It's all over the Washington State University message boards that Jim Shaw (WOU head coach) will be hired this week as an assistant at WSU. I grew up and lived in that area for a long time and people I know up there on the Palouse also confirm it. Not official yet as neither is the announcement of another WSU asst., Derrick Phelps, who has been tweeting that he's recruiting for WSU.
If true, I hope WOU can hit it out of the park (or should I say slam dunk?) again on another hire. They've had two great back-to-back hires in Bergeson and Shaw and that's been the key to the rise of the program. I like the WOU A.D. and hope he can find another great one. I'm hoping not an inter-conference hire, something not too provincial. Shaw was an alum, but had been at a bunch of D-1 schools, including UW, Oklahoma, St. Mary's, Portland, Montana State, etc. Bergeson was an assistant at Sac State. Good coaches are everywhere, just have to find them. Bad coaches are everywhere, too, unfortunately.
* Wonder what's up with the Concordia search?
