Professional basketball playing days behind him, Jon Brockman returns to Snohomish

To know Jon Brockman is to know farming is in his future.

“That is pretty dang accurate,” said Brockman, whose first passion remains basketball.

That’s why when the former University of Washington star center retired last March from playing professionally, he was back in a gym by fall to start a new season. Only now it’s as a volunteer coach for his alma mater’s boys basketball team in Snohomish.

“I don’t think I’m ever not going to be involved in basketball,” said Brockman, who’s close to purchasing a farm in the Snohomish area with his wife.
