Another top college basketball program could soon have a Hurley leading the way.

The University of Connecticut is homing in on Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley, according to multiple local reports, just over a week after firing six-year head coach Kevin Ollie. If the deal materializes, Hurley would be following in the footsteps of brother Bobby, who now coaches at Arizona State after beginning his coaching career at a couple of mid-majors.

Dan Hurley’s name had surfaced as a top option for a number of college coaching vacancies after he led the Rams to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance this year. Before 2017, Rhode Island had not been to the Tournament since 1999. In Hurley’s sixth season as head coach, the team earned a seventh seed and defeated Oklahoma in the first round, but again failed to make it past the second round in losing to No. 2 Duke.

Hurley hails from an iconic New Jersey basketball family, led by his father, Bob, who became a legend as the coach of Jersey City’s St. Anthony High School. Dan and Bobby Hurley played under their father at the school before transitioning into college, with Dan playing at Seton Hall and Bobby winning two national championships at Duke — and spending five seasons in the NBA with the Kings.

The UConn opening has come under contention after Ollie announced he would fight the program’s reason for firing him, which the school said was for “just cause” due to the NCAA’s current investigation into the program’s conduct. The details of the inquiry remain unclear, though UConn athletic director David Benedict called Ollie’s forced exit “necessary.”

Ollie signed a five-year, multi-million dollar contract extension in 2014, the same year he led the Huskies to an NCAA championship.
