This offseason could have been very different for Dan Hurley. Had he stayed at Rhode Island, he’d have been spending many of his Saturdays relaxing in Newport, maybe some Sundays at Narragansett Beach, his principal task being keeping the Rams rolling at the level that had taken them to the second round in each of the last two NCAA tournaments. Instead Hurley signed up for a new challenge: reviving a UConn program that had slid into mediocrity since its 2014 national title. That’s meant a lot of changes, not least among them daily 80-minute commutes to his new office (at least until he moves to Connecticut next month) and a disruption of his usual early-morning routine.
