Never would have worked with LeBron there. Would have been a nightmare for Hurley.
I disagree. LeBron won’t play forever and letting him construct the team in return for his open praise of the coaching job he is doing would have given Hurley the leeway to weather the coming post-Lebron rebuild.
I honestly think you’re a fool if you turn down the Lakers job whether LeBron is there or not.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

A college coach turned down $12M a year from the Lakers to stay in Hartford and coach UCONN.
Good on him, but damn.
It's a blue blood program and arguably the top program in the country right now. I don't think Hurley's decision is as surprising as some are making it sound. Coach K turned down the Lakers as well. For similar reasons.
