I mean, how gutless is the UW BOT? The Huskies could win the P12 tourney and make a run in the NCAAT, it's not out of the question. They did Hop a favor, who wants all those long flights in the B1G. I think Hop will get another shot at a better spot.
It's a football first school. They don't have a great basketball facility. The area has always been well recruited by Arizona and other schools (UK, Duke, Gonzaga etc). They make the same mistakes over and over again. They need to hire a capable coach who know the local area and can recruit. There is plenty of talent in the Seattle Rotary and Friends of Hoop they just hire the wrong people. Hopkins who I love is an east coast guy. The hired Romar who can't coach at all and only can recruit. They will hire someone with no ties to the area because they have "head coaching experience" and they will move on from him in 4 years. Wash, rinse, repeat
Agree with another poster he would be a great ceo but I am sure he wants another coaching job.
Not a surprise. I believe the AD is fairly new and probably wants his own people as they transition to the B1G. Hopefully Hop has a bunch of money owed to him. Will be a hot commodity as a top assistant at a major college or the NBA. People like everything Hop stands for.
How do you think the team will respond in the Pac 12 tourney? They just beat the 2 seed on their home court handily.
He went 15-17 with Jaden McDaniels, Isaiah Stewart, and Nahz Carter. The offense was mostly terrible during his time there.
Only problem with those kind of comparisons is both guys had more success than Hop.
I assume they have a new AD after Jen Cohen left for USC in 2023. I don't think he gets a P5 job, but I could see possibly a Big East or A10 school giving him a shot which might work out for him.
Have you seen any of their games this season? I really think they win the P12T.
By all reports they're getting Danny Sprinkle from Utah St who is 25-5 in Year 1. Heck of a coach who will crush it with more resources.
He better like late night flying. They have 1 school, Oregon, that is within a thousand miles of them.
Kind of the driving force of the plot
He has plenty of reasons ($3.1 million) to take next year off and then choose a program that’s right for him and his family.
had a lot of NBAers but couldnt make any noise...shudder to think what he might do with even lesser talent
Coaches want to coach. Not sure if he has the year-off luxury opportunity to stay relevant in the business of relationships. Will see…
It took him a couple of years to recover from the wheels completely coming off on that team. Something went seriously wrong that year they looked unstoppable in November but were toast by the end when the PG everyone on here loves got tossed.
Agree with you. Think we are in a better spot moving forward with Red.
I would love for him to come home as an assistant, who knows, maybe an analyst. Killer dude
