I also think that in all likelihood, he probably going to be a very good coach and possibly a great one. However, the ruthless fan in me knows that there are some coaches who we already KNOW are great or even hall of fame level and we might well be able to bring one to the program. In order to lose Hopkins, I'd have to get a coach at THAT level, and even then I'd feel torn. Here's the level of guys I'd be willing to consider and that we might have a shot at and we'd probably have to shell out BIG time bucks: DEFINITELY: Pitino Donovan Brad Stevens (who knows what happens in 3 years) Tony Bennett MAYBE: Shaka Smart, Mark Few Gregg Marshall And that's about it [/QUOTE]
