A year ago at this time, I was pretty surprised that Donnie Marbut not only was being allowed to coach the WSU baseball team for another year, but that he also was having his contract rolled over.
Today, I find myself equally surprised that Bill Moos chose this moment to part with his 11-year coach.
This move would have made a lot more sense last May. Loaded with veterans and expected to at least seriously contend for a postseason berth, the Cougars instead were coming off their fourth straight non-winning season, never really in the NCAA tournament conversation.
