Being a fan of her husband's work yet staying away from facing the harsh reality of being a coach partner, Mrs. Hurley felt somewhat incomplete.

The New York Post confirms that this coach WAG's life changed when she met Nicole Kellogg, the better half of Derek Kellogg. The two's husbands were rival coaches when Hurley was at Rhode Island and Mr. Kellogg at UMass.

Danny Hurley Family Life around Basketball

Danny hails from an athletic family where his father and elder brother played basketball.

The clan started with Bob Sr., coach of the now-closed St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, New Jersey.

He won twenty-six state championships throughout his thirty-nine years in the school, where five teams went undefeated. The patriarch gained national attention in 1993 when his eldest son, Bobby, graduated from Duke University as an All-American.

Bobby assisted his younger brother at Rhode Island and Wagner from 2010 to 2013 and now works as the Arizona State Sun Devils head coach.

Known as "The Hurley Factor" and "The Hurley Way," this basketball clan continues to take charge of several notable teams and create history. These sporting bloodline members have been unable to stay away from the sport despite their medical issues. 

In a September 2019 surgery, the UConn mentor had to replace two disks in his neck with artificial ones. The problem was partly hereditary and partly due to his lifelong athlete stance.

Even so, he returned to coaching less than two weeks later, indicating B-ball is in his blood and is willing to pass it down to his kids.

Danny Hurley Is A Father Of Two Children

The former Seton Hall point guard is a happy family man with two children. He and Andrea welcomed their two sons, inclined toward sports and academics.

Their sons, Dan Jr. and Andrew, often appear on their father's Instagram and other social media handles.

They go out on vacations and even voted at the November 2020 U.S. elections, wearing UConn merch. Hence, they all come together when it comes to spending quality time.

Eldest Son Dan Hurley Jr

Daniel Hurley Jr. was named after his father though he did not play basketball.

The 23-year-old is instead working as an aid to Governor Philip D. Murphy as of October 2021.

His placement at the Office of Appointments came right after his graduation in History from Seton Hall University.

Younger Son Andrew Hurley Is A UConn Guard

Unlike his elder brother, the youngest son of his parents, Andrew Robert plays college basketball at UConn under his father.

However, he graduated from East Catholic High School, contrary to his father and brother, who graduated from Seton Hall. This six-feet-one-inch basketball giant is in his junior year and was a part of the team's 2020-21 BIG EAST All-Academic Team.

The establishment runs a free basketball program for third to twelfth-grade students in Jersey City. This family is adamant about the sport and hopes to help other passionate kids.
