With all the rumors about his potential deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dan Hurley has become one of the most talked-about figures in sports circles lately.
Even those who didn’t follow his college career now have something to say about the renowned coach.
He might be getting a glimpse of what it’s like to coach one of the most popular teams in all of sports, as the fans and media are now following his every step.
That includes his latest appearance at Billy Joel’s concert at Madison Square Garden (via Evan Rodriguez).

When most people thought the Lakers were ready to make a run at former NBA player JJ Redick to be their coach, Adrian Wojnarowski shocked the world with a report of them going after Hurley instead.
He’s led the UConn Huskies to back-to-back NCAA championships, excelling with his offensive concepts and player development.
Of course, it’s not the same when you make the transition to the pros, but he’s been quite vocal about his desire to coach in the NBA at some point in his career.
The Lakers will reportedly offer him close to $100 million to be their coach, and they want him to lead them into the future and the post-LeBron James era.
Still, the team has had seven different head coaches in the past 13 years, with none of them making it to a third season.
That should also be a factor in his decision.
In the meantime, he’ll just sit and relax while listening to The Piano Man.
