Everything I read about him screams "Big Ten Lifer", but agree that he has a solid resume.
Yeah, somehow I think Syracuse lures him back when Boeheim retires. He just landed top 5 recruit Isaiah Stewart 2 days ago over Duke, Kentucky, and Michigan State. Now Hopkins is also considered the favorite to land fellow top 10 player Jaden McDaniels. He will have Washington competing for the Pac 12 championship next year. Syracuse will back up the brinks truck to bring him back, he was always their top recruiter and Boeheim's top student of the 2-3 zone.
I'm not sure I'd leave Washington for Syracuse TBH, especially if I'm already proving I can pull in top 10 recruits there. Unless 'cuse can just pay a lot more b/c of all the attendance revenue and ACC Net $$
should look at the Bill Self coaching tree imo
IDK Syracuse is nothing to thumb up your nose at:
Washington has a lot of money and the PAC12 has good TV deals. Add to that, he's a west coast guy.
^my real point is that, looking over the several decades, hiring an assistant coach who's learned from an elite head coach has had a higher rate of success that a midmajor coach without an elite track record. oats has an elite track record; grant, miller and kelsey do not.
So, someone like Danny Manning?
I assume he's referring to Associate Head Coaches rather than recruiting/position type assistants, but, to be fair, it's not specified.
The Pac-12 has the worst TV deal of all the power conferences. Their network isn't even carried by Direct TV. It has cost the conference millions of dollars.

And is it true that most of the conference doesn’t even charter flights?
It is true yes.
