I thought for sure they would win the PAC 12 tournament.

IF YOU WATCHED THEM PLAY AND LOOKED AT THEIR TALENT, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD.

 

[Cheriehoop]

I think his next stop will be as an NBA assistant as well and we will be very well received there. Players coach and will fit in very well.

He almost left for Cleveland Cavaliers a few decades ago.

He's been Washington's AD since October 9, 2023. Barely 5 months. That sucks for Hop.

So does Hop get his job back since the guy who fired him likely hasn't even unpacked everything in his office yet?

This may seem an inopportune moment to ask, Dean Wormer, but do you think you could see your way clear to giving me just one more chance?

 

[miamicuse]

Damn that's even quicker then Mark Coyle.
May be Mike can be the new AD!

I was thinking the same thing. Why not?

That's about two Scaramuchis.

Not saying Hop shouldn’t be let go, but imagine having the balls to come in, fire someone, then leave. Absolutely awful.

I just don’t see Hop wanting to be away from his family for the length of time required by a job in the NBA. I see him resurfacing at a University somewhere.

 

[miamicuse]

Did they hire a new BB coach yet?

 

[Cheriehoop]

His kids should be out of college or close to it. His dad sadly passed away last year.

His family is all grown up now

And his wife is from Syracuse?

No new coach has been hired.

Utah St HC Danny Sprinkle is the rumored leading candidate. However, I don't think any coach would want to accept the job until an AD is hired so they know who they are working for.

Coyle always said that records are made to be broken.

Maybe because Hop is such a nice guy they hired him just to fire Hop knowing he’d just move along and nobody had to be the bad guy. Would be some good Curb Your Enthusiasm material in there.

It’s crazy that Hop has been there for 7 years! Where does the time go? Feel bad for him. But I’m sure he’ll land on his feet somewhere.

I am pretty sure a major reason why he went there was also to be close to his father. I could see him staying in that neck of the woods for a while. Seems like a family guy and money is likely no issue for him.

His dad sadly passed away last year but his mother is still alive, I believe.

Grant has BC playing well. I believe they will beat Virginia today. They are so much better to watch offensively than SU. They play with a purpose every time down the floor. I still don’t understand what SU is trying to do except Judah and Copeland going one on one every time they touch it. It’s ugly basketball that won’t win consistently. It’s unwatchable at times.

Well, if rumors are to be believed, that's not the offense they were coached to run... and hence a big part of why they are both out the door.
