Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Has Hopkins been fired yet?

Jen is half-right with that.IceManLikeGervin said:
Sorry - Conroy has had more than enough tim and Dollar is just recycling Romar assistants.
And Hop whiffed on Rose. The Boner would have been the correct hire there but he's sipping margaritas at Pepperdine.

This is a special kind of FS if true. Firing assistants? After the season is over?
-
They're cheaper and probably on short term contracts. Plus they can't recruit and evaluate talent worth shit.no_uh said:This is a special kind of FS if true. Firing assistants? After the season is over?

Nobody on this coaching staff can recruit or evaluate talent. I guess Willingham should have just been allowed to fire his assistants after 0-12. If the athletic department is too tight on money for the buyout, they should go get a loan. Hell, pledge Hec Ed as security too. It's not that hard. All of this smells like mismanagement from the top and pathetic attempts to safe face by you know who.PurpleThrobber said:

If Romar would have been allowed to coach out the season he was fired then had his coaching job evaluated after that season as promised by Jen then Ken Bone would have been on Romar's staff coaching the offense. As would have coach Dollar who Romar was brining back on his staff most likely replacing Will Conroy.PurpleThrobber said:

Jen is just redirecting and deflecting because the assistants (Conroy, Dollar, Rice) aren't the issue, it's the inexperienced head coach that she hired to run the program after being so impressed by his pre interview push ups, he's is the root of the problem.
Get rid of Mike Hopkins and she'll get rid of the problem but her ego and wealthy, influential Tyee Club boosters that brought Mike Hopkins to Montlake most likely want to give Mike Hopkins more time to turn around the program which he is sinking.
Syracuse West is a failure...and Mike Hopkins came to the UW from a dirty NCAA sanctioned program. Lay down with an inexperienced head coach from a dirty basketball program and wake up four years later in despair wondering where LoRo's recruits went.
Bring on the BRoy coaching era at Montlake!!!!!!!

Those very same wealthy, influential Tyee Club boosters that ante up'd for LoRo's buyout (3.2 million) in order to bring Mike Hopkins to Montlake need to dig deep in their collective pockets and buyout Mike Hopkins by making him an offer that he can't refuse.no_uh said:

Is there any truth to that rumor? What a fucking joke if so.

You think Conroy wants to run a 2-3 zone? No, no he doesn't. Local recruits aren't running from Conroy, they are running from Hop.PurpleThrobber said:

Longtime poster from other site but haven’t post there in ages and likely won’t again. The elitism with the powers that be is off the charts so fuck em.
Anyway...been a die hard hoop fan for last 35 years.
I have met Hopkins and watched practice. Played in college and still play to this day.
Here is a simple take on him based from experience
He used his enthusiasm to help try and cover up all his coaching defects. He hugged me the very first time he met me because my family donates a lot of money. I imagine I get jack shit if I’m a normal plebeian but a reach around if he knew I was a Tyee member.
Today’s players don’t want to play a zone 24/7. That is for old men in the Psbl. Syracuse has lost its recruiting swagger for a decade now. Jen Cohen has literally destroyed both hoops programs.
Hopkins and whoever coaches the ladies team need to be fired, as well as everyone on their staff except maybe Will Conroy. Cameron dollar needs to step away from Chick fil A and start hooping in the bellevue league again when it opens.
I play with a ton of local CC level talent.(yes today...undercover outdoors...play 2-4 times a week. About 40-50 of us total in the mix) None of them ever mention a word about husky basketball. It wasn’t like that during the Romar era. Even at the end young kids would talk about the dawgs.
Hopkins has more hair than we have wins and that’s not saying much.
The only good thing about sucking so bad is that the losses don’t hurt much as they are expected. -
Wtf?
First time poster
Just posted a bunch of shit and it somehow got deleted. Not sure if it was me
Anyway....
Hopkins sucks
Ladies coach sucks
Cohen sucks
Local talent could care less about the dawgs right now. I play with a large group of 40-50 players undercover outdoors right now and half are 16-22 year olds. None talk about the dawgs. It was never like that during the Romar Era. Even at the end kids talked about the dawgs.
