University of Washington Huskies Mike Hopkins Targeted USC’s Jason Hart and Cal’s Tim O’Toole. Reports now that Tim O’Toole remaining with California

When University of Washington Huskies Men’s Basketball team head coach Mike Hopkins traveled across the nation to assume the head coaching job for the University of Washington, there were many hurdles. Moving. Coaching. Players. Right now, filling out his coaching staff appears to be a bigger challenge than expected. Earlier the team failed to land Jason Hart, but recovered nicely in landing Cameron Dollar.

In that report, we identified Tim O’Toole as a risk. He took the job at the University of California because he was no longer interested in moving.  In the end, that adversity to starting over may have been the ultimate deciding factor.
