Vorel to Jen Cohen: "Is UW men’s basketball coach Mike Hopkins’ job in jeopardy?"

Doog_de_Jour

The more I see this thread in Recent Discussions, the more I get pissed off at the fact our? basketball programs are shit...and I normally don’t give a fuck about college ball until March.

I feel like the program (for both men and women) has so much potential if we? could just get some coaches with big sets of balls/ovaries.

Again, I hate UW athletics right now.

Wynn fired ... Jen did the easy part

Let’s see if she can make a reasonable hire

Yes, one of my pet peeves about women's basketball is that that's actually a thing, and we've done it twice now.

Mrs. Lake does not coach the tight ends.

NAU hadn't been remotely competitive for 10 years before she got there. And Rueck's success at OSU says that Northwest Conference experience can work out too.

TBF... UW hired the softball coach's husband as a bench coach despite the fact the HS baseball teams he coached were largely mediocre.

And they've always been really good.

Nick Holt's wife is a former head coach at the D-1 level (#myvandals). Long time ago but she was pretty hot then.

Just throwing out names.

Isn't Hopkins' buyout $11 or $13 million until after the 2021 season? Seems like hitting the JC / transfer portal hard and changing a couple of assistants would be more likely than big hitter wallets stepping forward to help with the buy-out.

You'd think so given Jen's complete inaction. But it's way smaller than that - it moves from $6m to $3m at the end of this month. Small time bullshit.

Seriously? $3 million is nothing these days with coaching contracts. A pair of sold out games pays that buyout. At $3 million, you can't afford not to try something different to turn the program around.
