Hopkins isn't taking over for Jim - haven't you heard?  When Jim steps in, Julie is taking over until her oldest son is ready... keeping it in the family.

Seriously though, I want Mike to be the next head coach because he has more than put in his time.  He has clearly demonstrated a high level of loyalty to the program and he is an excellent recruiter.  I am unable to speak about his coaching ability simply because I have very little to go on.  I also really like keeping it in the family (as does Duke).  Not many programs do this (or are able to).

With that being said, if I had to be 100% honest, I would tell you that I would have more confidence bringing in Jay Wright.  He is a class guy, players seem to really respond to him, and is a solid coach and recruiter.  He is a known entity and would represent our program very well in many ways.  I can't believe I'm saying all of this because I really do want Hopkins, but there are some question marks.
