This week we are extremely excited to welcome UConn men’s head basketball coach Dan Hurley to the show! JJ and Tommy open the show breaking down what LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers need to do to in order to upset Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets in the 2-7 matchup in the first round. Then, Hurley joins to share what he’s learned from winning back-to-back NCAA national championships, who some of his biggest coaching influences are, and the legacy basketball family he grew up in with his dad, Bob Hurley (Hall of Fame coach) and Bobby Hurley (former Duke point guard, lottery pick, and ASU head coach). Hurley also shares what intangible characteristics he looks for in recruits, the teams and leagues his UConn offense is inspired by, and so much more. Let’s go!
