Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, we didn't see that when coming Welcome to the
program hour one on this Thursday, Dan and the Dance
Dan Patrick Show. The Lakers do have a coach in waiting,
it's just probably not the coach we thought who would
be in waiting. If you're just waking up WOJ with
a WOJ bomb that Danny Hurley is being targeted as
(00:25):
the next head coach of the LA Lakers here, we
thought it was JJ Reddick. We're waiting until the NBA
Finals is over and then he would assume that position.
Not so fast. So once again I guess being targeted
according to WOJ. Usually when WOJ says that, it feels
like the contract talks are a little bit further down
the road, and I'm guessing if Danny Hurley is looking
(00:47):
at what would be compensatory for me what I did
at Yukon now going to the Lakers. Lakers have been
historically cheap with some of their coaches here, and they
lost out on Tyloo because they didn't want to pony
up what the Clippers were willing to pay. He might
look around and go, I want what Tyloo's getting, or
I want what Eric Spolster is getting. Is it going
(01:09):
to be you know, twelve million dollars fifteen million dollars
a year. That's something that Connecticut would not be able
to match because they're a stage school, not a private school.
But this, this was a well kept secret in a
town that doesn't keep secrets very well. Didn't even hear
a hey, you know what's crazy. Here's a wild rumor.
You know what I heard from somebody who talked to
(01:31):
somebody who talked to somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, we didn't have any of that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But Danny Hurley and the LA Lakers are engaged in talks,
or at least that's what I want to be fair
with the wording on this. WOJ just said targeting Danny Hurley. Now,
I want to take you back to April seventeenth, and
Danny Hurley was on the show and I talked to
him about the possibility of leaving yukon what would make
(01:58):
you leave Connecticut?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Maybe just burnout at this point for me, just uh,
you know, pushing too hard and probably you know, just
breaking down at some point, just uh, because you just
can't keep up the intensity and and the energy and
and you know, the output. Uh. And then maybe down
the road, if I could grow up a little bit mature,
(02:25):
you know, matrorel a little bit with the emotions, maybe
the NBA, you know, down down the road. Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So why do you want to do that? Why do
you want to do that to yourself? Go to the NBA?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Well, you know, I think college has become like the
G League. Uh, you know, yeah in a way. I
mean it's uh, you know, not that's obviously tongue in cheek,
but you know, a lot of the college game has changed.
You know, you you you, you win the national championship,
and obviously we're gonna do things, go to White, do
(02:59):
these we have the parade to do these things. But
you're basically right into free agency frenzy. So you know,
it's I'm more worried about burnout that I am going
to the NBA.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So there's a lot of elements here in play. And
you hear all the time Lebron not involved in the
coaching search. He I know, has given a stamp of
approval to what Danny Hurley has done at Connecticut. I
think he's already responded to the possibility of Danny Hurley
going to the Lakers, Danny Hurley and his staff Bill
Murray's son Luke, they have really kind of reprogrammed college
(03:38):
basketball with their approach on recruiting to style offensively, and
maybe this is something the Lakers looked at and said,
this isn't a two year play, this is a seven
year play. This is about the Lakers, not Lebron and
not Anthony Davis. This is about us as we move
forward as a franchise. Now we have a coach who
(04:00):
who we believe in in developing players, and Hurley is
very good at doing that and he sees what others
don't see. Now his style is always what's going to
be the curious part for me, because he talked about burnout.
Now you have eighty two games, and you're going to
have eighty two games under a microscope like you've never
(04:20):
had before. Every you know, moment with Lebron or AD
is going to be amplified. You're not in stores Connecticut anymore.
If this does happen now you're with the Lakers, everything
is going to be magnified. Your style. We hear from
Brian Winhorst all the time. Wendy says Lebron loves to
be coached. Okay, you're going to be coached, and here
(04:42):
you are at the end of your career and you
got Anthony Davis. They did not play Kate Lebron because
that probably would have been JJ Reddick JJ Reddick calling
the finals, and we thought, you know, this was just
you know, mere formality. He's going to do the NBA
Finals once he's done with his requirements with ESPN ABC,
that he takes the Laker job. You didn't hear anything
(05:06):
about any possibility with Danny Hurley, and that is surprising,
but I think it's awesome. I think if Danny Hurley
wants that challenge and he's you know, he's lived and coached,
grew up on the East Coast, and I think he'd
always said, you know, remember we talked to him about
the Kentucky job, and it's like, no, my wife, no,
(05:28):
we would. She didn't want to leave, you know, the
Tri state area, and that's something you know, I'm sure
this is part of the negotiation of convincing her to
go out to Los Angeles to take that job. But
you know, given the state of college basketball, nil transfer portal,
I mean, it used to be ad control. Now you
(05:48):
don't have any control. I mean, he can try, but
let's say it doesn't work out, if he goes to
the Lakers, and maybe after four years, he can always
go back to college basketball.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So I get it. I understand it. It's the next
challenge for him.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I mean, if you're at Yukon, you're sad if this happens,
but you also have to say, hey, thank you. I mean,
gave you back to back national titles. So there's something
to be said for everybody involved in this. With the Lakers,
with what they're doing, why they're doing it, Lebron, how
does this work with him? Ad how does this work
(06:23):
with him? And then Danny Hurley that style of what
you were doing at Connecticut. You know, he's like Mike
McDaniel with the Dolphins, like he's an innovator. He's trying
to come up with different concepts. This might be what
he runs, might be similar to the triangle offense as
far as this could be something that other teams try
to adopt, or you're trying to understand it. So many
(06:46):
different options, and the offense has been great. You know,
they dominated college basketball, outscoring their opponents by what close
to two hundred points. It felt like and then you
went back to back titles. So that's the big news today.
D Once again, Woje's reporting that the Lakers are targeting
Dan Hurley. And you know, if I'm looking at what
(07:08):
is going to be security guaranteed contract, you know, six seven,
eight years, you know it would take that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You want me to run your organization?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
All right, then you got to pay me, and they're
going to have to pay Danny Hurling stat of the
Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
cards of the Dan Patrick Show. As the weather gets warmer,
it's time to think about the three f's. That's family, friends,
and food. And nothing brings those three together quite like
King Sawaian. So make every Sunday a slider Sunday, kings Hawaiian.
(07:40):
Oh yes, do you put?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
How much value do you put in the chance to
repeat pretty rare in college basketball? That's a once in
a generation, once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm trying to
think of reasons that Dan Hurley would stay at Yukon
because jumping to the Lakers for a crazy amount of money,
(08:04):
which we assume it would be, is almost like and
the stamp of approval from Lebron, you know, is like
just an insurmount. Why wouldn't you do that? Anybody would
do that?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I think the challenge, like everything about Danny Hurley
is a chip on his shoulder when he was playing
to when he was coaching, he still has a chip
on his shoulder, and he's probably going to say, all right,
you know, I'm the third most famous Hurley, my dad Bobby,
I'm going to be the most famous. And I think
that probably, you know, kind of feeds into who he
(08:36):
is and his personality.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Now you go to the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
As far as staying, you know, you stay, You've created something.
Now you are the face of college basketball. But I
don't know what motivates him, what makes him tick.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yes, well that is the thing too that I think
about is that he was sort of born and raised
in basketball as a lot of people have, and their
family is much more famous for college bass basketball then
for professional basketball. Right, it certainly won't be his last
job offer, although I don't know how many times the
Lakers come calling, But just knowing that, or at least
(09:15):
thinking of him as a little bit of a college
basketball historian, the chance to three peat is pretty great.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, I don't know what motivates him. Like for us,
you'd go, boy, that'd be awesome to three pete. You
know what would be more awesome to win a title
with the Lakers. One peating with the Lakers. Yes, just
one title, one pete. Yeah, nobody ever won peats.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
A singular pete with Lebron and the Lakers on his
way out.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I'll do that all day. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Say good morning if you're watching on Peacock or streaming
partner one peat. Yeah, download the app if you haven't
done so. Radio affiliates around the country. We have our poll, question,
play of the day, stat of the day, all of
that coming forthcoming. And by the way, the NBA Finals
starting tonight. I wondered what the commissioner thinks of this
this morning where he's like, all right, yeah, all this
attention game won everybody excited?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Wait, what's woad? You're reporting the lake? What at least
it's basketball.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You imagine if it was an Aaron Rodgers story and
then all of a sudden everybody would be you know,
that would be suffocating you. But get ready for a
healthy dose here because it's the Lakers and it's Lebron.
