Hop vs. Petersen

Both coaches preach essentially the same message but the way they conduct themselves is yin and yang. Pete hates talking to the media while Hop relishes it. Pete takes things very SERIOUSLY while Hop appears to be infusing his program with fun every chance he gets.
I know that we don't see everything that goes on inside each program so the reality is probably not as extreme as I'm painting it out to be but there is definitely a considerable difference between the two programs even though, at their core, they both preach discipline, hard work and excellence on and off the court/field.
To me, it definitely feels like Hop's teams are more resilient and appear to be having more fun. It will be interesting to watch both programs over the coming years to see how/if the same message delivered in two different ways generates different outcomes.

You gotta be who you are, but Hop takes things just as seriously as Pete. Just because he has fun doesn’t mean he doesn’t hold his players to high standards. I know everyone knows this, but still.

Ricky was soft. That became apparent over time. 2000 was a special team tho.DerekJohnson said:I remember people decrying Rick for playing the guitar and taking the team river rafting

Does Hop boat to work? @MikeDamone
This post is dumb til Hop makes at least an Elite 8. Petersen got UW to #4 in the country and that was a legit ranking. -
I once asked Don James about Sark's coaching staff. He said "They have a lot of energy, I'll say that much about them."RoadDawg55 said:

You might get that next year. Basketball isn’t like football tho. A team can be built in 1-2 years. I guess in football it can too, but it’s less likely.RaceBannon said:I'll wait until Hop goes 12-17 in year 6
