Sehome hires Brad Jackson as boys basketball coach

Sehome boys basketball has found its new coach.

Athletic director Colin Cushman announced the hiring of former Western Washington University men’s basketball head coach Brad Jackson as the new head coach of the Mariners.

He takes over after Skyler Gillispie announced his resignation at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season. 

Jackson was the head coach at Western for 27 years from 1985-2012 and is the all-time winningest coach in program history with 518 victories. The most notable of those wins was the 2012 NCAA Division II national title, the first and only championship in Western men’s basketball history. 

He was named the 2012 National Association of Basketball Coaches and Division II Bulletin National Coach of the Year.
