Syracuse's decision to name a HCIW had nothing to do with Hop and had everything to do with what the university, at the time, thought was in the best interests of the program.

If the university had thought otherwise, it never would have happened.

And if Hop had followed Boeheim, and was not as successful as the school wanted him to be, it would not hesitate to get rid of him.

The university does what is in its best interests - as it should,  If that also happened to be good for Hop - great.  If not, Oh well.

So to expect any type of "loyalty" from Hop because of what the university did for Hop is a misguided notion.

The university did nothing for Hop.  It did what it thought was best for itself and Hop happened to be the beneficiary of it at the time.

And, if you expect any individual to subordinate one's self-interest to that of of the entity that employs him/her, you are, at best, naive...

Trust me, ain't no way the university will ever put Hop's interests above its own...nor should it...

I would never, ever do that.  I wouldn't expect you to and I sure wouldn't expect Hop to...
