Why are the Los Angeles Lakers so enthralled with NCAA champion coach Dan Hurley?

The Athletic has pointed out the special things about Dan Hurley, the coach who has never stepped foot outside the NCAA but has the opportunity to lead the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.

Despite having no NBA experience, UConn Huskies coach Dan Hurley has made a certain impression in his coaching and coaching work.

It is not for nothing that he was able to create a team that won the NCAA championship two years in a row and had 52 victories in 57 games played. So what helped Dan Hurley catch the eye of the Los Angeles Lakers, an extremely ambitious team with the presence of NBA star LeBron James in the lineup?

🎗NBAâ€ĒFan🎗 on X: "Dan Hurley is the most important move in recent Laker  history (post 2010) after 1. Signing LeBron James (who started the chain of  events). 2. Trade for Anthony Davis (

Sam Vecenie, a veteran writer for The Athletic, calls Dan Hurley the best candidate in the NCAA coaching pool who can immediately step into the NBA.

Offensively, Hurley has applied an NBA-style approach to the NCAA for the UConn Huskies. He has his players run a series of drills that revolve around moving the ball around to find open 3-pointers.

Interspersed with long shots are close-range options for centers after they screen for teammates. In addition, Hurley also likes to have his players move without the ball to create space, creating a modern and beautiful offensive style.

From this style, in the last 6 March Madness matches, Coach Dan Hurley’s UConn has won all 6 games by an average margin of… more than 30 points per game.

Defensively, Dan Hurley works closely with his assistants to find out the strengths and weaknesses of his players. From there, the coaching staff will adjust the defensive strategy to better suit the team, helping the players defend more effectively.

As for scouting, the assistant team that Hurley has chosen is considered the best in the entire United States at the NCAA level. They try to find the opponent’s weaknesses and then exploit them to attack accurately and effectively.

Once UConn has a plan that can penetrate the opponent’s defense, they will not hesitate to run the same attack plan throughout the entire game until the opponent finds a way to counter it.

Vecenie added an important point that Dan Hurley has a strict coaching style in terms of discipline, but he is willing to create space for the players to be creative. This creates comfort in the competition for his students while maintaining unity and discipline at the best level.

Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are preparing a high-value and long-term contract for Dan Hurley, including the contract release fee of this captain with the University of Connecticut.

If Hurley accepts the offer of the Los Angeles Lakers, he will become one of the two rare coaches in the current 30 NBA teams who have both won the NCAA championship and worked in the NBA. The other person is Billy Donovan, the current captain of the Chicago Bulls and also a close brother to Hurley in daily life.
