Ex-Zag Dickau Runs Barber Shop

Former Gonzaga University point guard Dan Dickau, whose long hair and curls were a trademark during his playing days, is now running his own barbershop. After six seasons in the NBA, Dickau hung up his shoes in 2011. Last fall, he and his wife moved to Spokane from Vancouver, Wash., their hometown. Dickau, 34, said he’s focused now on developing the skills of an entrepreneur, planning to grow his new business in the town where he wowed fans with his shooting and defense. The Barbers, which Dickau opened last week at 9331 N. Newport Highway, is his first try at operating a franchise. His one previous business venture, a for-profit basketball camp in Vancouver, lasted about a year/Tom Sowa, SR. More here.
