Hoops shakeup in Washington state part of the new norm in college sports

On Monday, the course of college basketball in Washington state was altered for the foreseeable future.

Utah State head coach Danny Sprinkle is seen on the sidelines during the first half of a second-round college basketball game against Purdue in the NCAA Tournament, Sunday, March 24, 2024 in Indianapolis. . It will be Sprinkle's third coaching job in three seasons after leading his alma mater Montana State and then Utah State to the NCAA Tournament.

You can feel for the many WSU alums in western Washington in what's been an earth-shattering eight months or so watching the Pac-12 disintegrate, wonder what's next as the other leagues left the Cougs out in the cold, to finally get the bright spot of an NCAA Tournament win, only to lose the coach that took them there.
