I knew something was up when Tim Floyd was a no show at the Coaches Tour in San Diego yesterday. Today Coach Floyd resigned. At this point nothing is surprising when it comes to the USC basketball program. In a letter to athletic director Mike Garrett, Floyd wrote:

“As of 1 p.m. today, I am resigning as head basketball coach at the University of Southern California. I deeply appreciate the opportunity afforded me by the university, as well as the chance to know and work with some of the finest young men in college athletics. Unfortunately, I no longer feel I can offer the level of enthusiasm to my duties that is deserved by the university, my coaching staff, my players, their families, and the supporters of Southern Cal,” the letter said. “I always promised myself and my family that if I ever felt I could no longer give my full enthusiasm to a job, that I should leave it to others who could. I intend to contact my coaching staff and my players in coming days and weeks to tell them how much each of them means to me. I wish the best to USC and to my successor.”

Coach Floyd led the Trojans to 3 straight NCAA tournament appearances, 3 straight 20 plus win seasons and a Pac-10 tourney championship. All are firsts for USC basketball. TrojanWire has nothing but love for coach Floyd and we wish him the best. It is just a bad situation right now.
