Dominguez named permanent coach for WWU men's basketball

Tony Dominguez has received a permanent appointment as the Western Washington University men's basketball coach following four months as an interim appointee.

Nearing the mid-point of his first season at the helm, Dominguez has directed the Vikings, who are the defending NCAA Division II national champions, to a 12-0 record, first place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference standings and a No. 5 ranking nationally. The unbeaten start is the second longest in school history, behind only the 1971-72 season.
