    Jen Cohen should sodomize PurpleBaze with rusty hookah

    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.
    wouldnt that be more of a 'hex?'

    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

    I never said Fire Sark until 2012. Never said It about Pete. Hope is the last place coach with no icoming fercuits. He’s gotta go.
    Chinned for getting this thought across mid-stroke.

    I think it would be best to give Hop two more years, then view the body of work. (I voted for 1 more year). That would be 5 years.

    I have some hope that he can do a better job, like he did when surprised everyone in his first year.

    And maybe limit the one-and-done’s. With the exception of Stewart none of them have made uw a better team, just good recruiting rankings.

    36% one more year
    13% needs more time to clean up the program

    There’s absolutely no reason to fire Hop

    Yes ... this year has been below what was expected ... took longer than desired for the light bulb to go on

    The thing I look for in evaluating is whether the team has quit ... this team despite their flaws for large parts of the season never quit

    Firing people isn’t something that should be arrived at lightly ... when it is it is usually warranted because of non-performance related behavior or there are large vendettas in play

    This is a good point. Romar had a few teams fold the tent on him. This team never quit. Close loss after close loss they always played hard and led in the second half in pretty much every game they played this year. They seem to be figuring some things out. Sweeping the desert is not easy. If Hop can coach next years team to an NIT then he is probably a pretty good coach. The question that remains is can he build a roster of solid four year players and develop those guys as they mature. Fire Dollar or Conroy and bring in a coach, young or old that can run an offense. Next years team will need an offensive identity that can get guys open looks at the bucket through ball movement and off ball movement. What we ran this year with actual talent will be a disaster with next years roster. Just my two cents. Coach stays.

    Doog legends or not, what coach in their right mind would bring in two guys that either played or coached for the prior coach who got run out of town?

    Cameron Dollar hasn't seen the better side of basketball since he started eating pizza in Clarkston. And he hasn't stopped. Nom nom nom.

    And no recruits this year?!? From a supposed local guy in Conroy? WTF???? He should be able to drive to Garfield, O'Dea and Beach and pull at least ONE D-1 caliber guy out of the lunchroom. If your 'local' hometown guy can't do that, then there's something more that is either being left unsaid or he's not well-liked with the local power brokers/high school coaches. Get your shit together or GTFO. Even Stan Empterman was asked to LEAVE and he's sure as fuck a bigger doog legend than Will fucking Conroy.

    Don't even get me started on that lurch motherfucker Rice. He couldn't be Ken Bone's piss boy from an X and O standpoint. WTF does he bring to the table other than "look at me, I played with Grandmama and Stacy Augmon"? He should know how to cheat like a motherfucker and bring in talent with those roots. Instead Hop gets the one fucking Mormon from the Tarkanian tree.

    Either Hop sweeps his staff and gets his own guys in there or he gets no more tim. Very simple.
