At a critical crossroads for its men’s hoops program, USC announced it has tapped Arkansas coach Eric Musselman to guide the Trojans into a new conference and a new era, after the last one ended with a thud.
Musselman interviewed with USC on Wednesday, just two days after Andy Enfield left USC for the same role at Southern Methodist after 11 seasons, five NCAA tournament appearances and 220 wins in L.A., the third-most in school history.
Few college coaches can match what Musselman managed in his short tenure at Arkansas, a program that languished for two decades in the middle of the Southeastern Conference.
