Its finally over....

....Seems the Geving era has gone stale. Rumors going around Ken Bone might be done at WSU.....any chance we see him return?

The title of your post is spot on.

Just to clarify, is Geving's contract up after this season?

Wasn't he a five year deal?

Geving has one more year on this contract. I doubt they will buy him out, there just isn't enough money in the budget these days. Regarding Bone, he abandon the basketball program once and he would do it again. Really liked the way he allowed the basketball programs API to drop then leaves the mess to the new coach and athletic director. Read an article recently about the top donor at WSU wanting Bone fired and is being quite vocal about it.

Tied for last place in the fourth year as the head coach. Failure.

Record in 4 years at PSU: Overall: 52-70 (.426). Big Sky Conf: 27-41 (.397)

1996-98 Ritchie McKay 2 yrs 24-29 (.453) 2 16-16 (.500)
1998-02 Joel Sobotka 4 yrs 53-59 (.473) 28-34 (.452)
2002-05 Heath Schroyer 3 yrs 35-47 (.427) 19-23 (.452)
2005-09 Ken Bone 4 yrs 77-49 (.611) 39-23 (.629)

I would take Bone back in a second. Took PSU to the NCAAs twice Leaving PSU for a PAC-12 school paying 5x more isn't abandoning the program. I was pissed about the APR thing too but Bone would have fixed it if he had stayed. If Geving had any self respect, he would resign.
