Kudos to Mike Hopkins & his unit

[Orangeyes]

He has them playing like he once did.

Rak's attitude has been great and his play inspired.

Baye ignites this team with his defense, hustle and fire.

Coleman has been a big cheerleader on the bench.

Well done Mike!!

I was thinking of him yesterday, hoping that he sticks around long enough to take the helm. He's something special and together with JB they are clearly an extraordinary recruiting/coaching team. We need him to be JB's successor.

I'm going to bite my tongue on this one, but you need to proofread your thread titles better, Dan.

But, but Hop doesn't know how to be a big man coach!!!

Rak's been great, I wish he would get more touches on offense, but something has seemed to click for him. He's going to be a force.

Whether or not it's time to call him good in that role yet, before he can be the big boss, he's got to be to be Bernie for awhile. It reminds me in a way of the final film of one of my favorite athletes/human beings, Bruce Lee, entitled Game of Death. Like in video games, he has get to the 5th floor of a Pagoda with a different challenge on each floor, before facing the big boss Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the top floor. Bernie was the bigs coach as the long time #2, so it would be fitting that Hop do well in that role before he stands on top of the mountain. We've definitely seen signs he's on the right track with the bigs lately.

Speaking of bigs, here is the scene with Kareem vs Bruce Lee

(Title) Was this a quote from his wife? I'm confused.

Just imagine the thread title if Bernie was still the bigs' coach.

OT but maybe Bruce Lee at his best in this movie.

At least he didn't include 'touches down low' in it.

Rak looked like he was able to man handle UNC bigs. We dominated in rebounding when it mattered.

You mean he who's name that will no longer be mentioned.
