University of Connecticut men’s basketball head coach Dan Hurley is all business — even when he’s getting a call from the president of the United States. 

Hurley’s Huskies won the NCAA Tournament earlier this month after defeating San Diego State in Houston, and normally that means that a White House invitation would be coming soon. 

But when it did, Hurley ignored the call.

"It doesn’t come up on your caller ID like Joe Biden," Hurley told The Athletic. "I just assumed when the president calls, it would be someone interrupting your call saying, ‘The president is on the line.’"

Hurley was instead on a call with a possible recruit to UConn when he saw the Washington D.C. 202 area code. He didn’t think anything of it. 

"I got a voicemail," Hurley added.

It’s unknown if the Huskies will be accepting Biden’s invite to the White House.

The invitation to the LSU women Tigers was a controversial topic following their victory over the University of Iowa in the title game. First lady Jill Biden noted that she was going to tell president Biden to invite both LSU and Iowa, which rubbed one of the Tigers’ star players the wrong way.
