This is not the first time David Crisp has been asked to run a team. It is, however, the most that’s ever been asked of him in the process.
Crisp doesn’t just get Washington (11-4, 1-1 Pac-12 Conference) set up to run plays. He has to create shots for others, log the most minutes of any player on the roster and set an example on a team that’s still learning from its first-year coach.
All of those reasons are why Huskies coach Mike Hopkins says the Tacoma native is one of the most important players he has.
