The Los Angeles Lakers have once again been rejected by a high-profile college coach. Two decades after failing in their pursuit of Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, the Lakers have also failed to convince UConn’s Dan Hurley to make a leap to the NBA.

 

 

Hurley emerged as the Lakers’ preferred target for their head coach vacancy in recent days, and the franchise reportedly gave him a six-year, $70 million contract offer this past weekend. While Hurley entertained the Lakers’ offer, he ended up deciding to stay with the Huskies.

 

 

“I am humbled by this entire experience,” Hurley said in a statement released by UConn. “At the end of the day, I am extremely proud of the championship culture we have built at Connecticut. We met as a team before today’s workout and our focus right now is getting better this summer and connecting as a team as we continue to pursue championships.”
