in 2015-2016 Hopkins coached some games for JB. wikipedia says he went 4-5 and 0-3 in the ACC

[I]this was a team that went to the Final Four[/I] and he couldnt win an ACC game with them.

I was very underwhelmed with how he managed games - I watch closely.

Nothing he's done at UW has changed my mind about not wanting him to be the permanent coach of SU

im really surprised given the plethora of basketball coaches out there who would jump at the SU job that anyone would consider hopkins at this point as a leading candidate or even a desirable one.

this whole bit about experience is overrated imo - JB didnt have experience. Wildhack doesnt have experience hiring a head basketball coach either for what its worth

What does it really take?  its a guess

you can go with experience and be safer - im sure pitino would kill it, for example

but beyond that - anyone without experience could also do well - its just it would be more of an unknown going into it.

experience is a good data point in vetting but ...for me just makes it less likley that whoever does the hiring gets any backlash not that the hire will actually be the best...which shoud=ldnt really be a big factor imo
