Kyle Smith, Stanford Agree to HC Contract After WSU's NCAA Tournament Bid

Stanford announced Monday it's hiring Kyle Smith from Washington State to be its next men's basketball coach.

ESPN's Pete Thamel and Jeff Borzello first reported the move.

Smith spent the past five seasons with the Cougars and leaves on the heels of his best year at the school. Washington State went 25-10 and reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2008.

"The opportunity to serve as the head men's basketball coach at Stanford is a dream come true, and I want to thank Bernard Muir for entrusting me with this opportunity," Smith said in the announcement.
