Washington is finalizing a deal to hire Utah State's Danny Sprinkle as its next men's basketball coach.
Head coach Danny Sprinkle of the Utah State Aggies stares down an official in the first half against the San Jose State Spartans at the Dee Glen Spectrum on January 30, 2024 in Logan, Utah.
“It was going to take something special for me to leave Logan, and the University of Washington was it,” Sprinkle said in a statement. “The university means a great deal to our family and I am excited to return to my home state.”Sprinkle, 47, spent just one season at Utah State but it was a massively successful year. The Aggies went 28-7 and won the Mountain West regular-season title after being picked to finish ninth in the preseason poll.
Sprinkle will replace Mike Hopkins, who was let go with one year remaining on his contract. Hopkins spent seven seasons at Washington and made the NCAA Tournament only once.Hopkins’ tenure was defined by a frustrating stretch of mediocre results, an inability to put Washington back into the elite of the Pac-12 and with the Huskies moving to the Big Ten starting next season. Washington went 17-14 overall this season and finished 9-11 in Pac-12 play.
