With the Kentucky coaching job expected to open officially, UConn's Danny Hurley has made it clear that he's sticking with the Huskies, aiming for a third consecutive national title. After UConn's 75-60 victory over Purdue to clinch the NCAA tournament championship, Hurley joked with reporters about the rumors linking him to Kentucky, saying it's not a concern and they should ask his wife, Andrea, a New Jersey native. He humorously mentioned that he can't afford a divorce after just starting to make money and moving her further from home.
Hurley also shared his thoughts on the future of the UConn program, expressing excitement about the possibility of creating a modern dynasty by winning three titles in a row. UConn officials are supportive of Hurley's vision, having rewarded him with a substantial contract extension following his initial national title win. Athletic director David Benedict expressed pride in Hurley's coaching abilities, highlighting the ongoing efforts to support and retain him and his staff.
Looking ahead, Hurley emphasized his focus on preparing for the next season at UConn, including discussions about the roster and potential NBA early entries. Despite the speculation surrounding coaching vacancies like Kentucky, Hurley is committed to UConn's continued success and is already planning for the future, starting with conversations during the flight back home.
