    They lost to UC Riverside?

    Jesus Christ... Hop seems to have lost his team.

    Hop is to the point where he has no pride in what he is doing. he is cashing checks. He probably feels bad. But not bad enough to resign and go join the Nike circuit or whatever the hell else it is that crappy head coaches do next.

    Pretty simple— Hop can’t coach offense or develop players worth a shit.

    Even in his “good” years, they were pretty shitty offensively. Nowell covered up a lot of the warts by being able to get a bucket whenever, and being clutch as hell. Also Dickerson was a solid big who could score in the post.

    We’ve discussed the zone ad nauseum... I don’t completely hate it but I agree with Teq’s take that it doesn’t really work in today’s game. Oh and they can’t rebound out of it and Hop has zero competent bigs on the roster.

    The complete lack of development is the biggest indictment to me. Hameir is exactly the same player he was when he was a freshman...

    Not really.

    I think most here would agree Roman needed to go, and also that Hop looks lost out there. It doesn’t have to be one or the other, you can think both.
    That was a joke. But even in his worst years, Romar isn’t losing that game by 15. And based on the total it might as well been 25.

    I'm guessing Jen is happy to wait until March 31st to cut ties with Hop. His buyout falls from $6m to $3m at that point. Considering the sharp decline in all sports revenue for the year, I suppose this is the ideal year for him to just tank and cement the need to fire his ass after the season. Frankly I don't even care enough to diagnose why or how this all happened so fast. It sure seems incredibly unprecedented for a conference coach of the year to completely implode the program like this with the pace he's done it at. Maybe those of you with a pulse on CBB history can point to a few other examples of this happening, because I'm definitely coming up empty.

    Whatever. Just tune the fuck out this season, and start over new with someone else. The fact that there's literally no silver lining, be it player or recruit, to hang onto makes it all the easier to wipe the slate clean.

    I have zero confidence we’ll shitcan him after the year.

    UWMBB history is littered with coaches who were kept far behind the point it was obvious they weren’t the guy.
    Maybe I'm giving Jen too much credit, but I would be shocked if he stays after this year, barring any kind of dramatic turnaround from what we've seen. Sample size is small, but this team looks historically bad, so any finish that's better than 10th in the conference would be a surprise at this point. No glimmers of hope on the roster, no big recruiting classes coming in, nothing to look ahead to.

    You only save $2m by firing Hop in 2021 instead of waiting until after the '21-'22 season. Not even the most charitable of ADs could justify keeping him.
