“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to represent one of the richest traditions in college sports and one of the top universities in the world,” Koop said in a news release. “Washington has been blessed with great radio voices, and I’m grateful to follow in their footsteps. I’m excited to work with Coach Sprinkle and the men’s basketball program and share stories from all across UW Athletics. Thank you to the school and Learfield for entrusting me with this position. I look forward to earning the trust of you, the fans, as well. My family and I can’t wait to get settled in Seattle and become entrenched within the UW community.”
