🔼 Celebrating A Legend. Washington State Athletics legend and Hall of Fame Basketball Coach George Raveling, who elevated the Cougar men's basketball program to national prominence during his time in Pullman, has passed away at the age of 88.

Raveling passed away peacefully, according to his family, via a statement posted on Raveling's X account, Tuesday morning.

"George Raveling was an iconic figure not just at Washington State, but throughout the world of athletics" said WSU Director of Athletics Anne McCoy. "George is a Hall-of-Famer in every sense, and his positive impact on the athletics history at Washington State will continue to resonate through those he came in contact with, including student-athletes, staff, fans and alumni. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time."

One of the winningest coaches in WSU basketball history, Raveling guided the Cougar hoop fortunes from 1972-1983. During his 11 years in Pullman, Raveling led WSU to two NCAA tournaments in 1980 and 1983.
