PITTSBURGH — With the news that Tom Crean was finalizing a deal to become Georgia’s next head coach, one option was taken off the table for UConn on Thursday.

Rhode Island’s Danny Hurley and former Ohio State coach Thad Matta are among the top coaching candidates UConn athletic director David Benedict has contacted since the firing of Kevin Ollie, according to the New Haven Register.

South Carolina’s Frank Martin has also been mentioned but a source told ZAGSBLOG Martin is likely out of the mix at UConn.

“He’s not expected to be a finalist,” the source said.
