With the recent departure of head coach Tom Thibodeau from the New York Knicks, the question arises: will Dan Hurley from UConn consider jumping to the NBA? A year ago, rumors linked Hurley to the Lakers, only for him to stay with the Huskies after a successful stint. However, following a mediocre season at UConn, where they exited in the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Florida, Hurley’s name is back in the mix.

On a recent episode of The Herd, analyst John Fanta discussed Hurley’s potential fit with the Knicks, sharing insights on how while the buzz is present, momentum may not build as it did before with the Lakers.

Additionally, the conversation has shifted to Jay Wright, another respected coach with strong ties to the Knicks, given the presence of three former Villanova players on their roster. However, Fanta expressed skepticism about Wright’s desire to return to coaching, stating he seems content with his current role as a basketball analyst.

Overall, neither coach appears to be an immediate solution for the Knicks, but their backgrounds and current situations make for interesting speculation as the team navigates its future.
