Christian Laettner Reminisces About the Very First Time He Met Dan Hurley | The Rich Eisen Show

I don't know if you met the entire Hurley family when you went to college together, but do you remember meeting Dan, who is now sitting next to the college basketball world as the coach of the defending champion Yukon Huskies, who come as the number one overall to repeat again Christian yeah and I met Danny Hurley for sure and it didn't go

very

well the

first

time

because what happened what Christian well I think Bobby was I don't know if Bobby was a freshman or a sophomore but Danny came to visit him. I don't know if it was an official visit, like in terms of basketball, for Danny to come to school at Duke, but I think he just visited his older brother and, um, it was my sophomore year. or my junior year and Danny came over for the weekend and he had too much bravado and too much arrogance and I could have put him in his place a little bit and what do you mean?

Come on, now, what happened? What happened? Well, you know, I think Bobby made him like our team dinner after practice. One night, it might have been like a Friday night, we had practice and then right after practice we went to dinner at our team facility and, uh, when Danny walked. In I just made fun of him and he didn't catch my sarcasm and I said something to Danny like you're not welcome here and uh, it didn't come out

very

well, but I was just joking with him, wow, so he came to you? Did you go chest to chest or something?

I guess nose to chest Christian, he could have come up to me and I just said, "I'm just kidding you" and he didn't believe me and then he went and told Bobby and uh. oh, Bobby came over, Bobby came out in the hallway and said, stop being an idiot, but you know, I'm impressed with the job that Danny Hurley does, honestly what impresses me most is that he gets to keep some of his kids. to stay in Yukon, you have senior junior leadership and man, that Hurley family, starting with Bobby senior, they are very, very good coaches, very good basketball family, catch the
