Mike Hopkins will not return as the head coach at Washington after just one NCAA Tournament appearance in seven seasons, the school announced Friday. Hopkins' tenure will end at the conclusion of the season and following a frustrating stretch of mediocre results, an inability to put Washington back into the elite of the Pac-12 and with the Huskies moving to the Big Ten starting next season. Hopkins had one year remaining on his contract and will be owed $3.1 million as part of his buyout.
But Hopkins' success was largely built on the backs of players recruited by previous Washington coach Lorenzo Romar. When Hopkins was tasked with building his own program, he struggled badly. He tried with one-and-done stars like Markelle Fultz, Isaiah Stewart and Jaden McDaniels. He tried with traditional high school recruits. He tried heavily via the transfer portal in his final two seasons. Nothing worked to the level expected.
