I think it’s like anything in life. It’s connections.

They hear Hopkins in the running and they love him (for good reasons he was an awesome associate here). Naturally, you root for that guy. If anyone here had a great connection with a candidate, you would be pulling for that guy.

I agree wholeheartedly that some basketball alumni don’t have necessarily the best interest of the program itself in mind. And it’s not entirely their fault, they are tainted by there positive experiences with the program.

It sometimes helps to have/know less in the sense that it makes you more logical. The decision makers need to realize that.

Basketball alumni and the cny bubble are extremely biased, connected, and knowledgeable about the past. People mistake that with logic or expertise about the future. When you’ve had a program be incoherently awful for nearly a decade, it’s time to rip off the band-aid.

Basketball alumni have already been wrong once, I hope (and feel confidently) that they won’t be allowed to be wrong twice.
