The Seattle Times writes about the challenges former EWU coach Paul Wulff has to deal with at Washington State...
Before coaching his first game, Wulff must deal with players arrested and scholarships lost. Wulff is paying for the past — for academic casualties under previous coach Bill Doba and for Doba's failure to hold players accountable for problems off the field.
Wulff's challenges hardly end there. Like all WSU coaches before, he must sell recruits on the merits of isolated Pullman — population 27,030. He must counter the take of Courtney Williams, an ex-defensive back from Los Angeles who left with academic problems.
"WSU is a hard school to go to, man," Williams says. "You ain't got nothin' to do but get drunk and smoke weed, and not go to class because you're too tired from doing what you're doing."
