Before his coaching career, Hurley was a standout player at Duke University, where he played under legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski. As a senior, Hurley was a unanimous first-team All-America selection, a testament to his exceptional skills on the court. He played a pivotal role in leading the Duke Blue Devils to back-to-back national championships in 1991 and 1992, solidifying his place in college basketball history. Hurley’s ability to distribute the ball and control the game earned him the distinction of being the all-time leader in assists in NCAA basketball, a record that still stands today.
Hurley’s professional playing career began when he was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the 1993 NBA Draft. Unfortunately, his time in the NBA was cut short due to a near-fatal car accident in 1993, which significantly impacted his playing ability. Despite this setback, Hurley played for the Kings and later the Vancouver Grizzlies until 1999. His resilience and determination to return to the court after such a life-altering event are a testament to his character and love for the game.
After retiring from professional basketball, Hurley transitioned into coaching, where he has continued to make a significant impact. His coaching philosophy emphasizes discipline, teamwork, and a strong work ethic, values that have helped him build successful programs at both Buffalo and Arizona State. Hurley’s journey from a college basketball star to a respected coach is a story of perseverance and passion for the sport, making him a highly sought-after figure in the basketball community.
