After leading the Cougars to their best season in recent years, Washington State head coach Kyle Smith is headed to the ACC.
Smith struck a deal to become Stanford’s next head coach on Monday, the school announced. Smith, who was named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year this season, will take over for Jerod Haase at Stanford as the program prepares to join the ACC next season. Specifics of his deal are not yet known.
“The opportunity to serve as the head men’s basketball coach at Stanford is a dream come true, and I want to thank Bernard Muir for entrusting me with this opportunity,” Smith said in a statement.
