After nine years (2009-17) at Garfield where he led the Seattle basketball powerhouse to a pair of state championships, Haskins joined Ernie Kent’s staff at Washington State.
Ed Haskins is loving his new job, but the transition from Garfield High boys basketball coach to Washington State men’s assistant would be a little nicer if not for his former players.
Last month, ex-Bulldogs star Brayon Blake scored a game-high 26 points to lead Idaho to a 91-64 win over the Cougars.
Last Saturday, former Bulldogs standout Jaylen Nowell tallied 15 points, including the final bucket to secure a 70-65 comeback win for Washington against its in-state rivals.
