He played college basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels.[1] As a sophomore in 1972–73, the first year he was eligible to play for the varsity squad, he averaged over 12 points per game.[2] He broke his foot during the season, and coupled with academic under-performance, Washington decided to pursue his professional career instead of returning to North Carolina for his junior year.[2] He played a season in Switzerland before returning to the United States to play in the ABA for the Denver Nuggets and Utah Stars.[2]
