Standing amongst beaming lights, media members and both former and current players, freshly minted men’s basketball coach Danny Sprinkle had his introductory press conference this afternoon and said Washington is the place he always wanted to be. Typically those words come from a man looking to secure an early win in his tenure long before he coaches his first game. But things are different with Sprinkle.
A native of Pullman, Sprinkle was adamant that he doesn’t claim the city where Cougars roam. The son of former UW football player Bill Sprinkle, the new head coach recalled memories of leaving Montana State and Utah State games to catch Husky football.
