Per Percy Allen at the Seattle Times, Jen Cohen announced today that Washington men’s basketball head coach Mike Hopkins will return for the 2023-24 season despite rampant speculation following a disappointing year. The Huskies finished 16-16 (8-12) and 8th in the Pac-12 conference including a 1st round exit in the Pac-12 tournament as part of a 3-game losing streak to conclude the season.
Mike Hopkins has two years remaining on his contract worth a combined $6.3 million. He gets that money as long as he’s not fired for cause or chooses to leave for a different head basketball coaching job.
