"I mean, shoot, two really good options," Clark replied. "I really admire [Hurley]. I love his intensity. I think the way he coaches the game is amazing. The way he coaches his players is amazing and holds them accountable. He really gets the most out of them.

"I've really loved watching them over the course the last couple of years, and I think it's cool he's staying in college basketball," she continued. "I think he really loves it and I think he loves being around those young men and, obviously, he makes them great. I've been a big fan of his and big fan of his program, and they've been fun to watch," she added.
