UW Assistant Takes Over at Portland State

Ken Bone is taking over for the Vikings after 3 years at Washington. Coming from that program should help for recruiting along with PSU's regular season BSC title. It'll be interesting to see who they can pick up for next season. I have a hard time seeing PSU as a contender next year though.

:o :o Refresh my memory. Who graduated in addition to Mr Boxley? :o :o

:o :o Also it appears that there may be a new trend to bring in large numbers of new bodies and compete. Example bobcats last year and grizzlies and North Carlina next year maybe. Did not work at Indiana or NAU but maybe next year. :o :o

Takes a great coach to pull it off!! :D :D
 
Anyone have any information on why PSU didn't promote a Viking assistant? All hell would break loose at UM if we didn't promote the assistant after a successful head coach left.

Perhaps the assistant left too?

Or, perhaps the PSU administrators have the 'nads to search for the best candidate, something that rarely happens here.

I believe their top two assistants left, inclueding their top assistant going to Fresno State with their coach.
 
Grizly Assistants become Grizly Head Coach: Jim Brandenburg, Mike Montgomery, Stew Morril, Blaine Taylor, Don Holst. Nice run of homegrown coaches!
 
Brandenburg got in NCAA troubles and we had to forfeit much of a season. Where is he now? There was a sigh of relief when he left, although I will admit, there was a national search done when he was hired, but it was an inside deal from the get go - the selection committee was pre-selected to hire him.

If a national search had been done when Holst was hired, he still might of gotten the job but would have felt better about it. Who knows?
 
KB is high quality. Very good with X's and O's. Did a outstanding job at
Seattle Pacific. Look for him to upgrade PSU.
