Cougs Corner: WSU basketball coach David Riley. New look team. Changing landscape of college athletics. DNA of team?

November 5, 2024

This weeks Cougs Corner with Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes WSU basketball coach David Riley, who is preparing for his first season as the new Cougars head coach.  

Riley and Puck chat about the upcoming game on November 21 in Spokane featuring the Cougs and Eastern Washington. Proceeds of the gate will go and support the Cougar Collective.  

What will Cougar fans expect from this years team, in which it will look vastly different from a year ago under Kyle Smith.  One thing you will notice right away is a more up tempo offense that has a very European feel to it.   Riley goes through all the new players on the team and gives Puck a scouting report on each one.

They also get into the changing landscape of college athletics and that its geared more towards a younger coach, but the demands of a coach and his staff are vey different and it’s something that Riley hopes the NCAA can regulate in the future.
