Message: [QUOTE="Orange87, post: 2135684, member: 1341"] I don't know why everyone is crying in their Orange beer because we 'lost out' on Hop. We've still got the guy that built OUR program and brought it to national prominence. Right now that's what Hop wants to do, but so does every coach who doesn't have a program like that. And guess what? They are all personable and enthusiastic and optimistic. That's all well & good but WE are the ones with the proven guy. How do you think UConn fans feel about Kevin Ollie these days? Easier to win, not so easy to sustain. Our guy wins AND sustains. I wish Hop all the best. And if he does well and SU is looking for a coach in 5 years or so maybe he becomes our Roy Williams to Boeheim's Dean Smith. If not, our nationally prominent, consistently winning program will get another great coach. So be happy for Hop and enjoy Syracuse basketball's present AND future. [/QUOTE]
