Message: [QUOTE="Whitey23, post: 325708, member: 216"] [B][FONT=verdana][COLOR=#333333]Mike Hopkins, [URL='http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/183/syracuse-orange'][COLOR=#608fd6]Syracuse Orange[/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [FONT=verdana][COLOR=#333333]Hopkins is really a head coach who is serving as an assistant to Jim Boeheim. He is smart and an outstanding teacher, and he doesn't miss a detail. As a relationship builder, Hopkins is among the best. He listens, and that is uncommon in any profession. Although Hopkins has been labeled the coach-in-waiting for when Boeheim retires, I am annually surprised that some athletic director (or search firm, nowadays) doesn't grab him. He is that good. Of course, I insist that it wouldn't kill Hopkins to get out in the sun a little bit. One would never know he grew up in Southern California based on his opaque skin. He's the 1st listed.[/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
