Honest Question

[Billy_Mac]

If we go by what Drummond said and they were meeting with Hurley's reps less than 2 hours ago, how do we already have a no? Also, why would Mitch or anyone travel to talk with reps unless they had an idea there was a decent chance. If a guy is a 100% no under no circumstances, why have someone waste time to travel? None of this adds up! I would love to hear opinions...

Because when you’re taking a long shot you do it in person. Especially offering millions. The Crafts have the money to travel so don’t worry about that.

This is Cal’s last gift to us so we have to suffer it.

Rich people got time, especially with private jets.

 

[MegaBlue05]

I’ve had job interviews that ended with me declining the position after 20 minutes.

Maybe this went down like that.

 

[Gimels_mustach]

I don't get it either, if we had zero shot why send a jet with a contract in hand to be publicly humiliated.

A jet that is still sitting at LGA after many hours.

Honest question - why don't you put the question in the thread title?

 

[AbbieLex]

It looks like the gold standard may be no more.

Because UK had to make him say no because he’s the best coach in the country, also if we didn’t even attempt to get him fans would be pissed. From Hurley’s point it would be a bad business decision to officially say no and not entertain UK until UCONN agrees to everything he wants.

Probably a crew rest requirement. They’ve logged a lot of miles this week.

He was never coming, if anything it got him a raise with UCONN, that's all

But, a smart agent would have taken the time to go back to UConn officials and have them counter offer. I don't see how this was done so quickly, but it seems like it was.

He needed a number to take back to UConn that's all it was. It's over! The man went on radio less than an hour ago and said no. I don't know what else you need.

 

[Ugoff]

If I were an AD, I'd want to talk to all of the top options just as a CYA measure. Secondly, If it's Billy there's some time to kill here.

 

[DDMatUK=NBA]

If that plane is still there and they are in fact meeting with Hurley or his agent, I'll wait for an official "NO" before I know what to think. $100 million is no joke by anyone's standards and Hurley or anyone else in the country should take it. He's a fool if he didn't take that offer..if it even happened at all.

 

[dcw62]

Mitch put all his eggs in the Scott Drew Basket and now unless Billy D says yes and who knows when or if that will come, we're on the 5th or 6th choice in the pecking order now

 

[BIG BLUE GURU]

Do we even know that is why the plane is in New York? Mitch could have met with Hurley via Teams Meeting or somewhere else
