UConn AD David Benedict said the program would do 'everything we can to remain in position to win championships.'
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dan Hurley entered rare air on Monday night, becoming just the third men’s college basketball coach to repeat as a national champion since the end of John Wooden’s dynasty in the 1970s. And when it was over — a marking Connecticut’s 12th consecutive NCAA Tournament win by double digits — Hurley found himself in another very small club: coaches who’ve won it all and immediately had to address the possibility of leaving for another program.
The Wildcats have deep pockets, all the trappings of a blue blood and they need to nail this hire for a passionate and impatient fan base. Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart needs to take big swings, and Hurley might be the biggest swing. He just became the first coach to go back-to-back since at Florida in 2006 and 2007. Mike Krzyzewski and Duke also repeated in 1991 and 1992. After his first title last season, Hurley signed a new six-year, $32.
