Washington is looking into a 2019 incident in which head coach Jimmy Lake allegedly shoved a player into a locker. At the time of the incident, he was the defensive coordinator of the Huskies.
At halftime in a game against Arizona on Oct. 12, 2019, Washington was down 17–13 in Arizona. The defense was performing well while the offense struggled. Lake entered the locker room and began yelling at players before he shoved wide receiver Quinten Pounds into a locker, according to the Seattle Times's Mike Vorel.
The Seattle Times spoke to five eyewitnesses on the condition of anonymity who all tell different versions of the event, but they all largely overlap.
