Mike Hopkins to Depart as Washington's Head Coach After Season

The University of Washington announced that Mike Hopkins will not return as the men's basketball head coach following a tenure marked by limited success.

Mike Hopkins will conclude his role as Washington's head coach at the end of the season, after seven seasons with the team.
Hopkins' departure comes after just one NCAA Tournament appearance and a record of 118-105 overall, including 62-72 in conference play.
The decision follows a period of underperformance, with the Huskies finishing the regular season at 17-14 overall and 9-11 in the Pac-12.
Washington is set to move to the Big Ten next season, prompting a search for a new head coach with experience to lead the transition.
Hopkins will be owed $3.1 million as part of his buyout, with one year remaining on his contract.
