I'm not the first person to say it, but replacing JB with a man who's been with the program so long might not be the public message one wants to send during the pendency of an NCAA appeal and/or lawsuit.  I'd personally have no problem with it, and I feel pretty confident that there's a continuity message coded into communications with recruits--but I can easily see the appeal of a strategy whereunder we don't openly anoint Hop three years ahead of time.

I don't know what Hop's contract says, nor do I know whether there's a written promise out there (though I doubt it).  Again, as others around here have already said multiple times, there's a process.  The new chancellor has made some bold moves and statements since the sanctions were announced, and he's got to acquire a new AD in the very near future.  That AD probably needs to be on board, and involved, before anyone makes a decision about the next men's basketball head coach.  I don't see the net upside (sorry, SWC) of the school presenting the new AD with a fait accompli on that front.
