Washington Husky basketball coach Mike Hopkins got a $15,000 bonus for being named PAC-12 Coach of the Year. The coach says he’ll share his good fortune with Husky fans. Hopkins will be at the Starbucks in Seattle’s U-Village from 2-3PM tomorrow giving out $15,000 worth of $12 dollar gift cards.

“It was a great honor to be named Pac-12 Coach of the Year, but the reality is this is a tribute to our entire team, our program and the University community,” Hopkins said. “I wouldn’t have won this award without such incredible support, so I wanted to give back to some of the many important people who have made this a memorable first season possible, and have welcomed me and my family into this incredible Seattle community.”
