Amid rumors swirling around who will become the Los Angeles Lakers’ new head coach, UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma has appeared to play favorites.
Auriemma appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Thursday morning and was asked for his reaction to Adrian Wojnarowski's shocking Lakers-Dan Hurley report. The decorated Huskies coach shared a chance conversation he had with Hurley on Wednesday night, taking a subtle dig at Lakers coaching candidate JJ Redick in the process.
“I happened to be at a thing with [Dan Hurley] last night,” Auriemma said. “I have no idea what’s going on, you know, I have no idea where this is going or what’s happening, but I just leaned over and said, ‘Hey, I think you could win a lot of championships with the Lakers, more so than a guy who’s never coached.’”
