With Kentucky job opening up, Dan Hurley laughs off question about leaving UConn after second straight title win

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The pie-in-the-sky idea that Kentucky could lure Dan Hurley away from UConn almost certainly isn’t going to happen.

Hurley made that clear during his postgame news conference Monday night after the Huskies became the first men’s college basketball program in 17 years to win back-to-back national championships.

Asked if he would “entertain conversations with anybody else that might have a job coming open” on Tuesday, Hurley laughed at that idea and said, “Yeah, I don’t think that’s a concern.” Hurley then appeared to allude to the fact that his wife Andrea did not want to leave their home in Connecticut to move even farther from her native New Jersey.
