Re: Coaching job security
Romar has been at Washington for 5 years, and is a good coach. He has Washington back on the map as a basketball power, although he had a down year in 2006-2007. His staff did get hit with NCAA sanctions once in that 5 year span, just barely missing being found guilty ofOriginally posted by Da Coach

In the end, the NCAA sanctions were NOT severe, and instead were pretty light- basically the loss of only one scholarship, and not one single player or coach missed a single game or practice.
Here is Romar's record.........

2003-2004 19-12, 12-6 in Pac-10, ,2-1 in Pac-10 Tournament
