Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 2133213, member: 156"] Boeheim unintentionally "forced" Hopkins out by making it very obvious that he does not want to stop coaching. Hop didn't want to take the job from his mentor and father-figure when he wasn't truly ready to hand it over. Hop has always been looking for a good HC position and knew all along he could be picky. If this Washington offer hadn't come along Hop would have reluctantly accepted the SU position. How do you hire a coach who won't take over as the head coach until 2018-19? Has that ever happened? Would the new coach come in and sit next to JB for the entire season? Would he coach elsewhere for one more year then take over after the season? Seems awkward. [/QUOTE]
