Dan Hurley knew money couldn’t buy happiness with the Lakers
Dan Hurley is staying at UConn. The 51-year-old has turned down a head coaching offer from the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Lakers offered Hurley a six-year, $70 million deal, according to Woj.
Hurley led UConn to back-to-back national championships in 2023 and 2024. He’s seeking to become the first men’s college basketball coach to three-peat since John Wooden at UCLA.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic had 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in Sunday’s Game 2 loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, but afterward, he shouldered the blame, saying, “My turnovers and my missed free throws cost us the game.

Jrue Holiday’s 26 points helped Boston to a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis appeared to tweak his right leg in the fourth quarter but feels good about playing in Game 3, saying, “I’ll die out there if we need.

Dan Hurley made one of the most important decisions of his coaching career in the past 24 hours, deciding to stay at UConn and not take the Los Angeles Lakers job. 
Coming off his second straight national championship with the UConn Huskies, Hurley knew that his ties to the northeast would play a massive role in deciding whether to take on the NBA, or remain at Connecticut and go for another title.

A whopping $70M deal was not enough to lure Dan Hurley from Storrs to Los Angeles. Instead of coaching LeBron James, he’ll chase a 3-peat with the Huskies.

Their actions? Racial taunts and abuse directed at Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior, during a LaLiga game that took place back in May of 2023.

The gatekeepers and women of the WNBA share an obvious, deeply rooted disdain for Caitlin Clark. See how they treat, speak of, and undermine her. 
Clark, a straight white woman, is the main protagonist in a league most proud of its elevation of black lesbians. However, it’s not just Clark’s identity that stirs animus from other players. It’s also her lack of self-guilt.
Let us explain:
