Post 7 New year

This year at Washburn the athletic department had to do something they haven't done in almost 40 years. They had to hire a new mens Basketball coach. After coaching 38 seasons head coach Bob Chipman retired with over 800 wins landing him in the top 20 list of most wins by an NCAA coach. This was my first year at Washburn so it was my only year under this coach. The committee had a list of coaches and narrowed it down to a 5 for a visit and interview. Within a few weeks of interviews they made their decision. Coach Brett Ballard will be the new Washburn Head Mens Basketball coach. He is a local player around Kansas and actually playing part of his career at Kansas University. It is an exciting time for the program and he as brought a lot of new energy to the team that was missing from the previous coach. I personally think that next season will be better than this season.
