Washington Huskies ****** istant coach Quincy Pondexter is reportedly set to become the head coach of the Chicago Bulls' NBA G-League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.
Pondexter, a standout on the court for the Huskies from 2006-10 who returned for his second coaching stint at his alma mater prior to the 2025-26 season, is expected to be hired as the Windy City Bulls' next coach, according to a report on Sunday.
The 6-foot-7 former forward from Fresno, California, played for the Bulls during the 2017-18 season under coach Fred Hoiberg, who has since returned to the college ranks as Nebraska's head coach. Pondexter has never been a head coach since entering the profession at UW in 2021 under former coach Mike Hopkins.
As of Monday afternoon, neither UW nor the Windy City Bulls confirmed the report of Pondexter being hired to replace former coach Billy Donovan III, the son of two-time NCAA champion Billy Donovan.
Founded in 2016, the NBA G-League franchise has only two winning seasons—the first in 2018-19 and the last in 2022-23—and one playoff appearance while employing five different coaches during that stretch. With Pondexter set to be the sixth coach to lead the team, it's a gamble on both sides, but one each feels now is the right time to take.
