UW Coaching Search

But for the permanent job? The University of Washington Husky athletic department has already begun a national search for the next head coach.  Cohen was confident that the search would result in finding someone with

"“passion for developing young men on and off the court, a high standard of excellence, and the energy passion and plan to inspire a winning culture.”"

But since we are not sitting in the meeting rooms, Let’s see if I can’t list off some possible names as Washington Husky head coach prospects:
