Amid a major shake up in college basketball, Dan Hurley reassured UConn fans that he is not going anywhere any time soon, and they may have his wife to thank for that.

"On the flight home tomorrow we'll start talking about what the roster is going to look like. Obviously, we graduate some players. We're going to lose a couple potentially to the NBA early entry," he told reporters Monday night. 

"We're going to dive in and put together a roster that can play a comparable level of basketball to the one that you guys have witnessed the last two years. That’s what I know our mindset will be. We’re gonna be focusing on trying to put together a three-year run, not just a two-year run." 

Hurley’s success at UConn became a topic of discussion after John Calipari reportedly took a job as Arkansas’ new head coach following Kentucky’s early exit from the NCAA tournament.
