UConn Coach Dan Hurley Extends Contract Through 2032
UConn's head coach Dan Hurley has signed a two-year contract extension, ensuring his position through the 2031-32 season, as announced by the university on Friday.
This extension maintains Hurley's annual salary at around $8 million. He previously signed a deal after leading the Huskies to back-to-back national championships in 2024, turning down an offer from the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. This agreement ranks him as the second-highest paid coach in college basketball.
UConn's athletic director expressed excitement about Hurley's continued leadership, highlighting his success and the importance of stability in the current landscape of college sports. The Huskies, currently ranked fourth, are set to begin their season against Gardner-Webb on Monday. Hurley has revitalized the UConn program, achieving a record of 199-75 and making significant tournament appearances.
