    No, he needs several more years to clean up the program
    I rather enjoy watching the suffering.

    Suffering?

    It's basketball, who cares? It's not real life, like watching Oregon win a 🥀 after we just lost one the year before.

    He should be fired, but he obviously won’t be. Nice job by Cohen to give him that extension.

    Whats funny is if this was football, we wouldn't be calling for Petersen's job but his assistants. Who on the staff needs to go? Hop is a defensive guy and the defense really isn't the problem. Our offensive blows and our guard play is bad. Is that on Dollars or Conroy? We can blame Rice for Bey. This year is only a disaster because of PG depth. We would be in the tourney if Quade could pass a fucking class.

    Sure most fans would be saying that but isn’t the HH mantra it is always the head coach?

    Also, obviously football is orders of magnitude more complicated in terms of scheming and the number of different positions and techniques to be taught. As others said wtf do assistants in basketball even do other than recruit and motivate?

    Once again, @Yousef_#1UberDriver, consequences in terms of tolls or the extent of the epidemic you have become on University of Washington Hardcore Husky website is aimed at increasing fear and panic among people cannot be calculated. You are very bad man.

    Leader @DerekJohnson, I respect rule to not call for genocide, but I hope this Yousef contracts COVID-19, spends many weeks in hospital isolation and recovers after many painful days of treatment only to never drive car again. This curse I put upon him.
    Hey, be nice.

    He showed enough in his first 2 seasons to make me think that he could still be the guy, and this season was just a fluke. Can him after another bad season... but it’s not worth the buyout as long as that *maybe* factor exists.

    Also worth noting that it’ll be easier to attract a better new coach once the new $60 million training facility is built or close to being ready

    Waffled between yes and no. Question is, is Hop going to be just a continuation of Syracuse, or adapt.

    A continuation of Syracuse? They aren’t ever getting last in the conference.
    The poont is he is just trying to do Syracuse at UW. Stringent to the 2-3. It was eye opening how much the team responded to switching to zone, and full court pressure, and at that point one could see the talent come forward. Also Syracuse is a national hoops brand, with actual history and accomplishments, with the benefit of being in the ACC (currently) where a 9th or 10th place finish can still lead to a tourney appearance. BTW Syracuse is a .500 conference team the last 5 years.

    Should Roy Williams be fired for finishing last in the ACC this year?

    Did Coach K stay stringent to the coaching philosophy of Bob Knight? Roy Williams to Dean Smith? Is Bill Self doing everything Larry Brown did? Or did they take that, put their own spin on things, and adapt to new situations. My poont is I don't see Hop adapting, just being a zealot to a system, that though successful at Syracuse, isn't a great fit for the talent on his roster.

    First to worst. Enough said on that.

    In fairness, wasn't it basically worst-to-first-to-worst?

    Yes - yesterday.

    Steal the Cuog ala Marv Harshman. Their overall talent level is laughable for a Pac 12 team aside from Elleby. But Cuog bitch slapped Hop twice this season.



    WSU is 6-10 in conference.

    Dude is better than Hop but that doesn't make him good.
    Cuog has one guy who would start elsewhere in the conference.

    I would still take Noah Williams over half the players on our team. He’s going to be a good player.

    I think this bored goes nuts about firing. Some probably think Saban ought to be fired.

    That said, a repeat of and he's gone

    Next year will be much better when we lose those shitty lottery picks. I guess we could wait, but I'm not really sure what for. Getting dead last in this conference should always be immediate grounds for dismissal.

    He’s a helluva player. Definitely gonna be a good, maybe great one. Still a freshman.

    But, yeah - clearly gets his rocks off beating Hop’s overrated mess.

    Keep Hop. The recruiting luster is gone. No more McDonalds AA. Fine. Let him sign the best local kids, possible and develop them over three/four years. UW can't win with 1-2 one and done's and upperclass jags. They just can't. This isn't Duke, Carolina, or Kentucky.

    Historically Washington wins with upperclassman. Great if Hop can sign a Stewart like player to add to a composite roster of jr/sr's. An eligible point guard would be nice, too. Daniels sucked but was a must take. He'll get some guys. LIPO.

    You’re prolly right. But I don’t care enough about Husky hoops to be an informed fan.
