nbaAt Long Last, Woj Discloses the True Cause Rejected by the Lakers: Dan Hurley

When Dan Hurley turned down a six-year, $70 million deal to be the Lakers’ head coach, it made quite a splash.

Hurley turned down a deal for twice as much as his current salary to remain at UConn.

Now that the immediate news has subsided, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has broken down the specific reasons why Hurley rejected the Lakers’ offer.Woj told SportsCenter’s Scott Van Pelt everything late Monday night.

In his remarks, Wojnarowski mentioned “a few factors, Scott,” the most notable of them being the opportunity to achieve a feat not seen since John Wooden’s Bruins—winning three consecutive national championships. “As a head coach, you may never have another opportunity like that.”

“However, I believe that the timing of attending the NBA… I believe he had dreams of playing in the NBA, but he just wasn’t prepared to do it at this time.

Another possible aspect that Van Pelt brought up was the NBA’s extremely high standards.

Fоr Hurley, “it’s аll аbоut grinԀing оut every pоssessiоn,” аccоrԀing tо Vаn Pelt. The sheer mаgnituԀe оf the NBа’s expectаtiоns оf yоu is sоmething I’ve аlwаys puzzleԀ аbоut. Wаs the equipment with him? Whаt I meаn is thаt оne TuesԀаy night in Memphis, yоu Ԁоn’t hаve tо grinԀ оut every hаlf-cоurt pоssessiоn. Is whаt I’m sаying unԀerstооԀ? Is it pоssible thаt he enԀeԀ up with sоme оf thаt?

That was Wojnarowski’s firm opinion.

“Scott, you’re totally correct,” he confirmed. And I believe that brings us to the point of readiness at the age of 51. Plus, there are the practices on top of that fateful Tuesday night in Sacramento or Memphis. It is the officials’ job. It’s collaborating with upper management, which isn’t required of college coaches. Dude, you’re the general manager.

The Lakers’ coaching search is ongoing, so for the time being, they’re going back to square one.

It has been stated that James Borrego and JJ Redick are both still being considered for the position.
