[@johnobrien5037]

Rejecting a professional coaching job isn't always a bad thing, especially in Hurley's case. At UConn, he's developed an old school system of coaching (learned from his father, legendary high school coach at St Anthony's in NJ) that's proven to win championships AND players buy into it. He has the trust of the AD and the administration. It's his show. At the Lakers he'd be dealing with diva players, playing the way they want to play, a front office that has been a proven dysfunctional mess since Jerry Buss died and a LeBron calling some of the shots behind the scenes like put my Div 3 son on the team. Hurley doesn't need that mess.

​@@logitech12345678910right and even if it was actually lying you wouldn't be able to tell just by a look away. Body language experts will tell you you need to establish a baseline first then compare that to what you are seeking. There are any reasons why someone looks away while talking it's not always with regards to a lie.

Lakers are a joke…that’s why

This isn't the Lakers of the 70's,80's 90's up to Kobe 2005. It's a dysfunctional front office mess since Jerry Buss died. Hurley made the right call.

Lakers are a circus at the moment. Nothing can take away the fact that they are the second best team of the NBAs past but its not looking pretty for the next 5 years.

Liar !!!

The Lakers are very fortunate that Dan didn't sign with them. Dan was playing the Lakers to get more money from UConn.

Lakers is poor, period!

We don’t know nothing. What it’s true or not but if he really had a chance to be a Lakers coach he is an idiot for refusing.
