Darcel McBath, who last season served as Washington State’s defensive quality control assistant, has been elevated to assistant coach, head coach Mike Leach announced Tuesday.
“Darcel is a great coach who played a big role in our defensive success last season,” said Leach. “Darcel is very technical in his teaching, and relates well to our players.”
McBath’s promotion comes on the same day NCAA programs are permitted to hire a 10th assistant.
McBath, who played for Leach at Texas Tech from 2004-08, spent the 2017 season working on the defensive side of the ball, specifically with Alex Grinch and the defensive backs.
