Sometime last year after Pat Chun stopped by the 710 ESPN Seattle studios to be interviewed on our show, I asked the new Washington State athletic director what he planned to do about the foundering basketball team. He said he was going to give head coach Ernie Kent another year.

I was disappointed to hear that, pretty much feeling like Kent was not going to turn the program around in his fifth year if he hadn’t shown progress in his first four years.
