Hopkins is a good man, recruiter, and I expect will be an outstanding HC. Expect him to play a variety of defenses and not primarily zone. Was a long term understudy to a HOF coach Boeheim and worked with the Olympic teams with Duke' s coach K as well.

Smart high character guy who will contribute to your community and university in a very positive way. Was expected to be the heir to Boeheim' s tenure at SU until today which saddens and concerns many of us. You got a fine coach that all of us like. Your program just gained an army of fans, though we wear Orange first and foremost.

There has been concern that he's always been the head assistant coach and not a head coach, but many of us expect him to thrive and hope for great success for him.

He's been a lead recruiter for us and worked closely with the players in many capacities for a long time. He could have been a head coach a long time ago but chose to stay here out of friendships and loyalties with and to the SU community and Boeheim.

He's already missed but we expect the move to Washington is good for his family and career. Congratulations to Coach Hopkins and the University of Washington. It'll be good for all of you...
