The NCAA is considering a number of rule-change proposals, the most significant of which would alter the way coaches communicate with players on the field.

PULLMAN – Few NCAA football coaches are likely to be less affected by a proposed NCAA rule change that would allow coaches to communicate electronically with players on the field than Mike Leach, but Washington State’s coach still says he’s supportive of the move. The NCAA football rules committee is trying to experiment with wireless communication, similar to the NFL where the quarterback and one defensive player have devices that allow them to communicate with coaches until there are 15 seconds left on the play clock.

PULLMAN – Washington State survived in Friday’s win over Arizona State despite a defense that continues to frustrate coach Ernie Kent. If anything can motivate the Cougars to make the correct help-side rotations and move their feet quicker perhaps it’s a visit from the country’s eighth-best shooting men’s basketball team. WSU’s best defensive performance of the season might not be enough to beat No. 7 Arizona today, but it’s a prerequisite to even having a shot against the 16-point favorite.

George Raveling, the first African-American head coach in Pac-12 history, was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday as a contributor.

We covered Dexter Kernich-Drew's big night pretty extensively in our game story. But another player made a big impact in WSU's 74-71 win over the Sun Devils.

Dexter Kernich-Drew started for the first time since late November on Sunday and responded with the best game of his career.

PULLMAN—Throughout Friday’s game Dexter Kernich-Drew buried shots that surprised the fans who had more or less written off the senior’s dwindling career as one of little and infrequent impact. But none came close to the shock inspired by a deep bucket the senior Aussie buried with the shot clock winding down and momentum turning against his team in the best game of Kernich-Drew’s career.

PULLMAN — Dexter Kernich-Drew, making his first start since Nov. 27, scored a career-high 27 points to lead Washington State past Arizona State, 74-71, Friday night.

Less than a year after joining the Washington State football program as an offensive analyst, Graham Harrell is the Cougars’ new outside receivers coach. Mike Leach announced on Thursday that Harrell would fill the assistant coaching position vacated when Dennis Simmons took a coaching position at Oklahoma.

As a player at Texas Tech, Graham Harrell threw an NCAA-record 134 touchdown passes in Mike Leach's offense.

Maybe you changed the channel pretty quickly yesterday. Or maybe you're the type that couldn't tear yourself away from the wreckage. Either way, you'll probably want to read this post with your eyes closed.
