The national championship coach believes that his coaching style would translate to other sports.
UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon as New York took on the Boston Red Sox."The leadership piece, the psychology, the motivation, the relationship building, just all that stuff...like leading men through all the ups and downs of these seasons. I think I'd be a better football coach than basketball actually. Just my intensity, I think fits football guys," Hurley quipped.
The two-time national champion for UConn is going for a three-peat next season, choosing to pursue another championship chase at the college level over jumping to the NBA and leading the Los Angeles Lakers.Mike McDaniel is a writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
