Comment on Plaschke: Dan Hurley rejection is another humiliation for Lakers brand
David_Eight@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIDK, this whole article seems to be based on conjecture to me. Maybe Hurley and his family like living in Connecticut, maybe he just prefers coaching college, maybe he just did the interview to get more money out of UCONN. It’d be embarrassing if he signed with anither NBA team but he stayed where he was.
People always overreact with the Lakers. People’s opinion on Palinka change with the wind. He’s done a decent job overall IMO.

I think he wants to have input on roster construction. In college he recruits and picks the players who comes to play for him. In NBA it’s the GM who does this.

He’s wants input or he wants to be the GM, there’s an important difference there. A coach having input is normal, a coach wanting to be the GM or having final say isn’t. If it’s the latter then it’s just not a good fit for either side.
