Daniel S. Hurley (born January 16, 1973) is an American college basketball coach who is the head coach of the UConn Huskies men's team at the University of Connecticut. In 2023, Hurley led UConn to an NCAA Championship. Early life and education
Hurley was born to Hall of Fame high school coach Bob Hurley Sr. and Christine Hurley on January 16, 1973 in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he was raised with his siblings Bobby and Melissa. His brother is a former Duke and Sacramento Kings guard and the current head coach at Arizona State University. Hurley was a basketball star at St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, where his father was the longtime coach. He lead the team to a 31-1 record and a No. 2 national ranking as a senior. He played five years of college basketball, including a redshirt year, at Seton Hall. During his first three seasons, his head coach was P. J. Carlesimo. Career 
Hurley was head coach of Saint Benedict's Preparatory School (2001-2010), where he is credited with building the New Jersey school into one of the top high school basketball programs in America. He was the head coach at Wagner College for two years (2010-2012), where he set the school single-season win-loss record at 25-6 during the 2011-2012 season. He was then head coach at the University of Rhode Island for six years (2012-2018), bringing the team to the 2017 and 2018 NCAA tournaments, the first times since 1999. Hurley turned down a long-term offer from Rhode Island in order to lead the University of Connecticut Huskies. From 2010 to 2013, his brother Bobby was one of his assistant coaches at both Rhode Island and Wagner. He was named head coach of UConn on March 22, 2018. In 2021 he returned the Huskies to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2016, then again in 2022, losing in the first round both times. He won the NCAA championship with the Huskies in 2023. In June 2023, he agreed to a six year contract extension with UConn worth $32.1M. Personal life 
He married Andrea Sirikides in 1997. They met while they were both students at Seton Hall. They have two sons: Danny (born July, 1999) and Andrew (born January 30, 2002). Danny graduated from Seton Hall in 2021. As of 2023 Andrew attends the University of Connecticut, where he was on his father's 2023 NCAA championship team. On September 6, 2019, he had surgery to replace two disks in his neck with artificial ones. Doctors told Hurley the condition was part hereditary and part the result of years of wear and tear associated with being a life-long athlete. He returned to work less than two weeks after surgery.