It's not like he's going to the Bobcats. He's going
to the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
If that's the case, Wow, and he's going Yeah, that
is accurate though. Yes, it's the Lakers. It's not the Bobcats.
It's Lebron and the Lakers. Ad Well, Lebron.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, he is, I know's see if he wants to
be coached too, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
It's kind of sad. I was just thinking, if Danny
Hurley leaves college basketball a true character and basically the
face of college basketball. Nick Saban leaves college football a
couple months ago, Jim Harbaugh leaves college football a couple
months ago, and they're all going pro. I went and
look back. This is kind of comparable to Nick Saban
when he was in the middle of his run at Bama.
Every year there was a rumor about him being looked
(11:06):
at for the Cowboys job and it was never real.
You never found any reports, but there's always rumors. This
was the opposite. There was never rumors, just real.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, it's my job to think this way. Could this
be leverage for Danny Hurley with a new contract at Connecticut?
Could I just want to I got to look at
all angles here? Could it have started that way because
he's been looking for a contract extension all of a sudden.
You know what, I said, I wouldn't take another college job,
(11:37):
but I didn't say I wouldn't go to the NBA.
Right now, I don't know if it's a leverage play.
WOJ and Wendy keep saying, Hey, this isn't a done
deal yet they're targeting him. Okay, I do have to
look at sort of what's been going on and is
there a leverage play. We taped an interview with Gino
Oriema about forty five minutes ago. I'm going to play
(12:01):
it next hour, and I'm going to tell you it's
appointment listening.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It is wild.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
We touch on a variety of things, including a conversation
he had with Danny Hurley last night about taking the
Laker job. What are the odds that he spoke with
Danny Hurley last night not even knowing that Danny Hurley
had been talking or is talking or going to be
talking to the Lakers. He works down the hall from him. So, Gino,
(12:34):
the interview that we did last forty five minutes ago,
it'll be next hour at this time, and it is
Must Listen Radio.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
We do talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Caitlyn Clark, the treatment of Kitlyn Clark as well, and
he's got some things to say about college basketball and
certainly on the men's side of where we are right now.
But Gino Oriema, who just signed the contract extension with
the Yukon women five year OD, he'll join us coming up.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Yes, Marvin, do you think the Lakers need Hurley Moore
or the hur or Hurley needs the Lakers more the.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Lakers need Hurley. There's no great coaching candidates out there.
I mean, there's no marquee name where you go Jerry
West or pat Riley or Phil Jackson. Danny Hurley, he's
on the short list of most famous coaches in America.
And what he's done wherever he's gone, he wins. I
(13:28):
mean there's a horrorball feel to him of hey, I'm here,
I'm there, I'm there, and everybody's a winner. And Harball
coaches this raw, raw college type way, and Danny Hurley
coaches that way as well. But it's it's pretty shocking though.
But I would say the Lakers, if the Lakers get
get somebody, you know, you want stability. It's not you know,
(13:51):
who's the coach now, Well, he won't be coaching too
much longer.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's what I wondered about JJ Reddick. Would he be
a two year coach?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Because is Lebron going to play for two years and
then all of a sudden you change because you're going
to be in a rebuild Danny Hurley, and you know,
the Lakers aren't going, well, this would be good for us.
Five years down the road. They still think that they
can win, and rightfully so. And you have Lebron and
Ad and you should think you could win. But I
(14:20):
think this is a bigger picture, bigger play for the
Lakers to say, we got a coach who's going to
have tenure, he's going to be respected, he's a bright mind,
and he's going to be the future, the current and
the future of our organization. But as far as Danny Hurley,
I mean, unless it's money, he could have stayed at
(14:42):
Connecticut try for a three peak and you know, maybe
this is just you put it all in the blender
and you go, golle it's too good to pass up.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Yes, Marv stores Laguna Beach, same thing on a stage, Yeah,
it's all the same.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yes, don I know he just won back to back titles.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
And we're not saying that Danny Hurley would be instantly
successful if he took the job. But is he going
to hear the same kind of things that JJ Reddick's
doing with Hey, he's never coached one game in the NBA.
Is Knowing going to state anything about Danny Hurley and
what he can do or not doing the pros?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No? No, he proved it in college.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You guys have proved that he's in college and then
there was a disaster in the pros well.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But I think because of that, because of what he's
did at Yukon, JJ Reddick hadn't coached at all. Danny
Hurley has coached young players and he's won back to
back titles. That's a pretty good resume to go into
the NBA. Now, we've had coaches. Jerry Tarkanian didn't last
long when he went in to coach the Spurs. It
(15:44):
was on this day, this is the anniversary of coach
k considering going in to coach the Lakers. There you
have Billy Donovan when Billy Donovan left Florida, Steve Spurrier
when he left Florida go to Washington, Nick Saban went
there's it's littered with that. But I think this is
a great hire by the Lakers. I love it now.
(16:07):
If it happens, I think it's a great, great hire.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I do.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And I think that's once again woje is saying this,
so is Windy. They're just they're targeting him now. It
feels like if WOJ is saying this, they're further down
the road. This is like woj is saying, hey, they're
targeting him, and then six six hours from now, it's like, yeah,
done deal, Yes, Seaton, you.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Know it's weird.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I bet that the one thing that might actually be
standing in the way of Dan Hurley taking this job
is lifestyle.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yes, yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I don't think he has any interest in moving a
portion of his family to Los Angeles. I think he
wants to stay right on the East Coast where he's
near his parents and he's near his family and all
the Jersey stuff that they got going on, that's all real,
that's all very real. He wants to be right here.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's one of the biggest surprising parts of this, not
that he would be taking the job interested that he
would leave the East Coast all right, we'll take a
break once again gino Oriama conversation we recorded a little
less than an hour ago. Reggie Miller will join us
as well as we preview Game one of the NBA
Finals just getting started. Who a lot to talk about
(17:13):
back after this Dan Patrick show.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast Ask or wherever you

Speaker 2 (18:05):
We will come up with a pole question today. Reggie
Miller a little bit later on gino Oriemo just signed
a five year extension to continue to coach the Yukon women,
get his thoughts on Danny Hurley, and they are strong opinions,
and the fact that they were together last night and
Gino tells the story about joking about Danny going to
(18:26):
the Lakers, and here we are this morning. So we
tape the interview an hour ago and it is well
worth appointment listing and viewing there.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, seeing what's pole question?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
And by the way, remember every player on the yukad
team will have a thirty day window to transfer. If
Hurley joins the Lakers the transfer portal with a coach
leaving now, they would have thirty days to be able
to decide what they wanted to do. The timing is
unfortunate and odd. And then you got to get an
(19:00):
head coach in there. Do you promote from within? Does
Bill Murray's son Luke, who is an offensive minded whiz
with the Yukon Huskies, does he go with Danny Hurley,
which I would assume he would, or would he get
the opportunity to coach the men's team. So there's a
little bit of uneasiness. I'm going to guess on that
Storre's Connecticut campus so if every if he goes, then
(19:23):
every player has the opportunity for a thirty day transfer
portal window.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Seaton. What's poll question for our one?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Well, do you want the snarky one from Paul first
or another one? Let's let's go snark Okay, yeah, okay.
Who is having the worst day?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Jj Reddick?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
It's unfortunate yeah for him? Okay, uh sham sharania. Ooh,
because Woj dropped the WOJ bomb. Wojbomb, early morning, wolomb
early morning. Okay, yukon basketball fans, Oh wow, that's not
a great morning for that.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
No, it's not.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Those are your th options on those three others?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Neither now there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
So there's reporting going on now, but it's early on
the West coast and trying to get somebody on record
with the Lakers or even off the record, giving you
a little bit more of painting the picture of what's happening.
The Lakers are planning to offer their head coaching position
to Danny Hurley. That's according to people with knowledge of
the team's plans not authorized to speak publicly. The sides
(20:30):
are expected to have increased discussions in the upcoming days,
with the Lakers highly motivated to try and lure Danny
Hurley from college basketball. That's Dan Witki, the La Times
Lakers beat writer. So everybody is up early and on
their toes with this story that broke what about three
(20:54):
hours ago, two and a half hours ago. Yeah, Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Fritzy texted in our group text and I was just,
you know, getting going in the morning. I had not
checked any of the websites and it said pursuing woj
slash Hurley and I was like, what is this wog
is an NBA guy and which Hurley is he talking about?
