My Mullins guy says not happening .Definitely going to play for Hurley at least for a year but contact was reestablished. 

Mullins aside, Hurley needs a good KO.

Hurley to the Denver?  Anyone else hearing this?  Seen it was on Trilly and now on X that talks are in place.

If he didn't take the Lakers job I doubt he would take the Nuggets job.  Also I don't see his style of coaching working on the NBA

Yea I can't see it either, but I hope it is true.

I mean..  I would greatly prefer coaching the Nuggets over LAL. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I will eat my hat if Hurley leaves UConn for the NBA unless it’s for the the Knicks, Celtics or 76ers. He’s never going out west.

I could see Jokic easier to deal with than Lebron. Lebron is pProbably the only player in the league that could say he wanted you fired and management do it.

Have no idea if this is true or not.  But last year, The Lakers core was a 40 year old LeBron James and often injured Anthony Davis.  They didn't have Luka and their future didn't look great.  At Denver, you would be coaching the best player in the NBA with Jokic.  

Denver is much more desirable at this point this year, than the Lakers were at the same time last year.

One of these days, one of these bets you make is going to backfire on you.

At least this one is pretty mild in comparison to the BS ones lol. Stakes were higher then. Comfortable upping the ante. Maybe I’ll go skydiving without a parachute if he ever goes to Denver lol. It’s not happening and definitely not now. Dan Hurley is a CBB coach / sicko. IMO he won’t seriously entertain leaving until he wins another title at UConn, and only then if it’s for the Knicks/Celtics/6ers/Nets. His best skills as a coach would probably not translate to the NBA and I think he knows that. Wife doesn’t want to be too far from family. Blah blah.

So, what are we thinking about Mullins changing things up IF/WHEN Hurley is out? Good chance or did he have others ahead of us before he chose UCONN?

Maybe in spring of 2026 after his freshman year at UConn.

My guess, too, unless Hurley leaves this offseason

This just screams pay raise /NIL increase from Hurley. No way he takes Denver. Yes Jokic is incredible but they are in cap hell with the huge contract to Jamal Murray (and to a lesser extent MPJ). Michael Malone is an @$$ but he wasn't the problem. Calvin Booth screwed them over.

Mullins named Mr. Basketball.

A painful memory of what might have been with just a little more effort from our now "retired" coach.

Rabby said that during an in-home visit which actually occurred at a restaurant, Woodson just sat at the end of the table eating ice cream and ignoring everyone.

Are we sure we hired the Mike Woodson that went to IU and not one that went to PU? It seems like he came in here to destroy the program from within. Was he Knight's Trojan horse?
