, guardians, teachers, etc, etc. compared to the nba, it's not a cushy job.

imo he's gone -- and good for him.

 

[logen]

Again, I have known Danny since his Hall days and have no idea what his mind set would be on this. Nothing left as a challenge at UConn? Looking to leverage with UConn, they just gave Auriemma 5 more years? Etc., etc., etc.
Now that it is out there I would expect a relatively quick resolution

 

[RM86]

So it's Hurley to the Lakers and Pitino to UConn?

No, its Hurley to the Lakers and then Hurley to St. Johns when he gets fired from LA

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Kentucky may be the college job with the most pressure, and the money would not be worth it because you are still dealing with NIL.

Also, take into account whatever Kentucky would offer, is not even in the same stratosphere as what the Lakers could offer.

Hurley could build generational wealth and he also may see the NBA as his next coaching step, since he is a hot commodity.

Really hoping he goes to the Lakers, then don't have to watch the guy whining and crying like a little girl on the sidelines when we're playing uconn.

Make it happen Lakers, please!!!
