Dan Hurley is the head coach of the University of Connecticut men's basketball team in Storrs, Connecticut, a position he has held since being hired on March 22, 2018 as the 19th head coach in program history. Since arriving at UConn, he has restored the Huskies to national prominence, leading the program to NCAA championships in 2023 and 2024 and a national runner-up finish in 2026. His teams also reached three national title games in a four-season span, and UConn's 13 consecutive NCAA Tournament wins from 2023 to 2025 matched the longest streak of the modern era. The Huskies won all 12 tournament games in their back-to-back title seasons by double digits, another NCAA record, and Hurley opened his NCAA Tournament head coaching career with a 20-6 record, a mark tied with some of the best starts in tournament history.
In his first eight seasons at Connecticut, Hurley compiled a 199-75 overall record and went 86-30 in BIG EAST play. UConn improved steadily under his direction, posting the program's first winning season in four years in 2019-20, returning to the NCAA Tournament in 2020-21, and then beginning a run of six straight tournament appearances. From 2022-23 through 2025-26, the Huskies went 126-28, reached three Final Fours in four seasons, and produced one of the most successful multi-year stretches in school history. His 86-30 start in BIG EAST games gave him the best winning percentage in conference history among coaches with at least 100 league games, and he became one of only two coaches to win at least 10 conference games in each of his first six BIG EAST seasons.
