Ernie Kent won’t return for a sixth season as Washington State’s men’s basketball coach, The Spokesman-Review learned Thursday through a source.
The search for a new coach will begin immediately, according to the source.
The Cougars went 11-21 overall and 4-15 in Kent’s fifth season in Pullman, finishing the year with the program’s largest ever loss in the Pac-12/10 Tournament – an 84-51 defeat to sixth-seeded Oregon Wednesday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
