UConn Coach Dan Hurley On Kentucky: 'Don't Think That's A Concern,' Defers To Wife

As of late Monday night and into Tuesday morning, Dan Hurley was still the men's basketball coach at the University of Connecticut.

Kentucky, though, is expected to officially lose John Calipari as its head coach today to Arkansas, according to multiple reports. And Hurley, 51, is the hottest coach in men's college basketball with back-to-back, overly dominant national championships in a style like UCLA of the 1960s and '70s.

UConn trampled fellow No. 1 seed Purdue Monday night, 75-60, for its record 12th straight double-digit win in the NCAA Tournament. And that was after Hurley lost two key starters from last season's national title - 6-foot-9 forward Adama Sanoga (17.2 points, 7.7 rebounds) and guard Jordan Hawkins (16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds), who was the 14th pick of the first round by New Orleans.

"UConn is a special place this time of year, and they give us all the resources we need to do it like this in March and April," Hurley, 51, said after completing his sixth year at UConn. "For the last 30 years, UConn has been running college basketball. We run college basketball."

It was the UConn men's sixth national championship since 1999. The UConn women have won 11 national titles since 1995 under coach Geno Auriemma. Kentucky used to run men's basketball long ago and has won eight national titles, but only four since 1959.

Would Hurley, a Jersey City, New Jersey, native, who married Jersey girl Andrea Sirakides of Toms River after meeting her at Seton Hall in South Orange, N.J., want to embark on a new challenge in Lexington for likely a lot more money?

Will Dan Hurley Stay, Or Will He Go?

Or would Hurley, who makes $5 million a year at UConn, want to try to win a third straight national title, which has not been done since John Wooden won seven in a row at UCLA from 1967-73? 

"You said on the court something about UConn giving you all the resources you need," a reporter said at the postgame press conference. "Can we interpret that to mean you intend to be back at UConn next year?" 

Kentucky was not mentioned by name, but it is the only major opening out there in men's college basketball.

"Yeah, yeah, I don't think that's a concern," Hurley said laughing. "My wife, you should have her answer that. She'll answer that question better than I can. Yeah, (expletive deleted)."

Hurley also laughed about retiring.

"Me and Luke Murray (UConn assistant coach and son of actor Bill Murray) had some talk about if we won this one, maybe we'll both retire on Tuesday," Hurley said to Tracy Wolfson on the TNT and TBS television post game broadcast. "So this could be it for me and Luke."

Wolfson said, "Oh, c'mon, that can't be true."

"No, that's not," Hurley said.
