It's possible the legwork Washington State officials did in pursuing a new basketball coach at the Final Four in Detroit was only the undercard to the main event. Sunday, WSU interviewed both Portland State coach Ken Bone and Utah State coach Stew Morrill in Seattle, and those two appear to be among the top choices to succeed Tony Bennett, who abruptly left for Virginia last Monday. WSU athletic director Jim Sterk and two associates spent a couple of days in Detroit interviewing candidates, among them Mike Davis of Alabama-Birmingham, but the choice could come down to two veteran coaches who have had great success in their current jobs.

Both of those guys are solid choices. I might go with the guy from Utah St as they've been a bit more successful.

Shit. I thought this was CFB and you were smoking crack when you used 'successful' and 'Utah State' in the same sentence ---- even if you did preface it with the term 'slightly'.

Like you said the other day, it's pretty clear you don't read these little blurbs that you post. ;D Does Utah St even have football?

You know.....the two hand touch variety.

It's Ken Bone. I think that's a good move, he has a lot of ties to the Seattle area, which has a lot of hoops talent. He did a really solid job turning around PSU, I think he can have some success on the Palouse.

They were in the tourney last year as well, as a 16 seed. In Bone's first 2 years, they weren't, but he took over a pretty weak program and they did improve each year.
