Dan Hurley: A Rising Star in College Basketball

From Seton Hall to UConn, Hurley's Journey to Success

Former Seton Hall point guard Dan Hurley has emerged as a leading candidate to coach the Los Angeles Lakers, having led UConn to back-to-back NCAA men's basketball championships. Hurley's journey has been marked by both personal and professional challenges, but he has overcome adversity to become one of the most respected coaches in college basketball.

Early Struggles and Redemption

In 1993, Hurley made a life-changing decision to confront his personal demons. After a tumultuous college career at Seton Hall, he spent his final two seasons as a catalyst for the Pirates.

A Serendipitous Meeting

Hurley's path to coaching began at a chance encounter at a local bar owned by one of his father's friends. There, he met Bob Hurley Sr., the legendary coach who would become his mentor and guide.
