The Washington Huskies have brought back a familiar face to fill their remaining assistant coaching vacancy by hiring Quincy Pondexter. The former Husky star joins Wyking Jones as new additions to the staff after Dave Rice and Cameron Dollar left the program.
This will be the first college coaching position for Q-Pon after a solid 9 year NBA career. He was drafted in the 1st round by Oklahoma City but was traded to New Orleans and then again to Memphis after his first season. He appeared in 15 playoff games averaging 9 points on 45% 3-pt shooting for a Memphis team desperate for floor spacing in the most prominent moments of his career.
