You're right about one thing -- Wildhack will handle this comprehensively. And as someone who understands advanced metrics, he'll do a better job evaluating Hopkins's performance -- or lack thereof -- at UW beyond "he's an institutional fit." He'll dig into analysis similar to the one presented in that article, and come to the conclusion that Hopkins tenure at UW is ugly, and disqualifies him from contention. And when that happens, I'm sure that there will be plenty of posters who pound their chests about his recruiting chops, and apply all types of subjective rationalization for why Hop would kill it here "...if only he could hire John Beilien to be his bench coach," all of which will run contradictory to the mountain of quantitative, objective data that indicates that he's potentially one of the least effective coaches at the P5 level.
I'm not anti-anyone -- I'm just being intellectually honest about the quality of the in-house candidates, something you and several others appear congenitally incapable of doing.
Because if we hire Hopkins we'll be signing up for the same level of incredibly bad offensive showcased at UW. And I'm tired of rock fights and one-dimensional play. I want lead guards who push the ball in transition and generate easy scoring opportunities. I want a faster tempo. It really isn't about zone defense at all -- which is another thing the pro-Hopkins crowd is obtusely intellectually dishonest about.
The reality is, by any subjective measurement, Hopkins has done exceedingly poorly the last three years. And it isn't just W/L data that supports that. Hiring him would be a massive, massive mistake -- just like it would have been promoting him to HC years ago, if we'd stuck to the plan.
We'd be seeing much of the same issues / dysfunction that we're seeing at UW -- why? Because he isn't that good of a coach. He's a terrific assistant coach, though. The peter principle applies here.
