SEATTLE — When it’s pouring rain in the spring, the Washington Huskies move practices inside.

When it’s sunny at the start of practice but drizzly at times throughout, they tend to stay outside.

So Thursday’s practice was a chilly one.

It’s supposed to be a bit warmer on Saturday, when the Huskies plan to put on pads for the first time this spring. Day 2 involved more drill work but an uptick in 11-on-11 action, even if the contact is still at a minimum.

Here’s what to know about Thursday’s practice, plus some thoughts on a new contract for women’s basketball coach Tina Langley.
