Michigan State basketball announces hire of former Michigan assistant coach to staff

After a few months of speculation, Michigan State basketball has made it official. The Spartans will bring Saddi Washington, a Lansing native, back to his hometown, after he has been in Ann Arbor on the Michigan basketball staff since 2016.

To me, this is a great hire by the Spartans. Washington played for Western Michigan back in the 1990s before he started as a volunteer coach under current Alabama head coach Nate Oats (who has also been linked as a future Tom Izzo replacement as MSU) at Romulus High School. Washington then spent 10 years with Oakland as an assistant and associate head coach, before joining Michigan’s staff in 2016.
