Dan Hurley will be staying at UConn after the Lakers “targeted” him for their head coaching job, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Monday.
Over the weekend, veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein wrote on his Substack page, The Stein Line, that former Villanova head coach Jay Wright should be considered as a “stealth candidate” to host the Lakers.
“I had been warned early on by one well-placed insider, for what it’s worth, to stay ready in case former Villanova coach Jay Wright emerged as a stealth candidate,” Stein wrote.
