Dan Hurley joked that he can't take the Kentucky job as it would move his wife further away from New Jersey, becoming the latest coach to deny interest.
Dan Hurley made his future at UConn clear following Monday's national title game win: If Kentucky wants him, it will have to drag him and his wife, Andrea, out of Storrs, CT. The UConn coach dismissed any possible interest in the Kentucky job after the Huskies became the first program to win back-to-back titles in 17 years, citing his wife as a reason why he won't make the move.
Arkansas' hiring of Calipari hasn't become official as of Tuesday morning, but the news swept the college basketball world in the leadup to UConn's win over Purdue. Alabama coach Nate Oats, who was one of the first heavily speculated candidates to replace Calipari alongside Hurley, denied any interest in the Kentucky job on Monday. 'I am fully committed to this team and to this University,' Oats wrote in a statement.
