FOX Sports' John Fanta provides an in-depth look at Dan Hurley's decision to turn down the Lakers' coaching job and stay at UConn, where he will chase a third straight national title.
Dan Hurley became the new face of men's college basketball when he and his UConn Huskies wrapped up a second consecutive national title this past April, catapulting the head coach into company with Mike Krzyzewski and Billy Donovan as the only men's college coaches to win back-to-back titles in the last 40 years.
But at the end of the day, Hurley going to see Joel at MSG — donning a 'New York, New York' shirt — is exactly why he's going to continue to call the Northeast home. In a span of 816 days, Hurley has gone from losing to New Mexico State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to winning the last 12 March Madness games by a combined 260 points.
