Chicago Bulls G-League Affiliate Reportedly Hires Washington Assistant
According to a report over the weekend one Washington Huskies men's basketball assistant is set to take on a new role with an NBA G-League franchise.
Quincy Pondexter, a former Washington Huskies assistant coach, is reportedly set to become the head coach of the Chicago Bulls' G-League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls. Pondexter, a standout player for the Huskies from 2006-10, returned to his alma mater for his second coaching stint prior to the 2025-26 season. Standing at 6-foot-7, Pondexter played for the Bulls during the 2017-18 season under coach Fred Hoiberg.
He has never held a head coaching position before, having entered the profession at UW in 2021 under Mike Hopkins. The Windy City Bulls, founded in 2016, have only two winning seasons and one playoff appearance in their existence, employing five different coaches during that time. Pondexter's appointment as the sixth coach for the team is seen as a gamble by both the Bulls and the Huskies, but one that both feel is necessary at the moment.
