UConn men’s basketball coach Don Hurley spoke to OutKick's Dan Dakich about the school's back-to-back national titles and rumors about the Kentucky coaching vacancy.
UConn men’s basketball coach Don Hurley had no intention of leaving the program after winning a second straight national championship this week despite rumors that began to swirl about Kentucky’s coaching vacancy. Hurley deferred to his wife during his postgame press conference Monday, and if his 'no' didn’t come across clearly, there was a reason. In a recent appearance on OutKick’s 'Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich,' Hurley said replacing John Calipari was never an option for him.
UCONN'S DAN HURLEY DEFERS TO WIFE AMID KENTUCKY COACHING RUMORS: 'I CAN'T AFFORD A DIVORCE RIGHT NOW' 'I told them very early on that I have no interest — my wife, my family — we have no interest. Why would you leave the current best program in the country? Why would you leave the best program to go somewhere else?' UConn successfully defended its 2023 national title with a dominant 75-60 win over Purdue Monday night.
