Of all the things that have happened to Washington State basketball the past few years, something that took place last Saturday at UCLA will remain in Tony Bennett's head.There was the 82-81 victory, of course. But when it was over, senior forward Daven Harmeling clambered up the steps at Pauley Pavilion and gave a hearty hug to his first college coach, Tony Bennett's father Dick.
"You should have seen Daven on the bench, just coaching [players] up, encouraging," Tony Bennett said earlier this week. "There's a bigger picture going on here."
Bennett would like to think Harmeling's actions, coming as he completes an exasperating senior season shooting only 18.8 percent in Pac-10 games and mostly confined to the bench, are representative of what the Bennetts have tried to bring to WSU.
