The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considering hiring University of Connecticut coach Dan Hurley for their head coaching position. During an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul praised Hurley’s coaching style, citing his ability to communicate effectively with his players as a key factor in earning his respect.
Paul highlighted the importance of players being engaged and attentive during coaching sessions, emphasizing the positive body language and unity that Hurley’s coaching style promotes. He predicted that Hurley would receive the same level of respect from the Lakers’ players if he were to take on the head coaching role for the team.
Hurley recently led UConn to their second consecutive NCAA D-I National Championship, marking a remarkable turnaround for a program that had struggled before his arrival. Now, the Lakers are hopeful that hiring Hurley will bring similar success and help the team return to the NBA Finals.
