University of Connecticut coach Dan Hurley, who won the NCAA men’s basketball for two consecutive years, signed a six-year, $50 million contract with the University of Connecticut, ESPN and other U.S. media reported on the 9th (Korea time).
Prior to this, Hurley rejected a six-year, $70 million offer from the NBA Lakers.
At the time, Hurley said, “We are proud of the championship culture we have built at the University of Connecticut. We will focus on maintaining our championship status in the next season as well.”
It was then stamped for $20 million less than the Lakers had proposed. 동행복권파워볼
Why did I do that?
Marca said, “The logical conclusion to this is Hurley didn’t want to go to the Lakers, because the Lakers aren’t going to make him one of the five highest paid coaches in the NBA.” Again, it’s about money.
Hurley is expected to receive various incentives in addition to his salary, which is actually similar to the Lakers’ $70 million, these media added.
Hurley, who began his leadership career at Wegener College in 2010, commanded Rhode Island from 2012 to 2018.
Afterwards, he took charge of the University of Connecticut, but his first two years were not good. He also failed to play in the NCAA Tournament.
But then he began rebuilding the program, winning back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024, and rising to the ranks of the top masters.
