Hurley Jokes He Can't Take Kentucky Job, Would Move Wife Too Far Away

Fresh off of winning back-to-back NCAA titles with UConn, head coach Dan Hurley has shut down rumors linking him to the Kentucky basketball job.

When asked directly if he would consider the Kentucky job, Hurley responded with a resounding "No way." He added that one reason he couldn't take the job is because it would move his wife further away from New Jersey.

Hurley also joked that he couldn't take the Kentucky job because it would be "too far from the Jersey Shore." He added that he's "not a big fan of bourbon," a staple of Kentucky culture.

Hurley's comments come shortly after his team's NCAA Tournament victory. When asked about the Kentucky job rumors, Hurley gave an honest answer, saying that he's not interested in leaving UConn.

Hurley was also asked if he would entertain conversations with any other schools that might have coaching openings. He laughed at the idea, saying that he's "not going anywhere."
