From above article:
…
5. Dan Hurley is a modern coach in every sense
The Lakers entered the 2024 coaching search with the need to find a head coach who fit the modern era. That has multiple meanings, as it applies to a coach’s ability to connect with the new generation of athletes and their adaptability to the changing styles of play in the Association.
4. Donovan Clingan and what he could mean for Anthony Davis
The Lakers have an All-NBA Second Team and All-Defensive First Team honoree leading the team into the future. That’s a great place to be, especially when one considers how consistently great Davis has been in the postseason individually.
3. Dan Hurley is an offensive mastermind
Watching the UConn Huskies run their offense is one of the most enjoyable experiences in sports. All five players are in constant motion and the ball never seems to stop moving until the best possible shot can be attempted by one of the countless shooters on the floor.
2. Dan Hurley thrives on defense
The UConn Huskies reached the height of college basketball excellence by thriving on both ends of the floor. It’s an unmistakably tall task, as managing to be elite on offense or defense is a rare feat, let alone in both regards.
1. Dan Hurley is a winner
Current Connecticut Huskies head coach and potential Los Angeles Lakers leader Dan Hurley is the epitome of a winner. An assistant between 1996 and 2001, and a head coach over the past 23 years, Hurley has been a positive influence for decades on end.

Impressive candidate for sure. I have to give Jeanie and Rob credit for coming up with not just one but two excellent candidates with the vision to become the next great Lakers coach. And they did it under cover and ended up with two guys with zero historical connection to the Lakers network. There are the kinds of options the Lakers deserve. Bravo!