It was that far from my mind that Danny Hurley
could be a candidate for a pro job.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I was listening to ESPN Radio their morning show. They
did a great job and you know, breaking news and
then having Wojan and Wendy on and giving perspective there,
and I'm like, wow, Danny Hurley to the Lakers. Didn't
see that one coming. And then I immediately went, Okay,
now we got gino Oriama on, we can bring back Hurley.
(21:39):
The interview we did I asked him about and he
really I was surprised he entertained that question when I said,
why would you leave Connecticut and then he said, you know,
maybe burnout or the possibility of coaching in the NBA.
And I don't think it's burnout. I think it's just
the opportunity to coach the Lakers and Lebron.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
More, It's funny because as Yukon fan after maybe like around.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
May, is that why you're wearing all black today?
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Look, I didn't want to say it, but when where
Frizzy texted the group and then all the news came out,
I was like, man, I'm over here ready for a
three p Like, look, look at the team. Hey, the
incoming freshman, the transfers, they're on campus now. I'm like,
all right, let's go. I'm like, no, because in around
April and he doesn't take any more jobs, I go, oh,
he's gonna stay at Yukon. Yeah, like not June.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, when he had the opportunity to coach Kentucky and
said no, no, I don't want another head coaching job
in college basketball. I mean this probably said I can't
turn this down. I get to coach the Lakers, I
get to coach Lebron. I get a chance to mold
a franchise, remold a franchise, yes, PAULI.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I've been trying to think about this story and how
it came about, because it seems like it's recent. It
doesn't seem like they've been talks with Danny Hurly for
a while. I don't think that would have held. I
have a theory, and I wonder what you think of it.
Do you think that they had targeted JJ Reddick and
we're going in that direction? And then when Reddick says
I can't commit toil the finals are over, they have time,
(23:09):
there's time to think about it, ponder it. And someone
in the franchise says, we're really going to hand our
franchise over to a guy who's never coached basketball before,
which was a fair question, and they said, should we
kick the tires on all options? While we had the
time before the NBA Finals over, and all of a sudden,
Danny Hurley's name pops up, you know, like they had
a window to rethink their higher before they made their
(23:32):
higher of JJ Reddick.
Speaker 10 (23:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
There are a lot of people insiders who had JJ
Reddick taking this job of mere formality, and if I
wanted JJ Reddick, I would have said to him, let's
sign a contract. We'll wait until after the NBA Finals
and then you're going to be our head coach. I
know you wanted, you have a job to do at
ESPN and ABC. That's what I think would happen. But man,
if you're JJ Reddick, how do you think you've found
(23:56):
out today? And he's got to do the NBA Final tonight,
I'm assuming he's going to be doing the game. But
if I'm ESPN, and look, I don't want to program
ESPN again, but I would be saying to JJ Reddick, JJ,
we'd like to talk to you on Sports Center or
Get Up or First Take or any of those shows
(24:19):
that we want to hear what you know, because he
said I'll talk about this when the NBA Finals are over,
and we're not gonna let him wait until then, because
even Mike Breen doing the game with him, you got
to ask him.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, seton.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
There's this piece of video that people keep pointing to
today where it's from JJ Reddick's podcast and he's talking
to Dan Hurley after the National Championship game, and people
are talking about it because Lebron then commented under the
video of like, Hey, this guy is great this you know,
talking about how the offense that Dan Hurley is describing
(24:58):
is so innovative and like, man, this sounds like fun.
We need more of this, right, But the real problem
with the video is it's awesome for Dan Hurley because
he looks like a genius and he gets the Lebron
stamp of approval, But unfortunately for JJ Reddick, he the
question is like, man, how did you come up with
this play?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
This play is crazy?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
And Dan Hurley goes through like a beautiful mind type
version of like, so this is what this is? Right?
He brings in the forty nine ers, he brings in
a Turkish basketball team. He's like, you got two slugs
high point they split to the trips, Like, oh my god,
what the hell even is this?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
This is crazy?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
And then if you're looking at that video and you're like, so, Lakers,
who do we want as the head coach? Uh, well,
one of them kind of jumps off the screen a
little bit as the guy. That's a tough piece of video.
If you're both up for the same job.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, you do you want the guy who's asking the
question or the guy who has all the answers, how
did you do this?
Speaker 5 (25:50):
This is crazy? Like, oh, let me tell you. Yeah, uh, well,
I think I know who we want to coach. And
then Lebron, will you know, give co sign on that
as well? Yeah, Marvin, Yeah. So Lebron responds to that video.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
He says he's so damn good along with his staff,
super creative with this offense.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Love it.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
So that means Hurley and your staff, all you guys
come along, Luke Murray, come on a young you guys
all can come along?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yes, damn And if you're JJ Reddick, like, when did
you find out? Now?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Once again not finalized, but when did you find out
that they could be interested in Danny Hurley? Did he
find out this morning when we did that?
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Next Reddick Lebron podcast is going to be fantastic?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh, in one direction or another? So, JJ, how are you?
I don't know Lebron? What's new? How am I? Yeah?
Seon what if the.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
JJ Reddick rumors about him getting the Lakers job stemmed
from somebody being like, hey, so who do you think
should be the head coach? You've seen the JJ Reddick
podcast and then it's like, yeah, JJ Rett No, the
interview with Dan Hurley on the JJ Reddick podcast, that's
the guy that we but the interview that Reddick did
with Hurley that's on is that's on Old Man in
the three, not the one that he does with Lebron.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It'd be great if Hurley takes the job, and then
Lebron and Hurley are on JJ Reddick's podcast, all three
of them. I'm programming here, mad Scientist here, Paul and
Iowa leads this off. Good morning, Paul. What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 10 (27:26):
Hey Dan? Well, if Hurley takes this job, he'd probably
be the first NBA head coach to receive the suspension
for his sixteenth tech of the season. But I have
two reasons that I don't think he'll take this job. Okay, One,
you look at this path and everybody from John Bline,
Lon Krueger, Patino, Calipari, Tim Floyd, and Hoiberg shout out
(27:49):
Iowa state this is a hard road and there's not
a lot of success there. And the second reason I
don't think he's gonna do this is it reminds me
a lot of when we freaked out for two days
because missus Nick Saban was looking at houses in Austin.
Oh my gosh, what's going to happen?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, here's another thing though, these coaches who took jobs
who were college coaches, legendary coaches. How good were the
teams that they were going to. You got to factor
that in as well. I mean, this is a Laker team,
playoff team. You got Lebron, you got ad, you got
some assets, you got some draft picks here. This might
(28:28):
be different than those other coaches. And how are you wired?
The only thing I would worry about with Hurley is
you can't take every loss the way you do when
you're at Yukon.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
You have to move on.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's almost like you're a closer in baseball and you
give up a home run one night. You got to
forget about it when you go and you play the
next night, and then you come in you have to
be able to put it behind you.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
That is difficult for these players.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It's difficult for players when they go in and they
have great success in college and allmost sudden you're going,
we won like eleven games. I never lost eleven games
in my career. You know those kind of things. And
the coach is this same way, like you're winning and
you're dominating, And does everybody want to be coached? And
(29:16):
do you want to be coached by Danny Hurling because
there's a difference there. Hey, I'm going to listen to
this guy, okay, and then you want to see, okay,
does he know what he's talking about? Do we have
results here? But you got to do that for eighty
two games? Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Have you ever talked to coaches that go from college
to the NBA and they're like, man, forty four games
and I'm only halfway through the season. Have you ever
ran into people that complained about the length of the season.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I don't remember doing that.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I just know there were so many other things that
coaches had to understand. And I think going from college
football to pro football is a bigger jump than going
college basketball to the NBA because your college teams, some
of your college teams are older than some of the
NBA teams. Like, you're getting these kids, they might be
in there for one year, transfer portal, You're dealing with
(30:11):
all the ancillary things. Maybe when you get to the Lakers,
you're not dealing with as many things. You're coaching. You're
coming up with philosophies here. You have ideas, you have answers.
That's what attracts a player to a coach, it's like,
I trust you. It's like with Belichick. They probably didn't
like him, but man, they respected him. I go back
(30:32):
to Lombardy. They didn't like him, but they respected him
because they knew what the bottom line is going to be.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That's what you want in a coach. He can win.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Follow me, trust me, Joe and Orlando, Hi Joe, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 10 (30:48):
Morning? So is Dan?
