Message: [QUOTE="MiniCuse, post: 2149320, member: 175"] Hopkins is a seasoned veteran with NCAA, Olympic and international experience working with veteran coaches like JB, Coach K, Tom Thibodeau, and Monty Williams. He's coached at a much higher level than Griffin. He's coached some of the most talented players in the world. I liked Griffin as a player. I like bringing him home to coach on the Hill and I wish nothing but success for him and SU basketball. His coaching resume is decent and he has been successful, but his experience doesn't stack up to Hopkin's experience. Coaching and recruiting at Dayton is not comparable to years of Big East, ACC and USA basketball coaching experience. There were no candidates for this job that have Mike's resume. Hence, any hire is a downgrade. Your "guess" about why JB hired him is agenda-driven. Griffin is a good hire. [/QUOTE]
