Washington is finalizing a deal to hire Utah State's Danny Sprinkle as its next men's basketball coach, per multiple reports Monday. The Huskies are hoping Sprinkle's success at smaller schools and lineage to the university can revitalize the program as it moves into the Big Ten starting next season. His expected hiring comes one day after Utah State was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament with a second-round loss to Purdue.
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. Hopkins was 118-106 overall, but just 62-72 in conference play during his time at Washington. Sprinkle will be walking into an odd situation without a permanent sitting athletic director.
