Stop spreading lies. Nate Oats is happily married. This is truly sad that Kentucky fans started this rumor because he doesn't want to coach at Kentucky.

Maybe MB doesn't want to get into a bidding war with Alabama.

The way the plane is still sitting in New York…. Your next Head Coach of the UK Wildcats is Rick Pitino….🤣
Shut up please. It wasn't started by UK fans.
I think it would be funny if he ran it up to where bama is strapped with a 10-11 million dollar coach because “we don’t want to get into a bidding war”.
Richie, time for the Tom Crean Avatar. You fought the good fight.
It really is interesting that the plane is still on the ground.
Traffic could be bad getting back to the plane or they stopped to eat and maybe see a friend. Who knows.
Then what the hell are we doing here? Honestly, if we're just looking to become Indiana, can some let me know so I can focus on my other teams.
It’s heading to Epstein Island?Yes and this man was seen getting onto it.
Does that friend got a last name of Donovan or Pitino? 🤣
Maybe they decided since they were in NYC, they’d go grab some dinner at Le Coucou or something.
Strapped? Alabama makes $60 million more than Kentucky annually. So in three years, Alabama pulls in $180 million more than Kentucky. Think about that for a second. That is before the new SEC contract starts next year for both schools. Kentucky is not a peer with Alabama when it comes to money. Alabama competes with Ohio State and Texas for revenue. Alabama can afford to pay whatever they want. The question is never about "can" for schools like Alabama and Texas etc., it's "will they" and we can't answer that.
Can you imagine if that plane landed in Lexington, the media was there and he stepped off?
Cue the Curb your enthusiasm theme
It is. It's 5:30 there now. Plane landed at 10:00 am or so. Assume worst case 2 hours in the car round trip, the pitch to Hurley's agents shouldn't have taken more than an hour. And if he definitely said no (we've yet to hear anyone except some source go apey via CBS that even $20m wouldn't be enough), the only reasons they'd still be there is dinner in NYC or Pitino meet up.
Of course the Hurley "no" news could be completely off - maybe he drove down from Glastonbury, CT to see it for himself? I know, very unlikely as Norlander is usually spot on.
Media won't really have any reason to be there given most of us assume that NO through whoever that was talking to Norlander is accurate and directly from Hurley's mouth.
Ok, just figured out a more rationale reason that plane is still in NYC.
There is a serious band of storms from north central PA all the way down to Knoxville. The entire path from NYC to LEX is bad, and there doesn't seem to be much of a route around it.
I'd wager they are staying put overnight due to that weather and will head back in the morning.

Enough time has passed since the “source” leaked to CBS that you’d think you’d have an official press release by now. The longer it goes without an official press release, the more you start to wonder if it’s to keep the natives at bay until the celebration and parade is over.
It’s highly unlikely still but it’s been 2 hours since CBS said it was over…. Why the wait on UConn/Hurley’s side of an official statement
Not at all, if he is literally dumb enough to turn down $100 million! Sorry but that transcends lots of excuses/reasons and frankly, should never have been offered. Who knows, maybe it never was. In which case, I rescind my comment about his intelligence. Otherwise, only a fool walks away from that. That IS my official stance and it ain't changing, regardless of his official answer.
MB and entourage are having a nice dinner at Masa, Apparently, they have some extra cash on hand.
They have legal minimums to take off and land at KLGA and KLEX. Sure, maybe the crafts aren’t comfortable but it’s honestly pretty standard IFR from a ceilings standpoint.
There is a convective sigmet between them and Lex but if they went north towards Buffalo and down to Lex they could get around it if they wanted. But they may just use it as an excuse to hang out in NYC while Mitch works on the next move from there instead of back to KY.
Or switched planes because of us creeps tracking it.
Does 50 million get him in two years? Hmmm! If he turned that much down, the NBA has to question his intelligence and viability at all levels.
These things still usually come with official press releases. Not just statements on random tv spots etc. enough examples of ppl saying no publicly when a mic is shoved in their face to then turn around and take a job.
Once it got out that UK was meeting and coming w a big offer…. That would typically be met with an actual official statement from Hurley/his agent/or UConn
Not sure but if so and after negotiating...I don't even want him any more. My dog is smarter and can herd cattle as well as ball players. He goes where I tell him, does what I say, most of the time and never back talks. He's glad to be here too! And he was free to me! He does still have trouble signing stupid contracts though. Good boy!
That did cross my mind. Went home commercial and the pilots will just bring Hurley down to LEX tomorrow (kidding....but hoping there's still a chance...).
Maybe he wants people to come to the celebration Saturday then after that he bolts lol I know wishful thinking…
