    Altman is elite.

    Hop is probably elite.

    Altman is not fucking elite.

    Raise your bar.

    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.
    Altman has been coaching. Hopkins has been a backup. One has been in the game; the other has been a "hold my beer" guy. Great comparison.

    Altman has been to the Final 4 and coached Oregon out of the cellar to make another run in the tournament this season. Hopkins and Washington shit themselves. Not the year to be making this argument.

    I've noticed 95% of your points are based on your own personal speculation about the future. Not much more. Hood rat trash talk is really all you have.

    Elite 8, final four, and 2 sweet 16s at fucking Oregon for basketball is definitely elite.

    30 years as a D1 coach (13 Power 5)
    14 years in the NCAA tournament
    Sweet 16 or better 4 times.

    He's above average, maybe even good, but not even close to elite.

    Ernie Kent also went to the Elite 8 twice in his first 9 years at Oregon. You're saying Ernie Kent was one win from being elite.

    Stop.

    He’s 235-96 at Oregon lol. Stop it DNC. With 0 legit NBA talent.

    He's done a very good job at Oregon. But you're grading his Oregon accomplishments on a massive curve while ignoring his entire career pre Oregon.

    Four times past the round of 32 in 30 years is not elite unless you won at least one natty in those four.

    He was at Creighton lol

    Which is inherently worse than Gonzaga or Butler or Wichita State how?

    Elite coaches win anywhere.

    Altman isn't elite.

    The problem with that analysis is where he was coaching. Don James was a successful coach at Kent State, but it would not have made sense to judge him on how many times he beat Nebraska or Penn State. Basketball is different. Everybody in D1 is headed to the same show.

    Altman was at Creighton for a very long time and won, but was never going to have the horses to make consistent runs with the big boys. You might argue that he was at Creighton for a long time for a reason. That would be an interesting argument. But the one you're making is comparing him to coaches like Izzo. He didn't coach at that level. He's where he is now, and he's done very well. You can go round and round with Back and Hilltop on the semantics. I'd just say he's the best coach in coach in the conference right now and hard stop.

    Not consistently they don't. Gonzaga is the outlier example, not the rule.

    - 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.

    1. Uh fuck yeah, I would expect to be fucking suspended you idiot. Like I said, that's common practice in college and the rest of society, as it should be. Art Briles got fired for a fucking reason you idiot. He knew about sexual assault allegations made against numerous of his players and did absolutely nothing about it. Altman did the same exact thing. Your defense of him is ass fucking backwards and you call me a doog? Fuck out of here.

    2. Yes, I am black bitch and people do get falsely accused of shit. That's why you suspend them indefinitely and you wait for the findings of the investigation. If they are proven innocent, you welcome them back to the team and they can appeal the NCAA for any lost eligibility. It would be the same exact scenario if a player was a prime suspect in a murder case. You can't have a fucking potential murderer playing for your basketball team. It's unethical.

    3. I would have loved Don James. He was very similar to Petersen. Show me proof of when he knew of rape allegations against one of his players and didn't suspend him? You're talking out your ass.

    4. Like I said, it took Altman 28 years to reach the Final Four. Does anybody realistically think it will take Hopkins that long given the massively impressive turn around he's pulled off his first two seasons at UW? If Hopkins whoops Altman's ass in his 3rd year as a head coach versus Altman's 30th year as a head coach, does that not suggest he's better than him and has a higher upside? I think it does. Altman is a slightly above average head coach and that's it. In 30 years, he has never ascended to elite status. Hopkins has the upside as a coach and recruiter to be elite. I would take Hopkins over Altman every single time and it's an easy choice.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. It was a different time and there was no internet and women didn't want their names in the papers. I was around dummy; you were not. Shit got buried, so how am I supposed to 'prove' what didn't make its way to the public? I tutored at the EOP. I was pretty well informed. You obviously are not. DJ had a db play for him whose nickname around campus was "Date Rape [first name]". He had players do all kinds of shit and "LIPO'd" it until it went away.

    Get the fuck outta here with shit you know nothing about bitch. DJ had players on his team that would have scared the shit out of you. He'd look the other way more than RN, and that 2000 team had some players on it that would have made you get counseling.

    You have this image of UW athletics as a lily white example of how things should be. The truth is far from that, but you don't know because you're a satellite campus wannabe.

    LOL. I am actually laffing out loud at you at this moment.

    :D

    PS: did you read the fucking police report btw? Those players got branded and that girl actually told the cop she just let them do what they wanted to do so she could go to sleep. She went into the bathroom willingly and walking into a lot of what happened to her. She slept at the damn apartment. She sounds stupid and regretful. Victim? Not so sure. And, the detail that they were never even charged.

    Rape accusations get thrown at black men like speeding tickets. You should be ashamed you're using this to make a stupid point about a basketball coach.

    There were moments last year when putting Sabrina Ionescu on the men's team was considered a legitimate option and Altman still Macguyvered together a team out of chewing gum wrappers and made the Sweet 16.

    That's elite coaching.

    I only stated facts and you prefer to ignore them. Hopkins was Pac-12 coach of the year over Altman twice, his first two seasons as a head coach. That's a fact. We have two coaches that we're comparing. One has been a head coach for 30 years. The other, 2 years. The only reasonable way to compare them is to consider Hopkins' trajectory and upside as a coach. Hopkins' upside is clearly higher than Altman's. It won't take Hopkins 28 years to get to the Final Four and like I said, UW will mop the court with Oregon's shit team this season.

    UW didn't shit themselves last season. They were coached to make it exactly as far as their talent level could possibly take them and then lost to a much more talented UNC team in the tournament.

    Yeah sure, you would have said the same thing prior to the 2016 football season when I was saying UW was gonna whoop Oregon's ass. There are certain facts in the past and present that make certain things in the future more likely. Hopkins can coach his ass off and is an elite recruiter. Those two things and UW's meteoric turnaround suggest he's on his way to becoming one of the best head coaches in college basketball.
