Although the Blue Jays had a rough season in 1990, which led to Zimmerman resigning, I thought that Zimmerman did a fine job in his 7 years as Hopkins' coach. A lot of people point out that he inherited great talent, and that most of the players on his 1984, 1985, and 1987 title teams were ones that Henry Ciccarone recruited. That may have been true. However, throughout Zimmerman's years at Hopkins, Hopkins always look disciplined and so well-coached. In fact, they didn't often make many mistakes and bit teams heads off when THEY did.

At UMBC, as bluejayfan said, Zimmerman has done a good job at a school that is a hard sell for top talent. This was definitely the biggest win he has had at UMBC and definitely the biggest win UMBC's program has ever had. This is the first time they have ever been to the Quarterfinals. Congratulations, Zim and UMBC!