Speaker 11 (30:49):
I have a question for you. If your genie or
Robs and you say Dan is the highers early is
the higher and you know he loves the grind the whole,
get us why you can mentality? Do you signal to
the league? Hey, it's rebuilding time. Lebron already said he
wants to be a free agent. You trade a d
that acquired the noise as far as him, have an
(31:11):
immediate success, and Dan Hurley gets a fair chance to
actually build the team in his image.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
What would you do if you were Rob or Well?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I don't think Dan Hurley takes the job if it's
going to be a rebuild. I think Dan Hurley wants
to be successful. I mean, you just went back to back,
Now you're going to go to a rebuild. I mean
if that's the case, then go to the Bobcats or
whoever you're going to the Lakers. Lakers they want to win.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
The problem I had later in the Kobe years is
they held on to Kobe, paid him a lot of money,
but the team wasn't very good. But they were giving
you somebody to come out and watch, and Kobe delivered
with that. But it wasn't a great move for the
franchise with this with Lebron and a d Lebron still
plays at a high level. Ad can play at a
high level, and he's coming off a really good year.
(32:00):
You just have to get the other players on that
roster healthy and then you're gonna have to make a
move or two. But basketball now is two stars, not
three two and then you have a balanced roster here.
And that's what I would be wanting to do if
I'm Dan Hurley. But Hurley, make no mistake about it,
He's not going in for a rebuild. He's going in
for a reload. Play the day up next.

Yankees had won seven in a row eighteen of their

Yes Network Play of the Day. Play of the Day
brought to you by Kingswaiian, the three Epps family friends,
and more importantly food nothing brings those three together like
King Sawaiian to make every Sunday a slider Sunday with Kingswaian,
(33:23):
I was watching baseball last night. I did watch a
little bit of the College World Series Women's softball Texas
and Oklahoma. Then I was watching the Pirates against the Dodgers.
Paul Schemes he was he was throwing cheese last night.
He struck out eight over five innings, the number one
draft pick out of LSU. And when shohe Otani got
(33:45):
to the plate his first at bat against Paul Schemes,
it sounded like this.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
So strikes out Otani. The crowd hushes got the pitch
from Schemes.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
Swinging this.
Speaker 9 (33:57):
Woe blood right time.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Two s strikeouts for Paul Steins. I gets two.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Mvts so Hundi, Hundi, hundi. And then the next time
Show Hey Otani came to the plate. It was another
one hundred mile an hour pitch.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Pitch this ball swung on hammer to centerfield empty, so
Winsky back to the track piece of the wall.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
It's got a home run.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Show Hey Turny hits it out and the Dodgers on
the board at seven to two for show Hey, home
run number fifteen.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
He is the first to homer Office Schiens fastball, and
he had quite a few pitches that were in triple
digits last night. But you know that's the thing. You
can look silly on three one hundred mile an hour
fastballs and then all of a sudden, the fourth one
you get gone. That's courtesy of Dodgers Radio Network AM
(34:50):
five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Now that's one of those next time around that you're
gonna be like, what time do they play? But Skeens,
he's the real deal man. He's just gonna throw as
hard as he can for as long as he can.
It just feels like that's the philosophy here. Got into
trouble bases, loaded, got out of it, and then you
know he went five innings, struck out A yes, Mark.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Did that back and forth with him and Otani make
Skeen appointment viewing. Now, yeah, okay, he already was.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I mean just because the movement on his pitches and
how hard he throws. Like some guys can throw a hundred,
it looks like they're throwing a hundred like there are
some guys will throw ninety five, but it looks like they're,
you know, trying to throw one hundred and twenty. Skeens
has that like a who Nolan Ryan always look like,
(35:42):
let me get out of out of my hammock. Let
me throw a couple of fastballs here. Now I'm gonna
throw a breaking ball, throw another no hitter here. There's
certain pictures that it just felt like it was so
smooth and even though it's coming at three, you know,
triple digits. That was impressive. It was a lot of fun,
(36:03):
all right. Some phone calls here, by the way, you know,
when I talk about you're trying to hit one hundred
mile an hour pitch if you're if you're used to
seeing that, Okay, now I have the because that's what
scares you when you get in the cage and you
dial it up to ninety five, if you've ever had
it up to one hundred, like, it's on you so quick,
(36:23):
And that's why it's the hardest thing in all the
sports to do hit a baseball. But then you start
to pick up on it, Okay, when it leaves the
pitcher's hand. Now, all of a sudden, I realize just
how much time I have, which is very little, and
now I just have to guess where it's going to be.
Still difficult just putting your bat on the ball, let
alone hitting at four hundred and you know, forty feet.
(36:47):
Luke and Charlotte, Hi, Luke, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (36:52):
I just wanted to check up on mar tell him
I'm rooting for him. I don't want to have to
see him go through the five stages of grief again.
And so I had an interesting Danny Hurley question. Does
he take the job if they say we're drafting Bronnie
and there's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I don't know if you take a job where they're
already dictating what you're going to do. I mean, if
I'm Danny Hurley, I'm like, hey, if you're going to
give me the job, give me full autonomy here. You know,
I don't want this to be Frank Vogel Darvin Ham.
I want to go in and I want you to
treat me with respect or I'm not coming. And maybe
this is a situation where they gave him an offer
(37:32):
he couldn't refuse because I don't know how desirable the
Laker job is.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
We've talked about it used to be.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
But then you're you're going into a little bit of drama.
What's lebron going to do? Can ad put back to
back seasons together? What are you going to do with
the roster? What are you allowed to do with the roster?
But I think if you go in there and all
of a sudden it's like, hey, you got to draft Bronnie,
just let you know.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Yes, Paul, I think the Lakers job is historically desirable
and will always be. It could be down and have
dips like a like a market correction, or just be cooled,
but that does not come along often. Yankees, notre Dame,
et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Okay, if Lebron was not there, I.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Don't that would not matter to me at all. The
Lakers are much bigger than Lebron than Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Lebron James reportedly told the Lakers to focus on hiring
a coach who can lead the franchise into the next decade.
He met with the Lakers to talk about the head
coaching search, and that's what he told him. Don't make
a decision based on me for next year or two.
Make the best decision that you can make for the
Lakers franchise for the next decade.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
That's according to brin Winhorst, and I agree. That's why
I like the deal.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
If you're going to give him autonomy to be your coach,
make decisions and that these guys are going to want
to get coached. And he's going to a pretty good team.
Not as good as people you know, the coverage around them,
but that's because of Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Matt and DC. Hi, Matt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (39:11):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (39:11):
Dan, appreciate it, UH, long time listener. Listen, you guys
out thirteen years for every day, so I forgot to
give you a gift this time that. I don't think
Greene's got his hands on yet more likely to win
a championship next year, relying on their aging star Lebron
James or the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Uh okay, well Greeney's going to freak out about that.
You should work for ESPN. You can help them program.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
I thought that he was going to say, more likely
to win a national title next year? Yukon men's team
are the Lakers? Marvin, who's got a better chance of
winning a championship?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
You come they do over the Lakers? Oh yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, that's not even okay. I think you had
a better chance to win the Nbah. But you guys
are preseason number one one? Yeah you were, we were. Yeah,
I'd like to know.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
Now coaches are salivating.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
You imagine all these coaches are like, so your coach
may be leaving.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
You want to come in. I can plug in as
a two guard.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Yes, mar if you're Dan Hurley, do you address the
team right now because all those guys are on campus.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Now, well, we got to wait and see if he
made his decision. You can't go, hey, I'm leaving, and
then all of a sudden he decides that he's not leaving,
and everybody's in the transfer portal.
Speaker 11 (40:34):
No.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Just to address the elephant in the room, well, I
guess you can't just go to practice.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
If I say I'm talking to the Lakers, if i'm
if I'm one of his players, then I have to
really strongly consider transferring if he's not going to be there,
and that's why I'm there. If he says I'm talking
to them, okay, do you want the job if they
get if they offer you the job, or you taking
it coach, I don't know. I'm when I have that conversation.
(41:03):
Maybe he has that relationship with his players. Gino Oriema
has some thoughts and the I taped the interview a
couple hours ago prior to the start of the show,
and I was going to have him on because he
was talking about Caitlin Clark got a new deal, He's
going to be seventy five when this is all done
at YU come and then all of a sudden, the
Danny Hurley story hits and Gino was with Danny Hurley
(41:26):
last night joking about Danny Hurley coaching the Lakers. It's
a great interview with Gino I just put the ball
on the tee and he hits him out of the park.
