Not like it's a huge shock, but it's awesome nonetheless:
Washington State University has a new basketball coach. Portland State’s Ken Bone accepted the position today, The Spokesman-Review has learned.
Ever wanted something for Christmas -- wanted it so bad that you begged and pleaded for it endlessly -- and then actually gotten it? That's what I feel like right now. I could not be more ecstatic that this guy is our next coach. Who cares that he's going to leave in three years? He'll do a hell of a job with the talent we already have assembled.
This almost completely takes the sting out of Tony Bennett leaving.
I said almost.
More later.
