Eric Musselman Completes Coaching Staff

Eric Musselman has completed his coaching staff by hiring former Washington assistant coach Quincy Pondexter. I wrote last month that Musselman wanted to hire Pondexter. He then changed his mind and wanted a coach with L.A. ties but got turned down by G League executive Pooh Jeter.

Last week, a high school recruit told me when Enfield told him that he was leaving for SMU, he said he didn’t want to move to the Big Ten. I’ve said that since USC decided to join the Big Ten. Enfield liked his cupcakes and didn’t want to deal with some … Continue reading USC Notes: Here’s One Guy Happy To Miss Big Ten
