Hopson Joins Falcon Hoops Staff

The Falcons have announced that Dennis Hopson will join the team's coaching staff. He comes to BG after being an assistant for Rollie Massimino somewhere in Florida.

Anyhow, this has been rumored for a long time. It is very good news. He is a Toledo native, and was a professional basketball player for 13 seasons, six in the NBA. He was also a great college player, and has an NBA Championship ring...which might play well in the living room of a recruit.

Here's is what Coach Orr had to say....

"Dennis has been where they are and also where they want to go. He’s very organized in his thoughts and his direction. He understands the game and can teach the game. He’s skilled in the areas you need to be skilled in to be a productive collegiate basketball coach today.”

Welcome to the Falcon family, Dennis. We look forward to your contribution to championships for the orange and brown!

(PS, I hear there will be some more good basketball news coming in a day or so).
