First Riverside, now Montana. Does anyone still think Mike Hopkins knows what the fuck he's doing?

He's coaching a bunch of scrubs. They had to play beyond their ability to almost knock off Oregoon.

You can only coach the talent you have. I think his recruiting is more of a concern than his coaching although I have always advocated he hire someone off Few" staff to install and run offense.

Worth noting that Montana's only win this season is over Yellowstone Christian College, a Division 6 team from the Old Faithful Athletic League coached by Grizzly Adams

A good article yesterday about it, about how he wanted to run a four guard offense built around the three point line, with a team that can't shoot. Not good.

More like Jellystone Christian College, coached by Ranger Smith.

Seems you aren't the only one with questions. I hadn't followed close enough this year, actually haven't seen one single game. I just assumed we didn't have the talent. Might be an issue with coaching and style as well.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 4:04 amFirst Riverside, now Montana. Does anyone still think Mike Hopkins knows what the fuck he's doing?

It appears Hopkins made a serious miscalculation when he retooled UW’s offense, de-emphasizing its low-post production and prioritizing its perimeter attack.
Before the season Hopkins believed a vast array of three-point specialists — including Quade Green, Erik Stevenson and RaeQuan Battle — would carry a thin front line depleted by the loss of one-and-done players Isaiah Stewart and Jaden McDaniels who bolted to the NBA.
Hopkins said the three-point shot was the “great equalizer in college basketball” and envisioned Washington shooting between 25-30 shots from behind the arc.
Six games into the season, it’s clear that UW’s offensive philosophy doesn’t fit its personnel.
Washington ranks 298th among 323 Division I teams on three-pointers, shooting 25.8 percent.
Here’s a look at UW’s three-point shooting this season: Baylor (5 of 24), UC Riverside (3 of 20), Utah (6 of 30), Seattle U (8 of 15) and Oregon (7 of 19).
Against Montana the Huskies were 2 of 12.
The switch to a four-guard, perimeter offense has a ripple effect that weakens UW’s rebounding and its ability to draw fouls.
It took Washington far too long Wednesday to realize it had mismatches in the paint with Nate Roberts, an athletic and bouncy 6-foot-10 forward, and 7-4 backup center Riley Sorn.
Roberts finished with 13 points on 6-for-7 shooting and 10 rebounds, and Sorn had 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting.

#1 Gonzaga beat #3 Iowa 99-88. What would the score be if they played the Huskies. I would say 107-41.
