PULLMAN – Tim Marrion, who’s been a fixture for the Washington State men’s basketball program under its last two head coaches, has been elevated to assistant coach, the school announced Thursday.
Marrion had previously served as the program’s coordinator of basketball operations for the last two seasons. He fills a vacancy left by longtime WSU assistant Curtis Allen, who announced in March he’d accepted a position at Pepperdine, which reunites him with former Washington coach Lorenzo Romar and former WSU coach Ken Bone.
Kenny Tripp, the assistant coordinator of basketball operations, will now take over Marrion’s old position.