That'll be coming up in about twenty five minutes from
now hour two on this Thursday.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
After this
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, we didn't see that when coming Welcome to the
program hour one on this Thursday, Dan and the Dance
Dan Patrick Show. The Lakers do have a coach in waiting,
it's just probably not the coach we thought who would
be in waiting. If you're just waking up WOJ with
a WOJ bomb that Danny Hurley is being targeted as
(00:25):
the next head coach of the LA Lakers here, we
thought it was JJ Reddick. We're waiting until the NBA
Finals is over and then he would assume that position.
Not so fast. So once again I guess being targeted
according to WOJ. Usually when WOJ says that, it feels
like the contract talks are a little bit further down
the road, and I'm guessing if Danny Hurley is looking
(00:47):
at what would be compensatory for me what I did
at Yukon now going to the Lakers. Lakers have been
historically cheap with some of their coaches here, and they
lost out on Tyloo because they didn't want to pony
up what the Clippers were willing to pay. He might
look around and go, I want what Tyloo's getting, or
I want what Eric Spolster is getting. Is it going
(01:09):
to be you know, twelve million dollars fifteen million dollars
a year. That's something that Connecticut would not be able
to match because they're a stage school, not a private school.
But this, this was a well kept secret in a
town that doesn't keep secrets very well. Didn't even hear
a hey, you know what's crazy. Here's a wild rumor.
You know what I heard from somebody who talked to
(01:31):
somebody who talked to somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, we didn't have any of that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But Danny Hurley and the LA Lakers are engaged in talks,
or at least that's what I want to be fair
with the wording on this. WOJ just said targeting Danny Hurley. Now,
I want to take you back to April seventeenth, and
Danny Hurley was on the show and I talked to
him about the possibility of leaving yukon what would make
(01:58):
you leave Connecticut?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Maybe just burnout at this point for me, just uh,
you know, pushing too hard and probably you know, just
breaking down at some point, just uh, because you just
can't keep up the intensity and and the energy and
and you know, the output. Uh. And then maybe down
the road, if I could grow up a little bit mature,
(02:25):
you know, matrorel a little bit with the emotions, maybe
the NBA, you know, down down the road. Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So why do you want to do that? Why do
you want to do that to yourself? Go to the NBA?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Well, you know, I think college has become like the
G League. Uh, you know, yeah in a way. I
mean it's uh, you know, not that's obviously tongue in cheek,
but you know, a lot of the college game has changed.
You know, you you you, you win the national championship,
and obviously we're gonna do things, go to White, do
(02:59):
these we have the parade to do these things. But
you're basically right into free agency frenzy. So you know,
it's I'm more worried about burnout that I am going
to the NBA.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So there's a lot of elements here in play. And
you hear all the time Lebron not involved in the
coaching search. He I know, has given a stamp of
approval to what Danny Hurley has done at Connecticut. I
think he's already responded to the possibility of Danny Hurley
going to the Lakers, Danny Hurley and his staff Bill
Murray's son Luke, they have really kind of reprogrammed college
(03:38):
basketball with their approach on recruiting to style offensively, and
maybe this is something the Lakers looked at and said,
this isn't a two year play, this is a seven
year play. This is about the Lakers, not Lebron and
not Anthony Davis. This is about us as we move
forward as a franchise. Now we have a coach who
(04:00):
who we believe in in developing players, and Hurley is
very good at doing that and he sees what others
don't see. Now his style is always what's going to
be the curious part for me, because he talked about burnout.
Now you have eighty two games, and you're going to
have eighty two games under a microscope like you've never
(04:20):
had before. Every you know, moment with Lebron or AD
is going to be amplified. You're not in stores Connecticut anymore.
If this does happen now you're with the Lakers, everything
is going to be magnified. Your style. We hear from
Brian Winhorst all the time. Wendy says Lebron loves to
be coached. Okay, you're going to be coached, and here
(04:42):
you are at the end of your career and you
got Anthony Davis. They did not play Kate Lebron because
that probably would have been JJ Reddick JJ Reddick calling
the finals, and we thought, you know, this was just
you know, mere formality. He's going to do the NBA
Finals once he's done with his requirements with ESPN ABC,
that he takes the Laker job. You didn't hear anything
(05:06):
about any possibility with Danny Hurley, and that is surprising,
but I think it's awesome. I think if Danny Hurley
wants that challenge and he's you know, he's lived and coached,
grew up on the East Coast, and I think he'd
always said, you know, remember we talked to him about
the Kentucky job, and it's like, no, my wife, no,
(05:28):
we would. She didn't want to leave, you know, the
Tri state area, and that's something you know, I'm sure
this is part of the negotiation of convincing her to
go out to Los Angeles to take that job. But
you know, given the state of college basketball, nil transfer portal,
I mean, it used to be ad control. Now you
(05:48):
don't have any control. I mean, he can try, but
let's say it doesn't work out, if he goes to
the Lakers, and maybe after four years, he can always
go back to college basketball.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
So I get it. I understand it. It's the next
challenge for him.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I mean, if you're at Yukon, you're sad if this happens,
but you also have to say, hey, thank you. I mean,
gave you back to back national titles. So there's something
to be said for everybody involved in this. With the Lakers,
with what they're doing, why they're doing it, Lebron, how
does this work with him? Ad how does this work
(06:23):
with him? And then Danny Hurley that style of what
you were doing at Connecticut. You know, he's like Mike
McDaniel with the Dolphins, like he's an innovator. He's trying
to come up with different concepts. This might be what
he runs, might be similar to the triangle offense as
far as this could be something that other teams try
to adopt, or you're trying to understand it. So many
(06:46):
different options, and the offense has been great. You know,
they dominated college basketball, outscoring their opponents by what close
to two hundred points. It felt like and then you
went back to back titles. So that's the big news today.
D Once again, Woje's reporting that the Lakers are targeting
Dan Hurley. And you know, if I'm looking at what
(07:08):
is going to be security guaranteed contract, you know, six seven,
eight years, you know it would take that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You want me to run your organization?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
All right, then you got to pay me, and they're
going to have to pay Danny Hurling stat of the
Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading
cards of the Dan Patrick Show. As the weather gets warmer,
it's time to think about the three f's. That's family, friends,
and food. And nothing brings those three together quite like
King Sawaian. So make every Sunday a slider Sunday, kings Hawaiian.
(07:40):
Oh yes, do you put?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
How much value do you put in the chance to
repeat pretty rare in college basketball? That's a once in
a generation, once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm trying to
think of reasons that Dan Hurley would stay at Yukon
because jumping to the Lakers for a crazy amount of money,
(08:04):
which we assume it would be, is almost like and
the stamp of approval from Lebron, you know, is like
just an insurmount. Why wouldn't you do that? Anybody would
do that?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I think the challenge, like everything about Danny Hurley
is a chip on his shoulder when he was playing
to when he was coaching, he still has a chip
on his shoulder, and he's probably going to say, all right,
you know, I'm the third most famous Hurley, my dad Bobby,
I'm going to be the most famous. And I think
that probably, you know, kind of feeds into who he
(08:36):
is and his personality.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Now you go to the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
As far as staying, you know, you stay, You've created something.
Now you are the face of college basketball. But I
don't know what motivates him, what makes him tick.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yes, well that is the thing too that I think
about is that he was sort of born and raised
in basketball as a lot of people have, and their
family is much more famous for college bass basketball then
for professional basketball. Right, it certainly won't be his last
job offer, although I don't know how many times the
Lakers come calling, But just knowing that, or at least
(09:15):
thinking of him as a little bit of a college
basketball historian, the chance to three peat is pretty great.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, I don't know what motivates him. Like for us,
you'd go, boy, that'd be awesome to three pete. You
know what would be more awesome to win a title
with the Lakers. One peating with the Lakers. Yes, just
one title, one pete. Yeah, nobody ever won peats.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
A singular pete with Lebron and the Lakers on his
way out.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I'll do that all day. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Say good morning if you're watching on Peacock or streaming
partner one peat. Yeah, download the app if you haven't
done so. Radio affiliates around the country. We have our poll, question,
play of the day, stat of the day, all of
that coming forthcoming. And by the way, the NBA Finals
starting tonight. I wondered what the commissioner thinks of this
this morning where he's like, all right, yeah, all this
attention game won everybody excited?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Wait, what's woad? You're reporting the lake? What at least
it's basketball.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You imagine if it was an Aaron Rodgers story and
then all of a sudden everybody would be you know,
that would be suffocating you. But get ready for a
healthy dose here because it's the Lakers and it's Lebron.
