Message: [QUOTE="sufan59, post: 4971608, member: 8789"] I think it was a matter of the most senior guy on JB staff would get the job and he happened to be the AHC when JB left. I think had Hopkins had more success during the Boeheim suspension in the 2015-16 season. The pressure on Boeheim to move forward with the original succession plan would’ve been much more significant. I don’t think it was a no for Hopkins after that stretch and he might’ve gotten the job if he had stayed. it’s just that after that stretch as interim HC, the pressure just wasn’t significant enough to go through with the plan at that time. There was a perception prior to him being the interim HC that he was the next great Head College Basketball coach in the game. [/QUOTE]
