Coug Coach Bennett Jumps to University of Virginia

If Tony Bennett leaves his heart in Pullman, it'll be because an enraged Coug fan spotted him, carved it out, and stuck it on a wall as a warning. WSU basketball coach Bennett, the only man to take the perennially terrible Cougars to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16, is now head coach at the University of Virginia. Writes the Spokane Spokesman-Review's Vince Grippi: "The players are shocked, the administration is shocked, the assistant coaches are shocked." Writes Jeff Nusser of CougCenter: "All that stuff about Tony loving Pullman and wanting to build something special? About asking the administration for seven years? Apparently, it was all a bunch of s***."
