Where do his kids call home?He may still have family in Syracuse, but remember he is a West Coast guy originally and has blood family there. That plus success at Washington will keep him there.
Everyone is so obsessed with climate around here. That’s maybe a factor for why your average person moves to a new city or state. But these are high level, high-profile basketball coaches who want to win. Their reasons for changing jobs are extremely different than your average joe.
And there lies the key...Mrs. Hop is liking it out West...

WOW that article gave me chills. I am a geologist so I understand the implications. I live pretty far inland in Medford so at least no worries about the wave. A BIG ONE like that will cause a lot of death and damage. I have only been thru a 5.5 and that was pretty loud like a train and I cannot imagine a 9 !!!! I checked into earthquake insurance and it was fairly reasonable but I did not get it, maybe I will look into againSomeone slip this in her email: The Earthquake That Will Devastate the Pacific Northwest

Maybe. Seems to have worked out well for both principals.This is, perhaps, one more way the NCAA hurt us. By deciding the appeal in such a way that the JB suspension was effective immediately, with no warning, and right before some big rivalry games, they put Hop in the worst possible situation for his debut. If he and the team had more time to prepare, and the results were different, would things have turned out differently?

I have no idea why you and others believe this so strongly. You could be right, but there are certainly other options.This will be Gerry’s team. I’d be shocked otherwise. Better chance Hopkins jumps to UCLA when Alford flames out
Gosh i hope so.I have no idea why you and others believe this so strongly. You could be right, but there are certainly other options.

We will, after Hop says noHow about when the time comes we have a national coaching search like the elite program we are?
What is the infatuation with Gmac? He is the least qualified of our assistants and arguably the weakest recruiter. If they name a current assistant to succeed JB it better be Red or Griff.I could see him returning once Boeheim retires but at that point I'd prefer someone younger. Can't see him turning down his Alma mater... But at this point I'd rather just groom GMac as next HC
Others who know Hop better can speak to this. But I cannot take too seriously that his performance in that brief period and any over-the-top reaction to same from the fanbase had any real effect on his decision.
I suspect bigger issues came into play.
