The Search for a Coach at USC Begins Now

Yesterday we brought you the story of Tim Floyd, whose sudden resignation from his job as the head basketball coach at USC was brought about by allegations that he illegally gave representatives of O.J. Mayo cash and other gifts. Well, the firestorm of media attention is not going to settle anytime soon, not with the NBA draft so far away, and the college hoops world with nothing else to talk about. But what happens from here on out for USC fans. Well, first things first- they need a coach.  This time of year is actually somewhat busy for a college basketball coach, You’ve got to get your recruits lined up, do some housekeeping, work out the schedule for next year. There’s a lot of prep work that goes on, and right now the assistants at USC are probably scrambling.

So who do you think should take the USC job? This Sports Illustrated Truth and Rumors article suggests that some of the Los Angeles Lakers assistants would fit in perfectly. Some of the comments below suggest that former NBA coach Reggie Theus would be a good match, and some even think that a coach form another top college basketball program would be willing to jump ship for USC.
