Outside of Syracuse, I wonder how much college basketball Melo watched this year?    I mean, he is the expert making the coaching hire, so I imagine he has gone through hours of tape and watched all the up-and-coming coaches to give Syracuse the best coaching hire he could.   He can tell me what kind of offensive and defensive systems everyone runs etc.  I am sure he has done this homework.

And his homework led him to Hopkins, a coach who was fired from his P4 job with a .527 winning percentage and the tournament only once in 6 years despite multiple NBA players on his roster.  That coach was so heavily thought of in the college ranks, he didn't get another job, so he went to be an assistant NBA coach where that NBA team was awful and then was let go from that position and now is in charge of player development for a losing team.   After doing a national search, Melo said yes man, that is the guy for sure to lead Syracuse. I know it.
