Danny Sprinkle has been a life-long fan of the Washington Huskies since his father played football for the school in the 1960s. Sprinkle now gets the chance to run the school's basketball program and is thrilled for the opportunity.
New Washington Huskies basketball coach Danny Sprinkle was still trying on Wednesday to process the reality that he's now going to be coaching the school he grew up rooting for from Montana.Sprinkle was introduced as the new head basketball coach after spending just one season at Utah State, where he took the Aggies to the second round of the NCAA Tournament this past weekend. Sprinkle couldn't even get through the first sentences of his opening remarks without getting choked up.
"Sprinkle takes over the program after the departure of Mike Hopkins, who was relieved of his duties as head coach at the end of the season after seven years with the Huskies.Hopkins, 54, was twice named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year in his first two seasons heading the program. The Huskies made it to the second round of the NIT in Hopkins’ first season in 2017-18, and followed that up with a Pac-12 regular season conference title following a 27-9 season in 2018-19.
