Easley / Associated Press Luke Murray remembers his first stint at UConn, as a student with vast high school basketball recruiting knowledge, poking about the basketball offices with his buddy, Mark Daigneault, and kicking names around with assistant coaches Tom Moore and Andre LaFleur. Daigneault went on to become the team manager; he’s now the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
