Report: Utah State head coach Danny Sprinkle on the move

Utah State men’s basketball coach Danny Sprinkle is off to Washington after less than a year with the Aggies, according to ESPN.

In just over 11 months, Sprinkle rebuilt the Aggies’ entire roster and won the Mountain West conference outright. He secured the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory in 23 years against TCU to cap off a 28-win season.

Sprinkle returned to Logan on Sunday after a loss to No. 1 Purdue. By Monday morning, it was reported he was headed to the Big Ten.

While Sprinkle’s move to Seattle was expected, it continues a trend of losing coaches in Logan.

The last four head coaches since Stew Morrill have not spent more than three years on the job.

Tim Duryea was fired after three disappointing seasons. Craig Smith, Ryan Odom and Sprinkle all left for other head coaching jobs. Former interim athletic director Jerry Bovee was hopeful Sprinkle would stay longer last spring, but Sprinkle’s success put him in the discussion for national coach of the year awards.

At Washington, Sprinkle will take over a program that is transitioning from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten. The last time Washington made the NCAA Tournament was 2019.

Sprinkle has made the tournament each of the last three seasons, including twice with Montana State.

He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect...
