Cohen can stay as long as the boosters demand a good hire and she makes it happen.
Anything else, bye.
Hate on Hop now all you want but he was a home run hire. He was the heir at Syracuse and early indications were good.
Even the Jimmy hiring made sense.
Mike Hopkins was a pushup hire suggested by some very powerful boosters over at the Tyee Club and former players that wanted to turn the UW MBB program into Syracuse West by hiring a 22 year career assistant coach to lead the way.
Mike Hopkins had never been a head coach before at any level outside of taking over for Jim Boheim when he was suspeneded by the NCAA and went 4-5 with a Syracuse team that would eventually make the Final Four.
Mike Hopkins looked good coaching Romar's recruits but ever since he had to get off of the LoRo lifeboat he has been atrocious coaching his own recruits recruited by him to play in his outdated defensive system and who knows what he is running on offense going into his fifth year coaching at Montlake.
Mike Hopkins basketball acumen is severely lacking as is his ability to make in game and half time adjustments in real time.
Mike Hopkins can't manage the program properly either word to Quade Green (academics) and Naz Carter (sexual assault allegation cover up).
Also, after 4 seasons leading the program who has Mike Hopkins developed? Naz Carter? Hameir Wright? Jamal Bey? Nate Roberts? Cole Bajema?
It only took Jen Cohen two days to hire Hopkins
https://www.syracuse.com/orangebask...on_acted_swiftly_to_pluck_sus_coach_in_w.html after she backstabbed LoRo after promising Romar the upcoming season to coach his highly touted recruiting class before making a decision on his coaching future at the UW.
Btw- didn't Mike Hopkins come over from a dirty NCAA sanction program in Syracuse
https://www.sbnation.com/college-ba...3/syracuse-ncaa-scandal-explained-jim-boeheim where he feigned ignorance to the related particulars despite, in his own words, being very involved with the players both on and off of the court?
I don't know why the UW hired an assistant lap dog coach from a dirty NCAA program...that's on Jen Cohen and her fascination with hotel room interview pushups.
