No question and this is why one and dones are bad unless an elite coach with a track record is coaching them. Too many handlers, too many concessions made, and it creates too much bad blood with the regular players on the team.
McDaniels is not of any benefit to the team and absolutely hurts the program despite being talented.
Kim Grinolds and some other dawgman people are pedaling this notion that Sam Timmons was forced to give up his jersey # to Isaiah Stewart and that caused a morale hit with the team that snowballed into the shitshow that has been this season. If true, that is some seriously shitty team management by Hopkins.
Doogman would find a way to blame the shit season on the one decent player on the team.
Fuck them.
That's also the way to conclude that Stewart wouldn't give K-Grizzle the time of day

The only hope (hope?, lol), because Hop isnt going anywhere, is that Hop as a real first time head coach didnt understand how destructive a guys like Mcdaniels and Quade if they arent managed expertly and he has learned from this years disaster and he goes back to getting tryhards like Tybulle, Nowell, and dickersons with a Stewart type 5 star every 2-3 years playing hard within his defensive system.
Shit happens, Fuck Hop, he should be fired for this season, but its the fact that there is absolutely nothing to look forward to next season that is so fucking draining.
If he had 2-3 good prospects coming in after this season I could probably convince myself to give him a mulligan/fluke because he has been good in the past and he isnt going anywhere anyways so might as well LIPO. But the shit this season and recruiting is just retarded.

The problem with keeping Hop is that we are basically starting from scratch next year when he’s already had three years. The more years he’s spent at UW, the less his connections to the East Coast become. We have recruited horribly on the West Coast. We aren’t a player or two away. We are 4-5 players away. Not one guy returning is a top 20 player in the conference.
You look just at in state guys and can see how much losing them have hurt us. Malachi Flynn is the leading scorer on a 25-0 SDSU team. Elleby is an all conference player at WSU. Kispert is a very good player at Gonzaga. Wichita State’s leading scorer went to Timberline in Olympia. Noah Williams at WSU will develop into a very good PAC 12 player. Having a couple of these guys would make us drastically better.
I know some think UW can’t be good in basketball, but they easily can. Recruit 3-4 year players and you are also in a loctation where there are high 4 and 5 star in state players every couple of years.
Hop’s coaching is bad. His recruiting is even worse. Things won’t get better until he’s fired. He went all out for the big names and the program fell out from under him because of it. All the blue collar, great system bullshit we bought into was bullshit. We were duped into thinking he was good because he got some guys to try after they quit on Romar.

- first time AD still learning on the job - first time basketball head coach still learning on the job - first time football program head coach about to learn on the job - marketing team composed of staff who are passionate about #TheirDucks yet seem to mail in mediocre work for #OurDawgs

Cohen is in for a rough year. Hopkins is flaming out to a degree of failure never remotely imagined. Lake almost assuredly will be a massive bust, as evidenced by his hiring of Donovan which might be the worst OC hire in the history of college football. Both are first-time HCs learning on the job, massively, massively in over their heads. At an elite university and with the tools and recruiting base to succeed quickly and sustainably.
I've never used McDaniels' play as a barometer for this team because after watching him for about 5 games, it was pretty easy to tell that kid is complete fucking mess.
I've never used Stewart's play as a barometer for this team because after watching him for about 5 games, it was pretty easy to tell that he is a generational talent (for UW) and is currently a man playing among boys.
The guy I've focused on this year is Naz Carter. Just through consistent play he should be averaging 13-18 pts. a night and occasionally putting up 20/8/8 stat lines. Instead, he's regressed to the point that it's easy to forget that he's even on the team for long stretches of each game. With Stewart and McDaniel distracting everyone, Carter should be having a break-out year.
Carter's regression on offense, his clear inability to understand how to be an effective defender in the 2-3 (he's not Thybulle level, but there's no reason he can't be a Nowell type defender) ... and most troubling of all, his piss poor body language (see going off on Timmons, and then jawing with Hop on the sidelines during the UCLA game) means there's something really wrong with this team. He was the guy that should have had NO trouble finding and being successful in his role this year but instead, he's just a liability.
That zone is shit. Didn't watch yesterday but did watch the Cuog game where it got sliced and diced. You can't play zone unless there's some SOME concept of defending man to man. Hop put them in this weird umbrella 4-1 kind of configuration with spread arms and hopes they get a deflection or a steal.
There's no pressure on the ball, there's no recognition of picking up off-ball cutters flashing middle and baseline. Once in a while they extend the defense and try to trap out of it - but overall it's shit. Complete shit.

As someone who’s played basketball their entire life, my dick gets hard when I see the other team come out in a zone.

Zone has a time and place and can be effective. The way Hop is coaching it -it is shit.
You think they'd be an offensive juggernaut because they are clearly not spending any time on the defensive end.

Embarrassing.
Imagine agreeing with this.
He's hyperbolic but this isn't the best time for you to slither out with your passive aggressive, peanut IQ doogisms. Run along.
I really liked Hopkins but this past month has been a massive disaster. Romar flamed out going after the one and dones and he's about to. I don't know if he needs to be fired but it's pretty hard to argue against at this point. I don't get to see many games, but there is no cohesion and team chemistry, there's a lack of effort, and these prima donnas play for themselves. He would have been better going after the decent three star guys and following the Gonfaga way.
