Has been rumored for weeks but is now official. The old Dir Of Basketball OPS Joe HIllock was up for the womens job at CSUN, didn't get it, but took the job as head coach at Stoneridge Prep in So Cal(Taj Gibson etc from Stoneridge to USC in the past).
Nice to see Howland connecting with Bruins of the past. a few years ago Ed O'Bannon came out and said while he loved the success of UCLA under Howland, he personally wouldn't have wanted to play for Ben he didn't like the style of play. Ed and Edney are still very tight so maybe having Tyus on staff will change Ed's opinion, it is always a good thing to have alums saying good things about the current coaches. Edney can't recruit of course but he's young enough he could be really valuable in communicating with the kids on the current club maybe avoid some of the problems they had recently with Gordon and Morgan if they have someone like Edney to act as a go between.
And the best news is of course it means more airtime for the incredible 4.8 second dash to beat Missouri in 95.
