SEATTLE (AP) – Looking back after the most successful extended run in Washington’s history, the amazing part is that Lorenzo Romar was even in position to take the Huskies coaching job back in 2002.
It took three other high-profile candidates taking themselves out of consideration in the spring of 2002 before then-athletic director Barbara Hedges settled on Romar to try to lead the Huskies to some level of hoops respectability.
Now, as Romar begins year No. 10 in charge on Montlake with a roster that’s nearly half freshmen, expectations have grown to where anything less than an NCAA tournament appearance and contending for a conference title is a disappointment.
Pretty drastic change from when Romar arrived and the goal was simply making the Huskies relevant.
