The Lakers are pulling a page out of Jerry Buss' script, seeking the best coach at any level to help overhaul the team at a critical juncture.
This is crazy. This could work. This is loud and turbulent and fraught with unending drama and unceasing peril. This could work. I was stunned by the Thursday morning news that the Lakers have targeted college basketball’s best coach to become their next coach. I also really, really, really loved it. Danny Hurley? The UConn coach who just led his team to college basketball’s first back-to-back championship in 17 years? No brainer. No question. No more looking.
Coming off the floor after a loss to Creighton earlier this season, he screamed at a heckling fan, “I will knock you out!” After a raucous game in Providence, he challenged a fan, “Come here, come right here, you’ll get hurt!” He later explained to the media, “You shouldn’t be yelling at me when you’re down 20. You should just wait for the game to be over and walk out. If he wasn’t barking at me, I wouldn’t have said anything to him.
