Dan Hurley said Thursday his decision to reject a six-year, $70 million offer to coach the Los Angeles Lakers was not a "leverage play" because he'd already agreed to the terms of a new contract with UConn.
On The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, Hurley called the choice between coaching the Lakers for an eight-figure sum or returning to chase a third consecutive national title at UConn a difficult decision. But the leverage was unnecessary, he said, because he and UConn had already negotiated a new contract in recent weeks.
