How Will Will Do?

Expect no sudden changes.  He is young, and relatively inexperienced in terms of head coaching a major NCAA basketball program.  In fact, his assistant coaching position with the University of Washington is his first soiree into the coaching of a basketball team.

    • Conroy had tried to make a go of keeping his basketball dream alive through a string of D-League and international basketball experiences, but his playing days ended in 2014.  For now, the role of Conroy will clearly be to help players through the transition.

    "“I can’t wait to start working with both the returning guys and our new group coming in,” said Conroy. “I’ve seen a lot of the incoming freshmen play since so many are from the Seattle area and they’re an extremely talented group. It’s a great class of very, very athletic guys that will be fun for Husky fans to watch and the fact that most of them are from here is going to be a great thing for our program.”"

    For now, steady as she goes.

    So what is the plan for the 2017 incoming class?

    Well, for now, there is not much to do but wait.
