Dan Hurley earns respect from Chris Paul, possible candidate for Lakers coaching position – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly looking at University of Connecticut coach Dan Hurley for their head coaching position. Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul shared his admiration for Hurley’s coaching style, particularly his ability to communicate effectively with his players. Paul expressed his respect for Hurley and noted how players respond positively to him during games.

In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Paul mentioned Hurley’s coaching skills and predicted that Hurley would earn the respect of the Lakers players if he were to become their head coach. Hurley recently led UConn to their second consecutive NCAA D-I National Championship, turning the struggling program around and guiding them to glory.

After taking over a struggling UConn team that had missed the NCAA Men’s Tournament for two years, Hurley led them to a championship victory. The Lakers are hoping that Hurley can bring the same success to their team and lead them to the NBA Finals, ending their playoff drought since the 2020 season.
