00:00Now, the Danny Hurley part of it?

00:05Apparently, he's talking to the Denver Nuggets.

00:08They're loose reports, right?

00:10It's not the Laker level of reporting that we saw.

00:13Or maybe the Laker level reporting was a friend helping out a friend

00:17get some extra money.

00:18And then that friend since now went back and worked in college himself.

00:21You can connect those dots.

00:23I can't envision a world Hurley leaves UConn.

00:30To go to Denver.

00:31After all of the reasons I heard he wasn't leaving UConn.

00:35I also just think, and J.Y., I'll let you handle the rest of this

00:39before we hit our break.

00:41Considering the job security that exists in college,

00:44going to a spot like Denver who just did what they did with Michael Malone,

00:49it actually feels like it would be a crazy decision

00:53to leave this level of job security to coach the Denver Nuggets.

00:58I think it would be absolutely wild if he went to Denver.

01:02I mean, I understood the Lakers.

01:05And obviously, you know, Dan being a Jersey guy and being connected

01:09and knowing some of the people that were thinking about going to the Lakers,

01:12like, it was this close.

01:15Like, he had called people.

01:16He had formulated staffs.

01:18People I know were going to go work for him for the Lakers.

01:20But he also, Kevin, did this when he went to UConn,

01:24and he hemmed and hauled to leave a place like Rhode Island.

01:27So, to me, it's going to be interesting.

01:29I think he stays.

01:30I think it's another ploy for maybe more money.

01:33Yeah.

01:33He stays.

01:34There's too much jobs.

01:35At what point could he, like, even if they did bad last year,

01:37he's still there.

01:38He also has a pretty strong team coming to stores next season.
