Oh, the tears—those were caused by brutal le...

He didn't invent the term student-athlete but for former Eastern Washington basketball coach Jerry Krause, one might think so because rare is the time it is not part of a conversation. Krause, 79, who "retired" as much as he knows how this past spring from active coaching, will still be connected to the game in a variety of ways, all of them in some form of teaching or mentoring. His career locally stretches nearly 50 years to 1967 when he took over a struggling Eastern...
