Hurley Dismisses Knicks Rumors, Commits to UConn

After the New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, UConn's Dan Hurley, a two-time NCAA champion, was quickly linked to the job opening. Hurley, who previously rejected a lucrative offer from the Los Angeles Lakers, dismissed the Knicks rumors, saying, 'Not another summer of that.' He remains under contract with UConn through 2029 after signing a six-year, $50 million extension and is focused on maintaining his college basketball success. Both Hurley and UConn sources have expressed strong confidence in his continued commitment to the Huskies. Despite ongoing NBA interest, Hurley appears content to build his college dynasty. The Knicks are now expected to target candidates with NBA coaching experience.
