Dan Hurley Reportedly Turns Down Kentucky

UConn Coach to Stay in Storrs

Hurley's Decision Cements Commitment to Huskies

Dan Hurley will reportedly not accept any offer to become the new head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. The UConn men's basketball coach has informed Kentucky of his decision, according to multiple reports.

Hurley's decision comes after he signed a new six-year, $32.1 million contract with UConn last season. The contract extension was a clear sign of the university's commitment to Hurley, who led the Huskies to their first national championship in 32 years last season.

The Los Angeles Lakers were reportedly targeting Hurley as their next head coach, but the 59-year-old coach has opted to stay in Storrs. Hurley's decision is a major win for UConn and its fans, who have been thrilled with the coach's success in recent years.
