    HOP grave stone will say ZONE, because that outdated D is going to bury this guy.

    It’s not the zone. I don’t love it either, but it’s really not having anyone that is an actually good offensive player.
    2018 it was just 'throw it in to Dickerson' or 'let Nowell cook'

    I’m 98% sure Kim went to one practice, saw 3 guys with braids and that’s how he came up with how much more athletic they are this year

    They are much more athletic than last year but Hop isn't like your coach where he can just throw a juco/transfer roster together. He needs the previous coach who was a good recruiter to supply him the players as seniors.

    That too!

    They need to open up the rotation, go end line to end line, Bob Huggins type shit.

    Mike Hopkins is coaching for his job this season. He will play an 8 man rotation against better teams and in closer games talent wise. He has shown that during his 5 seasons at Montlake. He doesn't develop the depth very well during the OOC schedule. For example Hopkins knew that Quade Green was going to be academically ineligible weeks in advance and didn't even develop back up pg Elijah Hardy to take over in the meantime just burned Marcus Tsohonis redshirt and Marcus wasn't even a true point guard like Hardy.

    I like the athletes and the roster turnover (Thanks Will) they were able to achieve, but without being able to shoot 3's, they are in trouble. He brings in new asst, but obviously does not listen to them. His Rotations still suck, they still look clueless on offense and play a 1980's style Defense. Hop will not survive, because he is a shitty coach.
