Dan Hurley, head coach of UConn Men's Basketball, has officially signed a six-year, $50 million contract extension with the university, per the school. The new deal, which includes performance-based incentives and a $1 million annual retention bonus, will keep Hurley with UConn through the 2029-30 season. Hurley, who has led the Huskies to back-to-back national championships, reportedly turned down a six-year, $70 million offer from the Los Angeles Lakers to remain with UConn. The contract details include annual compensation that increases each year, starting at $7.8 million in 2024-25 and reaching $8.8 million in the final year. Hurley's decision to stay is seen as a significant commitment to the program as they aim for a historic three-peat in national championships.
