USC hires Enfield as coach

         

  For the past couple of seasons, USC Men’s Basketball has been one of the worst teams in the PAC-12 Conference. Athletic Director Pat Haden wants to make basketball as relevant as football is on campus and his new coach might be exactly what he needs.

            USC hired former Florida Gulf Coast coach Andy Enfield last night and the deal is expected to be for six years according to sources. In just his second year at FGCU, Enfield led to the school to their first NCAA Tournament appearance. As if that wasn’t enough, FGCU became the first #15 seed to make it to the Sweet 16 after knocking off #2 Georgetown and #7 San Diego St. His team received the nickname “Dunk City” during the tournament for their flashy alley-oops.  

            USC had offensive struggles all year long and will hope that Enfield’s up-tempo offense will help the Trojans to succeed in the future. USC has not made the tournament since 2006-07 when they made the Sweet 16 under Tim Floyd.
