The main reason I wanted Williams is because he has neck tats and two kids by 16, he’s already a grown man.
Not sure those two things qualify a kid as a "grown man". Both signs of immaturity and poor decision making skills.
Firstly, I think he was joking. We makes jokes outside of the hood.
Secondly, we? didn't mind when Curtis Williams ("I love you buddy!") was roaming the secondary in Montlake, and he had all kinds of judgment issues.
Joke didn't hit the mark if that was the case.
I was like 8 years old when Curtis Williams was at UW. Never saw any of those guys Neuheisel guys play. Williams certainly wouldn't be recruited by Petersen and company. Your current basketball coach knowingly played guys accused of gang rape. [/b]
For the sake of pure schadenfreude, I read the whole damned police report after it was published somewhere. I had my pitchfork all sharpened and my torch all soaked in kerosene, but reading the report did not return the expected results. The more I read, the more I was both grossed out and surprised at how sympathetic I became to the players' defense. It's hard to draw any conclusion from the police report other than: 1.) This is filth that would tarnish even Sven's brand (NTTAWWT), and 2.) this was consensual filth that the girl later regretted. If you want to kick guys out of school or off a basketball team because they're "yucky," I guess that's up to the AD and the fans that buy tickets, but I couldn't see where any laws--or even school policies--were broken/violated.
There are roughly 85,000,000 gang bang videos on the internet. I'm sure at least a handful of the poor women in those videos regretted it after the fact. Some of these women were almost certainly legitimately drugged/coerced/etc. into doing something they didn't want to do, and this is a serious issue. The others were just victims of their own poor choices. The Oregon basketball case, at least by all available evidence, seems more like the latter than the former--and this coming from a total #metoo hippy liberal pussy who's very close to a victim of campus rape before it became a big issue. I REALLY wanted to hate those players based off the headlines, but it ended up being more of a "those guys are fucking gross" and move on kind of a thing.
Point is, Altman had no idea if the accusation was legit or not. Any coach with integrity would suspend those players immediately and indefinitely until the investigation into the allegation is finished. He did nothing and allowed them to keep playing until the Oregon athletic department suspended the players themselves. That's some Art Briles shit.
Also, one of the players accused was under investigation for sexual assault at a previous school before transferring to Oregon. Altman is trash.
Altman is a great coach. You'd shave your pussy to have him. Sometimes you gotta give credit where it's due.
The hell I would! Hopkins was the conference coach of the year at UW his first two seasons as a head coach, took us from worst in the Pac to a tournament team in two years, and he's a monster recruiter. Fuck Altman. Hop is gonna spank Altman's pasty white ass this season.
That's a lot of trash talk on behalf of a coach who got RAPED by the other coach this great season you reference.
Altman has a body of work. Hopkins is a good coach, but he has some work to do before I'd say he's better than Altman.
You won't have to wait long. Just tune in this season.
UW gonna make the final 4 this season? Lol
Never said anything like that. Just that Hopkin's team is gonna mop the court with Altman's team in Hopkin's third year on the job.
It was in reference to Altman having a better body of work than Hopkins. Until hop makes the final four, there is no discussion.
UW basketball has one decent year that ended with getting blown out in Vegas and blown out in the 2nd round of the tourney. It’s a good start but still a long ways to go before you can even compare hop to Dana or even Sean Miller
Not at all. How long has Altman been on the job? 9 years. If Hopkins and UW are better than Oregon and Altman in Hopkins' third year on the job, I think it's safe to say Hopkins is the better coach.
Altman has been a D1 head coach since 1989. Took him 28 years to get to a Final Four. [/b]It's pretty obvious Hopkins has more upside.
Altman has been coaching. Hopkins has been a backup. One has been in the game; the other has been a "hold my beer" guy. Great comparison.
Altman has been to the Final 4 and coached Oregon out of the cellar to make another run in the tournament this season. Hopkins and Washington shit themselves. Not the year to be making this argument.
I've noticed 95% of your points are based on your own personal speculation about the future. Not much more. Hood rat trash talk is really all you have.
I only stated facts and you prefer to ignore them. Hopkins was Pac-12 coach of the year over Altman twice, his first two seasons as a head coach. That's a fact. We have two coaches that we're comparing. One has been a head coach for 30 years. The other, 2 years. The only reasonable way to compare them is to consider Hopkins' trajectory and upside as a coach. Hopkins' upside is clearly higher than Altman's. It won't take Hopkins 28 years to get to the Final Four and like I said, UW will mop the court with Oregon's shit team this season.
UW didn't shit themselves last season. They were coached to make it exactly as far as their talent level could possibly take them and then lost to a much more talented UNC team in the tournament.
Yeah sure, you would have said the same thing prior to the 2016 football season when I was saying UW was gonna whoop Oregon's ass. There are certain facts in the past and present that make certain things in the future more likely. Hopkins can coach his ass off and is an elite recruiter. Those two things and UW's meteoric turnaround suggest he's on his way to becoming one of the best head coaches in college basketball.
