EWU hoop coach Hayford
signs new five-year contract
CHENEY - After 10 seasons at nearby Whitworth and another four at Eastern Washington University, Eagle head men's basketball coach Jim Hayford isn't ready to leave any time soon.
The reigning Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year signed a new five-year agreement which will extend his contract at EWU through the 2019-20 season, Eastern athletic director Bill Chaves announced Thursday. The new five-year agreement will replace the contract Hayford signed a year ago before leading the Eagles to their best season (26-9) as a member of NCAA Division I.
Hayford took over an Eastern team four years ago that had been to the Big Sky Conference Tournament just once in five seasons, but this past year took the Eagles to new heights. Eastern won the league's regular season and tournament titles, and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history. Eastern had Division I program bests for wins overall (26), league victories (14), road record (11-6) and non-conference record (9-4).
Hayford is 66-63 in four seasons at EWU.
Since Eastern became a member of NCAA Division I in 1983, no Eastern coach has lasted longer than five years.
