Dan Hurley preferred Rutgers, felt like a second choice

UConn coach Dan Hurley revealed that he preferred to play for Rutgers instead of Seton Hall during his college years. He felt like a "consolation prize" after his brother Bobby chose Duke, which added pressure to his decision. Bobby Hurley initially planned to attend Seton Hall with friends but was swayed by a visit to Duke, leading to his commitment there. This decision changed the dynamics for Dan, who later coached briefly at Rutgers. Dan Hurley has since achieved success at UConn, winning two NCAA championships. His team recently lost in the Big East Tournament semifinals but remains hopeful for the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
