Washington State made an outstanding hire this week by announcing Oklahoma State assistant coach Marty Lees as its replacement for Donnie Marbut. Lees, of course, developed a stellar reputation during his time as an assistant for Pat Casey at Oregon State, and has now landed as the head man in Pullman, Wash., after a successful stint as an assistant on Josh Holliday’s Oklahoma State staff. Lees has a very good reputation as a recruiter, and certainly knows the lay of the land in the Pacific Northwest quite well. In terms of his staff, it might be wise to keep an eye on former Oregon State assistant and Texas Tech head coach and current New Mexico assistant coach Dan Spencer, whom Lees has strong ties to. Lees also has strong ties to Utah assistant Jason Hawkins, who previously served as an assistant at UC Santa Barbara. Overall, the Cougars should be very pleased with this hire.
