Nick Koop was introduced as the voice of Husky men's basketball and the Director of Broadcasting at the University of Washington in October of 2026, taking the mic for the Dawgs ahead of the 2026-27 season.

"We're proud to welcome Nick Koop to Washington as our Director of Broadcasting and the new radio voice of Husky men's basketball," said Director of Athletics Pat Chun. "Nick brings extensive experience across college athletics, understands the responsibility that comes with this role, and will be a great addition as we continue to connect our fans with the people and programs that make Washington special."

He also currently has play-by-play duties on the Big Ten Network and FOX Sports, and has worked for the Pac-12 Network and Ivy League Network, with extensive experience in more than a dozen sports including soccer, baseball, softball, and gymnastics.
"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," said Koop. "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."
Born and raised in Roseville, Calif., Koop is a graduate of Boston University, starting his sports broadcasting career at Harvard on the Ivy League Network and NESN before returning to the West Coast in 2016 to begin stints with UCLA and Loyola Marymount.
