Geno Auriemma Shares Reaction To Lakers Targeting Danny Hurley Reports | 6/6/24

[@lukehferris]

Love Geno speaking truth.

[@steve-v5v]

Geno looks amazing. He has discovered the fountain of middle age. He looks much younger than his age. I guess he will coach forever.

[@johaw105]

If JJ is serious about coaching in NBA it would be in his best interest to join Lakers as assistant. Having no experience at all to head coach never seems to work out very well.

[@josephwashington5326]

If Hurley wants him, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

[@pasilu007]

When he's mature enough? He's 51!! 😂

[@bjmora9612]

I think it's Coach K's voice in the Lakers' room helping to lead to this. And I don't disagree = Hurley's a fine choice. Though I wonder why no one thought Ham - or Vogel - could coach through to the next youth movement (post LeBron and AD) because I believe both could have.

[@reneep9972]

Because the so-called "King" didn't approve of those guys. The Lakers could hire Jesus Christ to coach them, but as long as LeBron is still hanging around, LA won't be any good.

[@Bcraw428]

Yeah Gene. You had no idea 🤷🏾 😅

[@SF-my2ym]

Geno already knew what wassup. 🤣🤣🤣

[@paulsamora1348]

Money talks. With that said, why would anyone what to move to CA. Also like Geno said, college is not student athletes anymore. May as well go coach professionals, at least you may be able to keep a players at least 5 years. I was shocked Geno extended for 5 years. I thought he would go after 24-25. He does appear to be in a good place. Maybe UConn is a lot healthier than he is letting on.

[@reneep9972]

UConn women have a great team coming in next year. Even with all the injuries the past few years, they remained a top 8 team in the country. This coming year, they will be a team to be reckoned with. And, I'm right there with you, about why on earth would anybody want to move to California. I've lived here my whole life, and can't wait to get the hell out of here. It's a complete joke of a state, and very embarrassing to admit living here. Connecticut is basketball heaven. If I were Dan Hurley, I'd stay there for the next 20 years.

@@reneep9972 you can always move to North Korea or Iran i bet they'll love your hypocrisy there.

[@jimstevenson424]

Hard to read Geno. He's direct but he's slick. 'Crazy if he doesn't take it': if Geno is helping a friend, then he is greasing the skids for Dan to leave. But Geno's legacy might be Mr. UConn Sports, and Dan could threaten that. UConn sports is in a precarious position. Football loses a lot of money, women's basketball loses money, Geno's been extended, Ollie payoff, players now getting paid. Geno and Mora complaining about not enough for NIL. UConn boosters/bag men need to help come close to the Lakers offer. Benedict's job depends on it. I like Geno, but 3.5 for a program that loses money (not even counting XL rent) just for school recognition is bad business (UConn doesn't have a problem with applicants - arguably the best tech school in the state (F Yale)). Otherwise, drop football. On the flip side, general athletic funds could shrink with Dan leaving, affecting women's BB.

[@d00rs71]

0% chance he leaves

[@daggerthree]

Uconn just can’t pay their all their athletes like SEC or B1G schools. Hurley would be hard pressed to keep winning in the future.

[@manimavuso]

JJ Redick would be excellent but Dan Hurley has to be pursued

[@Guido-ww1jy]

Love Geno, but, he likes being the "big dog on campus". With more parity in womens game and Dans success, wonder if he didn't intentionally "plant the seed"?

[@bimosunupoernomo7120]

Please do not take the job. Stay in zUCon. You do not want go down in the gutter, which is what this job is. Stay in UConn

[@stever1791]

JJ is full of JJ. He wouldn't win

[@Bcraw428]

I love it tho
