    Given what we have coming back, it is going to be a rough year. I will say 20 wins at best and on the tourney bubble entering our conference tournament. Let's see after next year. Before firing somebody, you have to have a guy in mind and I don't know who that is right now.

    Wish we would have hired Eric Musselman.

    That part can be fixed. Start researching and going thru the backchannels to find a new coach.

    Waffled between yes and no. Question is, is Hop going to be just a continuation of Syracuse, or adapt.

    A continuation of Syracuse? They aren’t ever getting last in the conference.

    Whats funny is if this was football, we wouldn't be calling for Petersen's job but his assistants. Who on the staff needs to go? Hop is a defensive guy and the defense really isn't the problem. Our offensive blows and our guard play is bad. Is that on Dollars or Conroy? We can blame Rice for Bey. This year is only a disaster because of PG depth. We would be in the tourney if Quade could pass a fucking class.

    Yes - yesterday.

    Steal the Cuog ala Marv Harshman. Their overall talent level is laughable for a Pac 12 team aside from Elleby. But Cuog bitch slapped Hop twice this season.

    The assistants primary job is to recruit. Zero commits means they absolutely suck at it.

    Make Hop fire the assistants himself and then fire him. Basic corporate move.

    No. Don't waste the buyout money on basketball. Save the cash for football.

    Save the buyout cash for football is a funny comment, but there is some truth there.

    Mainly, the collapse this year was so sudden and extreme that I can't help but think it's possible more is at play than just bad coaching.

    Something is terribly broken, no doubt, and it's alarming the lack of offensive scheme, player development, and roster management, but let him bite the bullet next year in a do or die season.

    I know we're not UNC by any stretch of the imagination, but Roy Williams just went first to worst this year with a more stacked roster than UW.

    Roy has earned the benefit of the doubt unlike Hop, but when you fuck with one and dones this can happen. I agree with Road the recruiting strategy needs to change for a program like UW.

    WSU is 6-10 in conference.

    Dude is better than Hop but that doesn't make him good.
