This Saturday, ESPN’s “E:60” takes an intimate look at the life of Dan Hurley, a basketball coach striving to carve his own path in a family synonymous with hoops. While he chases a third consecutive national championship, this episode explores the man behind the wins, the journey of “The Other Hurley.”
Reported by Jeremy Schaap, the piece examines Hurley’s coaching style and delves into its roots, tracing the impact of growing up in the shadow of his renowned father, Bob Hurley Sr., a Hall of Fame high school coach, and his older brother, Bobby, a two-time national champion at Duke. Dan was always the “other” Hurley, never quite escaping the comparisons.
But the story goes deeper than basketball. “E:60” explores Dan’s personal struggles with mental health, including the panic attacks he has openly discussed. This isn’t just a story about basketball; it’s a story about family, expectations, and the courage to confront personal demons. Tune in to ESPN this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. for a candid look at Dan Hurley’s journey from “The Other Hurley” to a coaching force in his own right.
