PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State head men's basketball head coach Kyle Smith announced Monday the promotion of Jim Shaw to Associate Head Coach. Shaw, the Cougars' most experienced veteran coach, has spent nearly three decades on the bench coaching some of the best programs in the country including spending the last two seasons alongside of Smith at WSU.
"It would be difficult to match Coach Shaw's enthusiasm and energy for coaching," said Smith. "Prior to coming on board two years ago, he built a powerhouse program at Western Oregon as Head Coach where he was a two-time NABC West region Coach of the Year in four years.
