Here's the link:

Why am I posting this other than the fact it involves another P12 school in the NW? I believe Hopkis was the other finalist for the Beaver gig along with Tinkle. It'll be interesting to see how he does.

Kind of a shock considering Hopkins was the coach in waiting. Boeheim was supposed to retire next year but reports have said he might be reconsidering retiring next year. Hopkins must have thought it might drag on and decided to jump at the chance to coach at Washington. Washington definitely had the money to throw at Hopkins.

You can only ask a guy to wait so long.

Oh look, just hours after Hopkins signs with UW, Bumhole signs an extension.

Via ESPN...

"Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim signed an extension Sunday that will run beyond the 2017-18 campaign, just hours after coach-in-waiting Mike Hopkins left to take the Washington job.

"'Mike accepting the position at Washington has put us in a unique position,'" Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack said in a statement released by the school. "'The circumstances are different now than they were when he was named head-coach-in-waiting.'"

I'm so sure Hopkins departure really pushed Syracuse to extend JB.
