Washington State: Bennett Likely to Announce Retirement



Bennett Likely to Announce Retirement: Washington State officials will hold a press conference Tuesday, and coach Dick Bennett will likely announce his intention to retire at the end of the season. His son Tony will become head coach as the elder Bennett chose Tony to be his successor a while ago. Bennett has been the Cougars’ coach since 2003 and has helped the team become competitive in the Pac-10. Bennett has 490 wins in his career, which includes stops at Wisconsin – Stevens Point, Wisconsin – Green Bay, Wisconsin and Washington State. The Cougars are 11-14 overall and 4-12 in Pac-10 play. Washington State likely won’t play in the NIT and will only reach the post-season if they win the Pac-10 Tournament. [2/27/06]
