I used to follow this writer, Max Vrooman (lol), from the Washington Huskies fan site regularly during Hop’s tenure there. He’s very adept with analytics and data, and he became highly critical of Hop as the years went on. The data is horrendous on Hop as a head coach. Everyone should read these posts, but a few choice quotes:

“My model had the Huskies projected for an adjusted efficiency margin of +16.6 this year which would’ve been the best team of the Mike Hopkins era. That’s because on paper this roster had the most talent of any Hop team, even the one that made the NCAA tournament….Washington would’ve been even higher if not for that pesky little problem of Mike Hopkins being the coach. Hopkins entered the year with the lowest coaching grade in my system of any P6 coach that had more than 2 years experience….That would’ve been good for 57th among P6 schools…Yet as has almost always been the case during the Mike Hopkins era, Washington ended up worse than even the full coaching adjustment would’ve suggested. The Huskies finished with an aEM of +13.0 and ranked 48th among P6 schools (and 60th including mid-majors). That cemented that Hopkins would finish with a negative coaching grade in all 7 of his season with the Huskies.”
