Dan Hurley is reportedly staying with UConn after rejecting the Los Angeles Lakers' offer to replace Darvin Ham as head coach.
Hurley, who has been with the Huskies since 2018, is fresh off his second consecutive NCAA championship and "couldn't walk away" from the opportunity to lead UConn to a third, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
After the rumors of Hurley's return, a handful of current Huskies expressed their excitement about having their coach back.
A former player, Rip Hamilton, also chimed in.
