Dr. Deborah Stroman joins 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Friday, June 7. With reports of UConn men’s basketball’s Dan Hurley out in Los Angeles to meet with Lakers’ ownership, the pair discuss what a potential move to the NBA might look like for the two-time defending national championship head coach. Stroman shares why she believes the time is now for Hurley to make the jump to professional basketball and why the Lakers’ interest in Hurley does not necessarily mean LeBron James will leave the franchise in free agency this summer. Plus: if Hurley leaves, what (if anything) does that signal for the state of men’s college basketball?
