Tim Floyd resigned as head coach of the USC basketball program, and SoCal Sports Hub put together a good piece about the real reasons behind his “resignation.”
1. Floyd didn’t resign because he lacked enthusiasm
In his resignation letter, Tim Floyd wrote that he no longer had the level of enthusiasm necessary to remain in coaching. Sorry, but if you actually believe that, than you are about as naive as a third grade schoolgirl. Are we really suppose to believe that Floyd was all of a sudden dispassionate about his job just after he had been complaining about his players’ departures to the pros and saying he wanted to build his own traditions at USC? Ya, right.
The notion that Floyd, who was well-known for his sideline antics, has all of a sudden become an apathetic old man is absolutely ridiculous. This is the same coach that nearly took a rebuilding job at Arizona and had been begging his players to stay at USC in order to make a run at the Final Four. Now, a month later, it seems rather odd than he would be suddenly disinterested in building a basketball program.

The program has been on the rise for a while now, but it’s unclear what kind of a tailspin Floyd’s departure will create. Half of his team is leaving to play pro ball, so with the NCAA watching closely, he was going to have a tough time reloading anyway.
