Overview
- UConn announced Friday that it signed coach Dan Hurley to a two-year extension that keeps him under contract through the 2031-32 season.
- The school said the deal keeps Hurley’s annual pay at about $8 million and was added under the terms of his 2024 six-year, $50 million contract.
- Hurley has rebuilt UConn into a national power with a 199-75 record, consecutive NCAA titles in 2023 and 2024, and three Final Four appearances in four seasons.
- The extension follows reported NBA interest, including Hurley’s past meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers, and was framed by UConn athletics officials as a move to protect continuity.
- The deal arrives days before UConn’s Nov. 2 season opener and, if Hurley completes it, would extend his tenure to 14 straight seasons and reinforce the program’s long-term plan.
