PULLMAN – Jim Hayford is busy building a foundation for the Seattle U program he inherited in March, but that hasn’t come at the cost of keeping tabs on the Eastern Washington he presided over for six years.
You can bet Hayford had both pupils glued to the television Tuesday night when the Eagles bucked Stanford 67-61 at Palo Alto’s Maples Pavilion for the first big win of the Shantay Legans era in Cheney.
“So proud of them, so proud of them,” Hayford said Wednesday after his Redhawks suffered a 75-59 loss to Washington State in Pullman.
