UConn coach Dan Hurley is set to meet with Los Angeles Lakers Vice President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss on Friday, sources told ESPN. The Lakers are eager to finalize a deal with Hurley, a two-time national championship coach, and discussions on the contractual terms are already underway.
Hurley informed UConn’s administration on Wednesday and his players on Thursday about his interest in the Lakers’ coaching position. The Lakers aim to swiftly close the deal, hoping Hurley’s NCAA success can translate to the NBA. At 51, Hurley has always expressed a desire to coach in the NBA, and the opportunity to combine his tactical expertise with the storied Lakers brand is highly appealing.
