Lorenzo Romar breaks down 2016-17 Washington men’s basketball team

UW coach gets candid about past recruiting mistakes and recent successes. He likens freshman phenom Markelle Fultz to former UW standout Isaiah Thomas and explains why Donaven Dorsey transferred.

Lorenzo Romar turns 58 on November 13 – the day Washington plays its regular-season opener. It’s his 15th season with the Huskies – one more than his mentor Marv Harshman.

These are interesting times for Romar.

He’s the only coach of a major conference men’s basketball team who has missed the NCAA tournament the past five years and remains at his current school.
