The Final "Horn" Blown for Hoops Coach at USC
According to TheBigSpur USC Athletics Director Eric Hyman has relieved USC Head Basketball Coach Darrin Horn of his duties at South Carolina coming on the heels of a 10-21 record, third straight losing season and fourth one-and-done in the SEC Tournament.
A 1:30 press conference has been called for the official announcement by USC.
In four seasons at South Carolina, Horn compiled a 60-63 overall record and 23-45 SEC Conference record. The Gamecocks were 4-26 in their last 30 SEC Conference games. Under Horn, Carolina was 0-4 in the SEC Basketball Tournament.
Coach Horn is currently under contract through March 2015 roughly $800k per season. Based on his contract figures, Horn is owed $2.4 million from USC but IMHO both sides will agree to an amicable divorce and walk away from this situation with both sides feeling good about the buyout.
The search for a new men's basketball coach will begin immediately and the prevailing name will be Wichita State's Greg Marshall, the former Winthrop University basketball coach. Marshall is a Greenwood, SC native and has made his intentions known his desire to coach at USC.
There will be multiple candidates for this job opening and my IMHO Greg Marshall will be one of the first phone calls if not the very first phone call made by Hyman.
I'll post more news as it beomes available.
