“I like Hurley,” Johnson said. “I want the coach to be Hurley.”
Johnson made the comment during an appearance on Thursday’s episode of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” which was recorded the same day news broke that the Lakers plan to offer their head coaching job to the man who led Connecticut to NCAA championships the past two seasons.
