USCs basketball coach Tim Floyd calls bluff on the Arizona Wildcats

USC’s Basketball coach Tim Floyd visit with Arizona Athletic Director Jim Livengood provides the college basketball world with a good old fashion, western storyline.

Tim Floyd, his old sheriff Mike Garrett, and the new visiting sheriff Jim Livengood will debate, count their cash, and at the end, we’ll see if Tim Floyd was won over by the man from the Arizona desert.

Tim Floyd’s decision to look into other coaching options could not have come at a worse time for the Trojan’s basketball team.

The USC’s basketball program was moving forward on all its cylinders:

2008-09 Season

(1) Pac-10 Tournament Champion
(2) USC make it to the NCAA tournament as a ten seed.
(3) In their first round match up, beat a stunned Boston College team.
(4) In their second round game; they played well, and lost a close game against a very good Michigan State Spartans team.

Veterans Coming Back

(6) Demar Derozan, Taj Gibson, and Daniel Hackett were mostly likely going to stay another year, and not enter the NBA draft.

Fresh, New Talent

(7) Solomon Hill, Reynaldo Sydney, Noel Johnson, and Derrick Williams are all a part of the 2009 recruiting class which is the best Trojan’s recruiting class to date.

Momentum

USC could build on the momentum from their hard fought game against the Spartans.
