Washington interviewed at MSU earlier this spring. He has a connection to the Spartans, as his father, Stan, played there from 1963-66. Washington is also from Lansing and graduated from J.W. Sexton High School in 1993.
Washington got his coaching start as an assistant under Nate Oats at Romulus High School, getting hired just after his college hoops playing career at Western Michigan in the ‘90s.
