Dan Hurley Considers ‘Compelling’ Lakers Head Coach Offer, Decision Expected Monday

Dan Hurley, current coach of the UConn men’s basketball team, told ESPN that the Los Angeles Lakers have made a ‘compelling’ offer to make him the franchise’s new head coach. Hurley, impressed by Vice President Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss, said he will make a final decision on Monday.

The Lakers accelerated their courtship after Hurley informed UConn’s administration and players of the negotiations. Hurley has already won two consecutive national titles with UConn, making him one of the most coveted coaches of the moment.
