USC's Floyd to Arizona; Few to USC????

[LIONS90045]

Tim Floyd will be named basketball coach at Arizona, Mark Asher of Sports 620 KTAR, ESPN's radio affiliate in Phoenix, is reporting according to multiple sources.

Floyd is meeting tonight with Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood to work out the final details of the deal and an announcement is expected Thursday, according to sources.

Floyd, 55, has spent the last four seasons at USC with an 85-50 record. He led the Trojans to three NCAA tournament appearances -- including the Sweet 16 in 2007.

Floyd previously coached in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls in 1999-2002 and the New Orleans Hornets in 2004.

He was also the head coach at Iowa State, New Orleans and Idaho.

Lute Olson retired as coach at Arizona prior to the start of the season. Arizona advanced to the Sweet 16 with interim coach Russ Pennell.

Maybe Renaldo Sidney will ask for his release from USC to come to LMU (if he actually takes the SAT).

Could Few come to USC? My rumor!

They should have saved a few bucks and kept the interim coach. Anyone else not feeling the Floyd pick? But a weaker USC is better for our recruiting. Let's poach some of their players!

I have come to the conclusion Few will never leave gonzaga.

If Bayno was coaching, we would have gotten Rinardo Sidney and Xavier Henry (memphis commit) by now...

instead tomorrow we'll hear how Bayno was named USC head coach...

It will be interesting to see who USC goes after. Floyd was a great recruiter, all though a shady one. With a few winning season under our belt,recruiting for the top talent in LA might have just gotten a big easier.

One kid I would never want however good he is is Sidney. He would last about 20 minutes with Coach Good.

Go Lions

Floyd turned down AZ and Memphis. AZ has been turned down by everybody! They will probably go after Capel ( OU) or Miller
( Xavier) hard now.