It's not like he's going to the Bobcats. He's going
to the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
If that's the case, Wow, and he's going Yeah, that
is accurate though. Yes, it's the Lakers. It's not the Bobcats.
It's Lebron and the Lakers. Ad Well, Lebron.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, he is, I know's see if he wants to
be coached too, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
It's kind of sad. I was just thinking, if Danny
Hurley leaves college basketball a true character and basically the
face of college basketball. Nick Saban leaves college football a
couple months ago, Jim Harbaugh leaves college football a couple
months ago, and they're all going pro. I went and
look back. This is kind of comparable to Nick Saban
when he was in the middle of his run at Bama.
Every year there was a rumor about him being looked
(11:06):
at for the Cowboys job and it was never real.
You never found any reports, but there's always rumors. This
was the opposite. There was never rumors, just real.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, it's my job to think this way. Could this
be leverage for Danny Hurley with a new contract at Connecticut?
Could I just want to I got to look at
all angles here? Could it have started that way because
he's been looking for a contract extension all of a sudden.
You know what, I said, I wouldn't take another college job,
(11:37):
but I didn't say I wouldn't go to the NBA.
Right now, I don't know if it's a leverage play.
WOJ and Wendy keep saying, Hey, this isn't a done
deal yet they're targeting him. Okay, I do have to
look at sort of what's been going on and is
there a leverage play. We taped an interview with Gino
Oriema about forty five minutes ago. I'm going to play
(12:01):
it next hour, and I'm going to tell you it's
appointment listening.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It is wild.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
We touch on a variety of things, including a conversation
he had with Danny Hurley last night about taking the
Laker job. What are the odds that he spoke with
Danny Hurley last night not even knowing that Danny Hurley
had been talking or is talking or going to be
talking to the Lakers. He works down the hall from him. So, Gino,
(12:34):
the interview that we did last forty five minutes ago,
it'll be next hour at this time, and it is
Must Listen Radio.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
We do talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Caitlyn Clark, the treatment of Kitlyn Clark as well, and
he's got some things to say about college basketball and
certainly on the men's side of where we are right now.
But Gino Oriema, who just signed the contract extension with
the Yukon women five year OD, he'll join us coming up.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Yes, Marvin, do you think the Lakers need Hurley Moore
or the hur or Hurley needs the Lakers more the.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Lakers need Hurley. There's no great coaching candidates out there.
I mean, there's no marquee name where you go Jerry
West or pat Riley or Phil Jackson. Danny Hurley, he's
on the short list of most famous coaches in America.
And what he's done wherever he's gone, he wins. I
(13:28):
mean there's a horrorball feel to him of hey, I'm here,
I'm there, I'm there, and everybody's a winner. And Harball
coaches this raw, raw college type way, and Danny Hurley
coaches that way as well. But it's it's pretty shocking though.
But I would say the Lakers, if the Lakers get
get somebody, you know, you want stability. It's not you know,
(13:51):
who's the coach now, Well, he won't be coaching too
much longer.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's what I wondered about JJ Reddick. Would he be
a two year coach?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Because is Lebron going to play for two years and
then all of a sudden you change because you're going
to be in a rebuild Danny Hurley, and you know,
the Lakers aren't going, well, this would be good for us.
Five years down the road. They still think that they
can win, and rightfully so. And you have Lebron and
Ad and you should think you could win. But I
(14:20):
think this is a bigger picture, bigger play for the
Lakers to say, we got a coach who's going to
have tenure, he's going to be respected, he's a bright mind,
and he's going to be the future, the current and
the future of our organization. But as far as Danny Hurley,
I mean, unless it's money, he could have stayed at
(14:42):
Connecticut try for a three peak and you know, maybe
this is just you put it all in the blender
and you go, golle it's too good to pass up.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Yes, Marv stores Laguna Beach, same thing on a stage, Yeah,
it's all the same.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yes, don I know he just won back to back titles.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
And we're not saying that Danny Hurley would be instantly
successful if he took the job. But is he going
to hear the same kind of things that JJ Reddick's
doing with Hey, he's never coached one game in the NBA.
Is Knowing going to state anything about Danny Hurley and
what he can do or not doing the pros?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
No? No, he proved it in college.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You guys have proved that he's in college and then
there was a disaster in the pros well.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But I think because of that, because of what he's
did at Yukon, JJ Reddick hadn't coached at all. Danny
Hurley has coached young players and he's won back to
back titles. That's a pretty good resume to go into
the NBA. Now, we've had coaches. Jerry Tarkanian didn't last
long when he went in to coach the Spurs. It
(15:44):
was on this day, this is the anniversary of coach
k considering going in to coach the Lakers. There you
have Billy Donovan when Billy Donovan left Florida, Steve Spurrier
when he left Florida go to Washington, Nick Saban went
there's it's littered with that. But I think this is
a great hire by the Lakers. I love it now.
(16:07):
If it happens, I think it's a great, great hire.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I do.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And I think that's once again woje is saying this,
so is Windy. They're just they're targeting him now. It
feels like if WOJ is saying this, they're further down
the road. This is like woj is saying, hey, they're
targeting him, and then six six hours from now, it's like, yeah,
done deal, Yes, Seaton, you.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Know it's weird.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I bet that the one thing that might actually be
standing in the way of Dan Hurley taking this job
is lifestyle.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yes, yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I don't think he has any interest in moving a
portion of his family to Los Angeles. I think he
wants to stay right on the East Coast where he's
near his parents and he's near his family and all
the Jersey stuff that they got going on, that's all real,
that's all very real. He wants to be right here.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's one of the biggest surprising parts of this, not
that he would be taking the job interested that he
would leave the East Coast all right, we'll take a
break once again gino Oriama conversation we recorded a little
less than an hour ago. Reggie Miller will join us
as well as we preview Game one of the NBA
Finals just getting started. Who a lot to talk about
(17:13):
back after this Dan Patrick show.

We've all used different tools.

Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast Ask or wherever you

Speaker 2 (18:05):
We will come up with a pole question today. Reggie
Miller a little bit later on gino Oriemo just signed
a five year extension to continue to coach the Yukon women,
get his thoughts on Danny Hurley, and they are strong opinions,
and the fact that they were together last night and
Gino tells the story about joking about Danny going to
(18:26):
the Lakers, and here we are this morning. So we
tape the interview an hour ago and it is well
worth appointment listing and viewing there.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, seeing what's pole question?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
And by the way, remember every player on the yukad
team will have a thirty day window to transfer. If
Hurley joins the Lakers the transfer portal with a coach
leaving now, they would have thirty days to be able
to decide what they wanted to do. The timing is
unfortunate and odd. And then you got to get an
(19:00):
head coach in there. Do you promote from within? Does
Bill Murray's son Luke, who is an offensive minded whiz
with the Yukon Huskies, does he go with Danny Hurley,
which I would assume he would, or would he get
the opportunity to coach the men's team. So there's a
little bit of uneasiness. I'm going to guess on that
Storre's Connecticut campus so if every if he goes, then
(19:23):
every player has the opportunity for a thirty day transfer
portal window.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Seaton. What's poll question for our one?
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Well, do you want the snarky one from Paul first
or another one? Let's let's go snark Okay, yeah, okay.
Who is having the worst day?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Jj Reddick?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
It's unfortunate yeah for him? Okay, uh sham sharania. Ooh,
because Woj dropped the WOJ bomb. Wojbomb, early morning, wolomb
early morning. Okay, yukon basketball fans, Oh wow, that's not
a great morning for that.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
No, it's not.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Those are your th options on those three others?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Neither now there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
So there's reporting going on now, but it's early on
the West coast and trying to get somebody on record
with the Lakers or even off the record, giving you
a little bit more of painting the picture of what's happening.
The Lakers are planning to offer their head coaching position
to Danny Hurley. That's according to people with knowledge of
the team's plans not authorized to speak publicly. The sides
(20:30):
are expected to have increased discussions in the upcoming days,
with the Lakers highly motivated to try and lure Danny
Hurley from college basketball. That's Dan Witki, the La Times
Lakers beat writer. So everybody is up early and on
their toes with this story that broke what about three
(20:54):
hours ago, two and a half hours ago. Yeah, Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Fritzy texted in our group text and I was just,
you know, getting going in the morning. I had not
checked any of the websites and it said pursuing woj
slash Hurley and I was like, what is this wog
is an NBA guy and which Hurley is he talking about?
