    We all know this kid isn't going to Oregon. But I'll still enjoy it when he officially flips and Oregon's class ranking takes a hit.

    It’s going to hit us really hard.

    The hell I would! Hopkins was the conference coach of the year at UW his first two seasons as a head coach, took us from worst in the Pac to a tournament team in two years, and he's a monster recruiter. Fuck Altman. Hop is gonna spank Altman's pasty white ass this season.
    That's a lot of trash talk on behalf of a coach who got RAPED by the other coach this great season you reference.

    Altman has a body of work. Hopkins is a good coach, but he has some work to do before I'd say he's better than Altman.

    Point is, Altman had no idea if the accusation was legit or not. Any coach with integrity would suspend those players immediately and indefinitely until the investigation into the allegation is finished. He did nothing and allowed them to keep playing until the Oregon athletic department suspended the players themselves. That's some Art Briles shit.

    Also, one of the players accused was under investigation for sexual assault at a previous school before transferring to Oregon. Altman is trash.
    So I take it you're not down with American jurisprudence and the whole "innocent until proven guilty" bit?

    Didn't the players later sue the school and won?

    Never said anything like that. Just that Hopkin's team is gonna mop the court with Altman's team in Hopkin's third year on the job.

    That applies in a court of law. In the real world, it's common sense and common practice to suspend people when they're under investigation for rape until they are proven innocent. The fact the athletic department had to step in and suspend them instead of Altman speaks volumes about his character and where his priorities lie. Winning basketball games was prioritized over a potential rape victim. Altman is a piece of shit like Art Briles. If you are aware of a sexual assault allegation against your players, you don't sit back and do nothing.

    It was in reference to Altman having a better body of work than Hopkins. Until hop makes the final four, there is no discussion.

    UW basketball has one decent year that ended with getting blown out in Vegas and blown out in the 2nd round of the tourney. It’s a good start but still a long ways to go before you can even compare hop to Dana or even Sean Miller

    1. The female who made the accusation sued Oregon and won and got paid $800,000 by the university as well as free tuition for the rest of her time as a student at Oregon. The former basketball players accused of the rape sued Oregon for $10 million each and I'm not finding anything about them winning and getting a settlement from the University.

    2. It's fucking irrelevant anyways. AT THE FUCKING TIME of the allegations, Altman was aware of them and did nothing and played them. The same as Art Briles. The female didn't file criminal charges against them and got paid very well by Oregon. Had she filed charges and they were found guilty, Altman would have in hindsight, kept rapists on his team to win basketball games. What happened AFTER Altman played alleged rapists IS IRRELEVANT because he had no idea if they were innocent or guilty.

    He did it with 2 legit dudes on his team.

    One of them couldn’t even score.

    They have the most talent in the PAC-12 now.

    Not at all. How long has Altman been on the job? 9 years. If Hopkins and UW are better than Oregon and Altman in Hopkins' third year on the job, I think it's safe to say Hopkins is the better coach.

    Altman has been a D1 head coach since 1989. Took him 28 years to get to a Final Four. It's pretty obvious Hopkins has more upside.

    So Tae is flipping, Slusher will likely flip, how solid is Luke Hill though?

    Tae is vocal. The other two aren’t. There is nothing concrete saying they aren’t solid. However, there was a mention by Hopkins that he thinks one of those three actually signs. Tae is likely gone and the other two, there’s nothing to mention but just a gut feeling.

    Luke Hill isn’t very good.

    Slusher and Tae are good.

    - It also applies in our culture. If someone at work accused you of groping them, would you be ok being suspended until they figured it out? W/o pay? Because when you suspend an athlete, there's no replacing that time.

    - Or maybe it speaks volumes about his judgment. Life is a little more complicated than you make it out to be. You don't just suspend players the second someone makes an allegation. You're supposedly black - you should know better than most that people get falsely accused of shit, like rape, all the time.

    - I think you would have hated Don James had you been alive back then.

    - Your argument about Altman and Hopkins is stupid. And, he wasn't really better than Altman even this year. Standing on this soap box and yelling so loudly given how the season played out is only something you can do. I can't think of a doogier person on doogman, other than krisvashon, who is actually mentally stunted. It's one thing to argue that Hopkins is a good young coach who seems to have a great trajectory ahead of him and who has done well at Washington. It's another thing to make the argument you are making, with the sample size you have. It speaks volumes about your thought process.

    Altman is elite.

    Hop is probably elite.
