Ken Bone’s future at WSU uncertain

From Pullman -- Ken Bone and the Washington State basketball team are aware of the uncertainty surrounding the coach's future at WSU. While Bone has two more years left on his contract, athletic director Bill Moos hinted before the season began that a coaching change could be made after the season if the Cougars didn't show improvement. 

Today Moos told the Spokesman-Review that while he has not contacted any prospective coaches, he is not yet ready to make a decision on whether or not Bone will be back next season.

Here is our story on Bone's uncertain future.

Moos also added that it is unlikely the Cougars make major upgrades to the basketball facilities, saying:

"That’s going to be a question the coach will ask in the event that I was interviewing someone. I don’t really think that ours are that bad, I think that our practice gym – we really did some great improvements to it. I continue to feel that Beasley is a good seating bowl, good sight lines. I do think however that it’s worn out and needs a facelift and we are in the process of addressing locker rooms and meeting rooms and training rooms, weight rooms etc.

And the addition of the video board and some of the branding we’ve done in there, I think we can put some more focus on upgrades and a little bit more sizzle in the branding and really the exterior. I don’t think we’re that bad in basketball."
