The Lakers are prepared to offer their head coaching job to Dan Hurley, who has won consecutive NCAA titles at UConn.
The Lakers are planning to offer their head coaching position to UConn coach Dan Hurley, according to people with knowledge of the team's plans but not authorized to speak publicly. The sides are expected to have increased discussions in the upcoming days, with the Lakers highly motivated to try to lure Hurley from college basketball.
’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the news early Thursday morning, sending a shock wave through not just the league, but also through the Lakers’ own building. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been more shocked,” one high-ranking official said. For weeks, the external expectations have been that the Lakers would eventually target former NBA player and current broadcaster JJ Redick as the team’s next coach.
