Eastman steps down as WSU men’s hoops coach
uy JonnK. wuey
The Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash. — Washing
ton State men’s basketball coach
Kevin Eastman resigned Wednes
day, saying “common sense and
reality” dictated the move.
WSU athletic director Rick
Dickson made the announcement
a day after firing women’s basket
ball coach Harold Rhodes and four
days after the men’s team finished
the season in the Pacific-10 Con
ference cellar at 4-14.
"Emotion didn’t even play a
part in this thing... common sense
and reality did,” Eastman said of
his decision. "And reality is, re
cruiting would have been very dif
ficult under the circumstances,
and recruiting is the lifeblood of
any program.”
Dickson said he hoped to have
replacements announced for East
man and Rhodes around the time
of the men’s NCAA Final Four,
which begins March 27.
Eastman said he gave Dickson a
list of possible successors and ac
knowledged that Gonzaga head
coach Dan Monson was on it.
Dickson said he had not yet con
tacted any prospective coaches for
either job but had begun assem
bling a campus panel to help con
duct the searches.
Reached at the NCAA regional
tournament in Seattle, Monson
said he would assess his opportu
nities after the season ends.
“I don’t have any interest in any
job right now. I’ve got a great one,”
Monson said. "I love it at Gonza
ga. I haven’t thought of any other
job.”
Eastman, 43, said he resigned
rather than face the "heavy, heavy
scrutiny and maybe some crazi
ness” in the final year of a five
year contract that was extended
for a year after the Cougars’ 1996
NIT appearance.
He said he wanted to avoid
hurting the chances of his return
ing players because of poor re
cruiting.
“We were getting hit pretty hard
this year in recruiting,” he said.
“We were getting hammered big
time.”
Eastman said he called the
coaches or parents Tuesday night
of four prep recruits who commit
ted early to WSU to tell them of his
decision.
Dickson said Eastman agreed to
step down after a meeting Tues
day to evaluate the season.
“In that process, Kevin and I
came to the agreement on exactly
the status of our program and
where we were,” Dickson told a
news conference.
“I did not ask for his resignation,"
Dickson said. “At his estimation,
this was the best direction to go. ”
Eastman said the recent disap
pointments led to his decision.
“With some of the knocks we
took this year both on the floor
and in other areas, and what
maybe surrounds the program be
cause of those knocks, recruiting
would have been very difficult,”
he said.
“I want our guys to be very suc
cessful. I think we are quite close
to having the type of season we
would want to have. ... However,
we are not there yet.
“I think you have to really think
about those you’re leading, and I
think you have to make decisions
based on what's best for them,” he
said.
