Good foundation
The first order of business was simply not to rush ahead. The team needed a new coaching staff right off the bat. And the team needed to replace the defections with new players. But first and foremost, Coach Hopkins needed the right coaches. So that is what he did. He picked up assistant coach Cameron Dollar from Seattle University. He retained assistant coach Will Conroy from Lorenzo Romar‘s staff.
The team filled the final vacancy among the coaching ranks by hiring assistant coach David Rice. And with the news, the team solidified the x’s and o’s coaching, plus landed solid recruiters.
So, Mike Hopkins’ staff at Washington is Cameron Dollar, Dave Rice and Will Conroy.
