The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering University of Connecticut coach Dan Hurley for their head coaching position. According to sources, the Lakers are impressed with Hurley’s coaching style and his ability to effectively communicate with his players.
In a recent interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul spoke highly of Hurley’s coaching skills and predicted that he would earn the respect of the Lakers players if he were to become their head coach. Paul expressed his admiration for Hurley’s ability to connect with his players and help them perform at their best during games.
Hurley led UConn to their second consecutive NCAA D-I National Championship in 2019, turning around a struggling program that had missed the NCAA Men’s Tournament for two years. The Lakers hope that Hurley can bring the same level of success to their team and lead them to the NBA Finals, ending their playoff drought since the 2020 season. If hired, Hurley will bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the Lakers organization, potentially leading them to greatness once again.
