The University of Idaho men’s basketball team went through significant changes this season with several roster changes, a new head coach and an unpredictable outcome for how the season would play out.
The Vandals finished the year with an 8-24 record, an improvement from their 5-27 record in the 2018-19 campaign.
After the Vandals parted ways with former head coach Don Verlin, assistant coach Zac Claus was named the interim head coach going into the 2019-20 season. Claus had new challenges with a new team.
“First, it was making sure we had a full roster. It was a matter of trying to put together the best possible roster that we could and then trying to get that group as a whole to work together and keep competing on a daily basis,” Claus said.
