Message: [QUOTE="JoeyZ, post: 2132609, member: 1642"] Between his contributions as a player and all that he brought as an assistant coach, you can make the case that Hop deserves to be in the discussion for the hypothetical Syracuse Mount Rushmore. 4 gritty years as a player and then 4 Final Fours as an assistant. I know that it's tough to compare that to a Dave Bing, Derrick Coleman, Carmelo, Pearl, or GMac, but I think his contributions to the University will be understated by most if not all when all is said and done. The Program and our fan experience was much better for the better part of a quarter century because of Mike Hopkins, and I wish him the best of luck. [/QUOTE]
