Given the success EWU’s women’s basketball team enjoyed last season, and given the fact the team’s entire coaching staff is back, it would seem improbable that the Eagles experienced as much roster turnover as they did this offseason. And while it’s not entirely a rebuild, the Eagles are looking to replace 85% of their scoring production from last season.

Next season’s roster is coming together for the Eastern Washington men’s basketball team.

Tanner Groves, the Spokane native and former Shadle Park standout who played three seasons at Eastern Washington, has signed a one-year deal with the Cairns Taipans of Australia’s National Basketball League.

Three decades into his coaching career, Dan Monson still leans on one of his closest basketball confidants whenever he’s in a bind.

With Dan Monson’s hiring at Eastern Washington, the Inland Northwest basketball environment further closed into a flat circle, a hoop, perhaps, with common elements woven and connected like nylon netting.

At first, Dan Monson misinterpreted the question.

In his first official appearance as Eastern Washington’s head men’s basketball coach, Dan Monson did plenty of reminiscing.

Almost exactly 25 years after taking a job that took him away from Spokane, Dan Monson has accepted one that’s bringing him back.

Nine days after David Riley left Eastern Washington to become Washington State’s basketball coach, the Eagles’ roster looks dramatically different than it did then, even as an announcement as to who will rebuild that roster becomes imminent.

What would Eastern Washington men’s basketball fans say if they were told that their search for a new basketball coach could land them a guy who just took his team to the NCAA Tournament?
