    I'm not taking a pro-Dollar stance, no matter how fun it would be. I just can't fake it for that.

    He has 0 high end for basketball assistant.

    * potential recruiting guy
    * potential HC guy
    * potential anything


    So far he has zero on the scoreboard. For me Hopkins is like Dan Hawkins hiring to CU. Little to nothing on resume, and could be announcing Deaf high school within 5 years and it wouldn't surprise me.

    Silent applause only, please.................

    Agree completely. Hiring a failed head coach who was a former assistant of the failed head coach.

    Makes no sense.
    To be fair, when Dollar was an assistant those were the the best defensive UW teams we've seen and they played with that physical edge. He was a big loss as that style has slowly dissolved since his departure. He's a hard ass and always thought he was better suited as an assistant.

    Sure, he underwhelmed building SU into an elite program from complete scratch, and was likely in over his head. That doesn't mean he can't be a good assistant. Not everyone thrives in that role and I suspect Dollar will be able to embrace his new role and help bring back that discipline the recent teams have sorely lacked.

    I'm not thrilled with the hire, but I don't really care either. He's an assistant basketball coach.
    Agreed. But it still seems weird that Hopkins is scraping up Romar assistants to fill out his staff.
    A guy pining to get a hc job doesn't have a better assistant in mind than dollar???

    That is fucking concerning. That's a panic(forced) hire which is the worst kind of new leash. It's not about giving Hopkins area, it's about speaking romar apologists

    If I was just taking on the UW job, I'd be damned if someone was suggesting I was scraping up Romar's scraps.

    He had one job: deliver the cup to Heytvelt in a pizza parlor in fucking Clarkston, WA. How hard can that be without getting caught?
