UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley has agreed to a new six-year, $50 million contract through the 2029-30 season, the school announced Monday.
Hurley has the opportunity to receive performance incentives throughout the course of the contract.
He receives the deal after turning down an offer from the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers to become their head coach. Sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that Hurley rejected a six-year, $70 million contract offer from the Lakers, who later hired J.J. Redick as coach.
Hurley has led UConn to back-to-back national championships and is 141-58 with the Huskies.
