If they're practicing, that explains a lot about the program. Hasn't changed since Calhoun was there and dodged an investigation by claiming heart issues or something. Lmao

True
Don’t know what I was thinking when I asked
Thank you sir
(That girl liked to have beat me to death...and I liked it...)UCONN has always been a "rules optional" kind of program. Of course they are having coaches begin organized practices early.
The NCAA needs to go ahead and give up limited practice schedules, etc. The kids are essentially pros who are working on their degrees on the side anyhow.
It has made me a almost mega millionaire living here in Calif. I am ready now to unload my property and move east and live out my life.
No, you don’t go after Hurley. You can go after the best but not Hurley. When you know the answer before you ask you stay away from it. It was stupid then and it’s worse when people don’t learn from it. He was never, ever, coming here. Why do you want to give them that kind of ammo?

"You can go after the best, but not Hurley"
But he's objectively the best coach in college basketball right now. That's literally a contradiction.
What people? Learn from it? He said no, and we went to the next on the list. Goodness You sound really irritated for absolutely no reason.
California is trying to tax people that leave now too, better get out while the getting is good.
I wouldn't read too much into it. UK is still a great job but it would have been a complete rebuild. He had UCONN on auto pilot as much as a college program can be. With that said, coaching college basketball right now is harder than it has ever been with NIL and the portal. He's always had the goal of going pro so it's not that big of a shock.
Its a no brainer, you take the Lakers job and if he wants a Boston/NY Knicks job just wait until its open. But with Lebron and Davis, this is a chance to show you're capable of being a good NBA coach and thats what Hurley desires. also if he comes back to UConn and doesnt win a title in the next 2 years then interest from NBA's biggest franchises wont be nearly as interested. This is the opportunity to get in the door at a place you can win at, he would be stupid to pass it up.
I fail to see how people being robbed and shot in another part of the country (you speak as if you don’t live there) has anything to do with you.
It sure would be nice if you took that holier than thou attitude and applied to yourself every now and then!
Hurley is meeting with the Laker’s Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss today. They want to get a deal done this weekend. Gonna make him a long term offer that pays him among the highest in the league. Probably like an 80 million dollar deal over five years or so.

Wonder how the wife will like all those taxes out there since she makes the decisions seems like 😂.
he made Mitch fly out to him for our offer, for this he's going to L.A. to talk with the Lakers. tells you that he's very serious about it.
I don’t know where “here” is for you but I don’t think there’s a 3 bedroom under $1200 in Lexington!
They're anywhere from $1,400 to 2,000.
A two bedroom apartment I had until early 2021 was $900 in rent but now rents for $1,800 in Lexington. It's insane. Feel for people out there.
A one bedroom I had out there in the mid 2000s was $1,500 a month. Crazy.
I know of at least 3 families that moved from Cali to my neighborhood in the last couple of years. None of them were work or family related they just wanted to get away from California. Someone should convince Biden to give Cali to Mexico free of charge.
Oh yeah I was way under. I feel very lucky I scored a house in 2013 right on the tail end of the crash. The house itself is lame, but I don’t know if it’d be possible at all to get one now.
I'm hearing about a lot more young adults rooming together around central Indy. Families can't afford a decent family sized home, and single folks can't afford an apartment on a single income. When it bad in the Midwest, you know it's bad all over. Nuts out there.
Shit,, I paid $1200 for 2 bedroom back in the mid 90s in Lexington..
It's pretty amazing what he's been able to do in such a short amount of time.
He goes from a "meh" coach in 2022, to a coach who has won back-to-back titles, to being offered the head job at Kentucky, and now being offered the Lakers job.
Incredible stuff.

I would be in some trouble if I had to get a house now. I got one before the rates went crazy. Now no one is moving.
My best friend got his house in 2010 by himself. He would probably not qualify now to get that same house which is crazy.
I’m right across from Louisville, the apartments that are brand new right next to my neighborhood run around 7-800 for a 3 bedroom. I do realize rates are going up for everything though, still it’s at least 2 to 3 time more to live in California, especially by the bigger cities.
A friend of mine is leaving Maryland for Tennessee and Maryland is trying to do the exit tax now too because of so many people leaving.
Common sense would probably tell you "Hey, maybe we should try to make things easier here and incentivize people to stay instead of robbing them to the point that they flee our policies."
Not sure what its called now but was Downing Place Townhouses there off Tates Creek.. Lots of the football team lived there then plus was easy walk to Commonwealth..
Exactly which shows they don’t care about the people just the tax revenue and I don’t see how they could legally pull that off but our courts are corrupt now too so who knows.
I don't think that's it.
Didn't he leverage the Kentucky situation to get more money? I just have a hard time thinking UCONN was like: We have more money, but this is all we're gonna give you for now--but they have more in the war chest in case the NBA comes snooping.
People had been saying he wanted to be in the NBA. The Lakers are 1 of 2 Premier NBA franchises.
Hurley values being on the East Coast. But not more than he values coaching in the NBA. I would argue not more than he values winning in college. If UCONN wasn't giving him the resources to win, he probably thinks more about the Kentucky job. But Kentucky wasn't elevating him beyond what he was already doing at UCONN. He could stay where he was, win, and make more than enough money to live comfortably forever.
But his big goal is to coach in the NBA. Maybe he'd rather it be the Celtics or the Knicks. But I'll be shocked if he isn't the Lakers coach.