It was that far from my mind that Danny Hurley
could be a candidate for a pro job.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I was listening to ESPN Radio their morning show. They
did a great job and you know, breaking news and
then having Wojan and Wendy on and giving perspective there,
and I'm like, wow, Danny Hurley to the Lakers. Didn't
see that one coming. And then I immediately went, Okay,
now we got gino Oriama on, we can bring back Hurley.
(21:39):
The interview we did I asked him about and he
really I was surprised he entertained that question when I said,
why would you leave Connecticut and then he said, you know,
maybe burnout or the possibility of coaching in the NBA.
And I don't think it's burnout. I think it's just
the opportunity to coach the Lakers and Lebron.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
More, It's funny because as Yukon fan after maybe like around.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
May, is that why you're wearing all black today?
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Look, I didn't want to say it, but when where
Frizzy texted the group and then all the news came out,
I was like, man, I'm over here ready for a
three p Like, look, look at the team. Hey, the
incoming freshman, the transfers, they're on campus now. I'm like,
all right, let's go. I'm like, no, because in around
April and he doesn't take any more jobs, I go, oh,
he's gonna stay at Yukon. Yeah, like not June.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, when he had the opportunity to coach Kentucky and
said no, no, I don't want another head coaching job
in college basketball. I mean this probably said I can't
turn this down. I get to coach the Lakers, I
get to coach Lebron. I get a chance to mold
a franchise, remold a franchise, yes, PAULI.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I've been trying to think about this story and how
it came about, because it seems like it's recent. It
doesn't seem like they've been talks with Danny Hurly for
a while. I don't think that would have held. I
have a theory, and I wonder what you think of it.
Do you think that they had targeted JJ Reddick and
we're going in that direction? And then when Reddick says
I can't commit toil the finals are over, they have time,
(23:09):
there's time to think about it, ponder it. And someone
in the franchise says, we're really going to hand our
franchise over to a guy who's never coached basketball before,
which was a fair question, and they said, should we
kick the tires on all options? While we had the
time before the NBA Finals over, and all of a sudden,
Danny Hurley's name pops up, you know, like they had
a window to rethink their higher before they made their
(23:32):
higher of JJ Reddick.
Speaker 10 (23:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
There are a lot of people insiders who had JJ
Reddick taking this job of mere formality, and if I
wanted JJ Reddick, I would have said to him, let's
sign a contract. We'll wait until after the NBA Finals
and then you're going to be our head coach. I
know you wanted, you have a job to do at
ESPN and ABC. That's what I think would happen. But man,
if you're JJ Reddick, how do you think you've found
(23:56):
out today? And he's got to do the NBA Final tonight,
I'm assuming he's going to be doing the game. But
if I'm ESPN, and look, I don't want to program
ESPN again, but I would be saying to JJ Reddick, JJ,
we'd like to talk to you on Sports Center or
Get Up or First Take or any of those shows
(24:19):
that we want to hear what you know, because he
said I'll talk about this when the NBA Finals are over,
and we're not gonna let him wait until then, because
even Mike Breen doing the game with him, you got
to ask him.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, seton.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
There's this piece of video that people keep pointing to
today where it's from JJ Reddick's podcast and he's talking
to Dan Hurley after the National Championship game, and people
are talking about it because Lebron then commented under the
video of like, Hey, this guy is great this you know,
talking about how the offense that Dan Hurley is describing
(24:58):
is so innovative and like, man, this sounds like fun.
We need more of this, right, But the real problem
with the video is it's awesome for Dan Hurley because
he looks like a genius and he gets the Lebron
stamp of approval, But unfortunately for JJ Reddick, he the
question is like, man, how did you come up with
this play?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
This play is crazy?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
And Dan Hurley goes through like a beautiful mind type
version of like, so this is what this is? Right?
He brings in the forty nine ers, he brings in
a Turkish basketball team. He's like, you got two slugs
high point they split to the trips, Like, oh my god,
what the hell even is this?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
This is crazy?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
And then if you're looking at that video and you're like, so, Lakers,
who do we want as the head coach? Uh, well,
one of them kind of jumps off the screen a
little bit as the guy. That's a tough piece of video.
If you're both up for the same job.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, you do you want the guy who's asking the
question or the guy who has all the answers, how
did you do this?
Speaker 5 (25:50):
This is crazy? Like, oh, let me tell you. Yeah, uh, well,
I think I know who we want to coach. And
then Lebron, will you know, give co sign on that
as well? Yeah, Marvin, Yeah. So Lebron responds to that video.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
He says he's so damn good along with his staff,
super creative with this offense.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Love it.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
So that means Hurley and your staff, all you guys
come along, Luke Murray, come on a young you guys
all can come along?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yes, damn And if you're JJ Reddick, like, when did
you find out? Now?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Once again not finalized, but when did you find out
that they could be interested in Danny Hurley? Did he
find out this morning when we did that?
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Next Reddick Lebron podcast is going to be fantastic?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh, in one direction or another? So, JJ, how are you?
I don't know Lebron? What's new? How am I? Yeah?
Seon what if the.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
JJ Reddick rumors about him getting the Lakers job stemmed
from somebody being like, hey, so who do you think
should be the head coach? You've seen the JJ Reddick
podcast and then it's like, yeah, JJ Rett No, the
interview with Dan Hurley on the JJ Reddick podcast, that's
the guy that we but the interview that Reddick did
with Hurley that's on is that's on Old Man in
the three, not the one that he does with Lebron.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It'd be great if Hurley takes the job, and then
Lebron and Hurley are on JJ Reddick's podcast, all three
of them. I'm programming here, mad Scientist here, Paul and
Iowa leads this off. Good morning, Paul. What's on your
mind today?
Speaker 10 (27:26):
Hey Dan? Well, if Hurley takes this job, he'd probably
be the first NBA head coach to receive the suspension
for his sixteenth tech of the season. But I have
two reasons that I don't think he'll take this job. Okay, One,
you look at this path and everybody from John Bline,
Lon Krueger, Patino, Calipari, Tim Floyd, and Hoiberg shout out
(27:49):
Iowa state this is a hard road and there's not
a lot of success there. And the second reason I
don't think he's gonna do this is it reminds me
a lot of when we freaked out for two days
because missus Nick Saban was looking at houses in Austin.
Oh my gosh, what's going to happen?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, here's another thing though, these coaches who took jobs
who were college coaches, legendary coaches. How good were the
teams that they were going to. You got to factor
that in as well. I mean, this is a Laker team,
playoff team. You got Lebron, you got ad, you got
some assets, you got some draft picks here. This might
(28:28):
be different than those other coaches. And how are you wired?
The only thing I would worry about with Hurley is
you can't take every loss the way you do when
you're at Yukon.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
You have to move on.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
It's almost like you're a closer in baseball and you
give up a home run one night. You got to
forget about it when you go and you play the
next night, and then you come in you have to
be able to put it behind you.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
That is difficult for these players.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It's difficult for players when they go in and they
have great success in college and allmost sudden you're going,
we won like eleven games. I never lost eleven games
in my career. You know those kind of things. And
the coach is this same way, like you're winning and
you're dominating, And does everybody want to be coached? And
(29:16):
do you want to be coached by Danny Hurling because
there's a difference there. Hey, I'm going to listen to
this guy, okay, and then you want to see, okay,
does he know what he's talking about? Do we have
results here? But you got to do that for eighty
two games? Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Have you ever talked to coaches that go from college
to the NBA and they're like, man, forty four games
and I'm only halfway through the season. Have you ever
ran into people that complained about the length of the season.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I don't remember doing that.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I just know there were so many other things that
coaches had to understand. And I think going from college
football to pro football is a bigger jump than going
college basketball to the NBA because your college teams, some
of your college teams are older than some of the
NBA teams. Like, you're getting these kids, they might be
in there for one year, transfer portal, You're dealing with
(30:11):
all the ancillary things. Maybe when you get to the Lakers,
you're not dealing with as many things. You're coaching. You're
coming up with philosophies here. You have ideas, you have answers.
That's what attracts a player to a coach, it's like,
I trust you. It's like with Belichick. They probably didn't
like him, but man, they respected him. I go back
(30:32):
to Lombardy. They didn't like him, but they respected him
because they knew what the bottom line is going to be.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That's what you want in a coach. He can win.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Follow me, trust me, Joe and Orlando, Hi Joe, what's
on your mind?
Speaker 10 (30:48):
Morning? So is Dan?
