The Basketball Coaching Carousel Continues
One thing I emphasized when Eric Musselman got hired was that he burns through assistant coaches. Back in January I wrote about “rumblings” about staff changes. Well, assistant coach Quincy Pondexter is not returning next season. Musselman has wanted an assistant with L.A. ties but struck out with candidates like Eugene “Pooh” Jeter, who is currently assistant general manager of the Portland G League team. … Continue reading The Basketball Coaching Carousel Continues

And especially after losing … Continue reading Three New Players For Basketball But What Does It Mean?
Just Another Busy Saturday For USC
Four-star running back Deshonne Redeaux of Oaks Christian High School committed to USC today. Among the schools he had offers from were Georgia, Alabama and Notre Dame. He averaged 126 yards rushing per game and scored 18 touchdowns last season.
