UConn Huskies men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley is adding more accolades to his resume. After suffering a painful 77-75 loss to the Florida Gators in the 2025 NCAA tournament, which ruined Hurley’s plans to lead the Huskies to back-to-back-to-back championships, the veteran coach is set to return to the action with a renewed squad.
That won’t be the only venture Hurley will embark on this fall. Hurley wants to pass along some knowledge to those looking to excel at coaching or any other activity in life.
Hurley will have a 30-year coaching career in 2026 after he started as an assistant at St. Anthony High School. After stints with Rutgers, Wagner and Rhode Island, he secured the UConn job in 2018.

All that experience has allowed Hurley to become a proven winner in a competition where winning becomes more complicated every year. The coach shared a video announcing his upcoming book, “Never Stop,” which he hopes can help people learn from his experiences.

“I’m really excited about something that’s gonna happen in the fall,” Coach Hurley said. “I’m going to be launching this project that’s been a labor of love for me for the last year, partnering up with an incredible author in Ian O’Connor to produce this book that I think a lot of people are going to enjoy: the leadership lessons, the life story, and the honesty of what it’s taken in my basketball life journey to get here.”
The Huskies have unfinished business after their 2025 second-round loss, and Hurley is ready to take them back to the top of college basketball again this season.