Speaker 11 (30:49):
I have a question for you. If your genie or
Robs and you say Dan is the highers early is
the higher and you know he loves the grind the whole,
get us why you can mentality? Do you signal to
the league? Hey, it's rebuilding time. Lebron already said he
wants to be a free agent. You trade a d
that acquired the noise as far as him, have an
(31:11):
immediate success, and Dan Hurley gets a fair chance to
actually build the team in his image.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
What would you do if you were Rob or Well?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I don't think Dan Hurley takes the job if it's
going to be a rebuild. I think Dan Hurley wants
to be successful. I mean, you just went back to back,
Now you're going to go to a rebuild. I mean
if that's the case, then go to the Bobcats or
whoever you're going to the Lakers. Lakers they want to win.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
The problem I had later in the Kobe years is
they held on to Kobe, paid him a lot of money,
but the team wasn't very good. But they were giving
you somebody to come out and watch, and Kobe delivered
with that. But it wasn't a great move for the
franchise with this with Lebron and a d Lebron still
plays at a high level. Ad can play at a
high level, and he's coming off a really good year.
(32:00):
You just have to get the other players on that
roster healthy and then you're gonna have to make a
move or two. But basketball now is two stars, not
three two and then you have a balanced roster here.
And that's what I would be wanting to do if
I'm Dan Hurley. But Hurley, make no mistake about it,
He's not going in for a rebuild. He's going in
for a reload. Play the day up next.

Malu scores, Bopy scores. Here come Sono, He'll score. Judge
for the face is clear and triple he the Yankees
wait seven Nothing.

(33:23):
I was watching baseball last night. I did watch a
little bit of the College World Series Women's softball Texas
and Oklahoma. Then I was watching the Pirates against the Dodgers.
Paul Schemes he was he was throwing cheese last night.
He struck out eight over five innings, the number one
draft pick out of LSU. And when shohe Otani got
(33:45):
to the plate his first at bat against Paul Schemes,
it sounded like this.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
So strikes out Otani. The crowd hushes got the pitch
from Schemes.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
Swinging this.
Speaker 9 (33:57):
Woe blood right time.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Two s strikeouts for Paul Steins. I gets two.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Mvts so Hundi, Hundi, hundi. And then the next time
Show Hey Otani came to the plate. It was another
one hundred mile an hour pitch.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Pitch this ball swung on hammer to centerfield empty, so
Winsky back to the track piece of the wall.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
It's got a home run.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Show Hey Turny hits it out and the Dodgers on
the board at seven to two for show Hey, home
run number fifteen.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
He is the first to homer Office Schiens fastball, and
he had quite a few pitches that were in triple
digits last night. But you know that's the thing. You
can look silly on three one hundred mile an hour
fastballs and then all of a sudden, the fourth one
you get gone. That's courtesy of Dodgers Radio Network AM
(34:50):
five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Now that's one of those next time around that you're
gonna be like, what time do they play? But Skeens,
he's the real deal man. He's just gonna throw as
hard as he can for as long as he can.
It just feels like that's the philosophy here. Got into
trouble bases, loaded, got out of it, and then you
know he went five innings, struck out A yes, Mark.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Did that back and forth with him and Otani make
Skeen appointment viewing. Now, yeah, okay, he already was.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I mean just because the movement on his pitches and
how hard he throws. Like some guys can throw a hundred,
it looks like they're throwing a hundred like there are
some guys will throw ninety five, but it looks like they're,
you know, trying to throw one hundred and twenty. Skeens
has that like a who Nolan Ryan always look like,
(35:42):
let me get out of out of my hammock. Let
me throw a couple of fastballs here. Now I'm gonna
throw a breaking ball, throw another no hitter here. There's
certain pictures that it just felt like it was so
smooth and even though it's coming at three, you know,
triple digits. That was impressive. It was a lot of fun,
(36:03):
all right. Some phone calls here, by the way, you know,
when I talk about you're trying to hit one hundred
mile an hour pitch if you're if you're used to
seeing that, Okay, now I have the because that's what
scares you when you get in the cage and you
dial it up to ninety five, if you've ever had
it up to one hundred, like, it's on you so quick,
(36:23):
And that's why it's the hardest thing in all the
sports to do hit a baseball. But then you start
to pick up on it, Okay, when it leaves the
pitcher's hand. Now, all of a sudden, I realize just
how much time I have, which is very little, and
now I just have to guess where it's going to be.
Still difficult just putting your bat on the ball, let
alone hitting at four hundred and you know, forty feet.
(36:47):
Luke and Charlotte, Hi, Luke, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (36:52):
I just wanted to check up on mar tell him
I'm rooting for him. I don't want to have to
see him go through the five stages of grief again.
And so I had an interesting Danny Hurley question. Does
he take the job if they say we're drafting Bronnie
and there's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I don't know if you take a job where they're
already dictating what you're going to do. I mean, if
I'm Danny Hurley, I'm like, hey, if you're going to
give me the job, give me full autonomy here. You know,
I don't want this to be Frank Vogel Darvin Ham.
I want to go in and I want you to
treat me with respect or I'm not coming. And maybe
this is a situation where they gave him an offer
(37:32):
he couldn't refuse because I don't know how desirable the
Laker job is.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
We've talked about it used to be.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
But then you're you're going into a little bit of drama.
What's lebron going to do? Can ad put back to
back seasons together? What are you going to do with
the roster? What are you allowed to do with the roster?
But I think if you go in there and all
of a sudden it's like, hey, you got to draft Bronnie,
just let you know.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
Yes, Paul, I think the Lakers job is historically desirable
and will always be. It could be down and have
dips like a like a market correction, or just be cooled,
but that does not come along often. Yankees, notre Dame,
et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Okay, if Lebron was not there, I.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Don't that would not matter to me at all. The
Lakers are much bigger than Lebron than Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Lebron James reportedly told the Lakers to focus on hiring
a coach who can lead the franchise into the next decade.
He met with the Lakers to talk about the head
coaching search, and that's what he told him. Don't make
a decision based on me for next year or two.
Make the best decision that you can make for the
Lakers franchise for the next decade.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
That's according to brin Winhorst, and I agree. That's why
I like the deal.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
If you're going to give him autonomy to be your coach,
make decisions and that these guys are going to want
to get coached. And he's going to a pretty good team.
Not as good as people you know, the coverage around them,
but that's because of Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Matt and DC. Hi, Matt, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (39:11):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (39:11):
Dan, appreciate it, UH, long time listener. Listen, you guys
out thirteen years for every day, so I forgot to
give you a gift this time that. I don't think
Greene's got his hands on yet more likely to win
a championship next year, relying on their aging star Lebron
James or the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Uh okay, well Greeney's going to freak out about that.
You should work for ESPN. You can help them program.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
I thought that he was going to say, more likely
to win a national title next year? Yukon men's team
are the Lakers? Marvin, who's got a better chance of
winning a championship?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
You come they do over the Lakers? Oh yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, that's not even okay. I think you had
a better chance to win the Nbah. But you guys
are preseason number one one? Yeah you were, we were. Yeah,
I'd like to know.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
Now coaches are salivating.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
You imagine all these coaches are like, so your coach
may be leaving.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
You want to come in. I can plug in as
a two guard.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Yes, mar if you're Dan Hurley, do you address the
team right now because all those guys are on campus.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Now, well, we got to wait and see if he
made his decision. You can't go, hey, I'm leaving, and
then all of a sudden he decides that he's not leaving,
and everybody's in the transfer portal.
Speaker 11 (40:34):
No.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Just to address the elephant in the room, well, I
guess you can't just go to practice.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
If I say I'm talking to the Lakers, if i'm
if I'm one of his players, then I have to
really strongly consider transferring if he's not going to be there,
and that's why I'm there. If he says I'm talking
to them, okay, do you want the job if they
get if they offer you the job, or you taking
it coach, I don't know. I'm when I have that conversation.
(41:03):
Maybe he has that relationship with his players. Gino Oriema
has some thoughts and the I taped the interview a
couple hours ago prior to the start of the show,
and I was going to have him on because he
was talking about Caitlin Clark got a new deal, He's
going to be seventy five when this is all done
at YU come and then all of a sudden, the
Danny Hurley story hits and Gino was with Danny Hurley
(41:26):
last night joking about Danny Hurley coaching the Lakers. It's
a great interview with Gino I just put the ball
on the tee and he hits him out of the park.
That'll be coming up in about twenty five minutes from
now hour two on this Thursday.
