Yep, been there since like 2013 after FGCU made that magical run. I've got a close buddy who lives in Manhattan Beach, is a USC alum, and is connected to some areas of the USC athletic department. I'm talking with him tomorrow and I'll see if I can find out any scoop.
Maybe they've grown tired of high recruiting rankings with little post-season results to show for it? No conference titles, no Pac12 Tourney Champs, and only one time out of the first weekend, making the Sweet 16 in 2021. A lot of 4/5 stars and not much to show for it. Or maybe the change in admin doesn't fit for him and he wants to bolt.
Sounds like he wasn't great at developing his talent to fit his team and had little to no NCAA success. Should have been fired after year 3 or 4. Lol.
