Dan Hurley is a very smart man for turning down the Los Angeles Lakers job offer because it’s not all about the money not even 6 years and $70 million.
I love the story of Albany Academy product Andre Jackson being in the Final Four with UConn. There is nothing I love more than localizing a national story.
Winning a collegiate national championship takes high level preparation. That's why host cities like Albany, New York jump through hoops, literally, to roll-out the red carpet for the visiting teams, trying to think of everything that the host can to make their visit easier. That's why the NCAA continues to bring premier championships back to the Capital Region.
Albany operates NCAA Tournaments very well. Whether it's men's or women's basketball, wrestling or hockey; the city, the county, the businesses and the fanbase all support the event with enthusiasm. From parking to fan-fest on a chilly weekend, a true team effort is always on display.
