Washington had long been rumored as the favorite to land Utah State head coach Danny Sprinkle to the same position but that was thrown up in the air last week when Athletic Director Troy Dannen abruptly left for Nebraska. In the end, the match made too much sense on all sides and Sprinkle has reportedly agreed to terms to become Washington’s next men’s basketball head coach. Jeff Goodman was the first to report the hire.
Sprinkle just concluded his 5th season as a head coach and has a 109-49 career record (.690 win percentage). He has been in contention for several national coach of the year awards after winning the Mountain West regular season title outright in his first season as the head coach of Utah State.
