Breaking: Kyle Smith has agreed to become the next head coach at Stanford, source tells CBS Sports.
Here's the @CBSSportsCBB story on the Cardinal hiring Washington State coach Kyle Smith. Stanford is banking on Smith to be the guy to navigate an especially steep new path into the ACC. cbssports.com/college-basket…
@MattNorlander I think this is less about what Stanford was offering and more about what WSU was unable to offer him. I think Pat Chun has his hands tied. Until the revenue situation gets worked out, we can see more of the same in the future.
@MattNorlander Good that he can get back to his head coaching roots of an east coast conference.
@MattNorlander Wow I had a feeling he would leave but for STANFORD? That’s a sorry program taking zero money in a dying conference.
@MattNorlander Wow. That’s a dead program. Fascinating decision.
@MattNorlander He does realize that it is easier to recruit at WSU than Stanford. Stanford you have get the athlete admitted into the school before you can offer a scholarship.
