When Tom Izzo was at the EBYL Tournament in Indianapolis to scout 2025 power forward Niko Bundalo, Saddi Washington was apparently at his side. Izzo has said he wants to look at a handful of candidates, and it is unsure whether this is a foregone conclusion or if Izzo is checking out Washington's evaluation skills.
Washington was also apparently near or at Izzo's side for a basketball tournament in Texas. Believe it or not, although he was not a big man as a player, he has a penchant for working with big men and front court players.
Washington was an Assistant Coach for the University of Michigan, originally hired by John Beilein and retained by Juwan Howard.
Washington is also a native of Lansing, Michigan, and graduated from Lansing Sexton High School in 1994. and was offered by MSU and Jud Heathcote, but he chose to go to Western Michigan.
A two-time MAC All-Academic team (1997, '98) selection, Washington played in 102 games at WMU, finishing with 1,688 career points (16.5 ppg), 413 rebounds (4.0 rpg) and 258 assists (2.5 apg). He made 144 three-pointers and shot 78.0 percent on free throws (394-for-505).
Washington still ranks among Western Michigan's all-time top 10 in seven categories -- points (1,688; 6th), steals (173; 5th), minutes per game (32.7; 2nd), field goals made (575; 5th), field goal attempts (1,323; 5th), free throws made (394; 7th) and free throw attempts (505; 9th).
Washington also had a double major at WMU. Business Management & Marketing
Stay tuned! We will see what happens with this coaching vacancy...
