It sounds like Kentucky will have to scratch UConn’s Dan Hurley off the list of potential coaches to replace John Calipari.
“I don’t think that’s on my mind,” Hurley told The Athletic. When asked more directly if there was any way he’d entertain the Kentucky job, Hurley responded: “No way.”
Hurley has led UConn to back-to-back national championships. There are reports that Kentucky is willing to pay him whatever he wants to come to Lexington.
Here is an excerpt:
“I don’t think that’s on my mind,” Hurley told The Athletic. When asked more directly if there was any way he’d entertain the Kentucky job, Hurley responded: “No way.”
Hurley added that one reason he’d never go is because he’s not going to drag his wife even farther from New Jersey.
“I can’t afford a divorce right now. I just started making money.”
UConn athletic director David Benedict told The Athletic after Monday night’s championship game that the program would do “everything we can to remain in position to win championships.”
