USC taps FGCU's Andy Enfield as next head coach - March Madness 2013 - Pete Thamel - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/-college-basketball-mens-tournament/news/20130401/andy-enfield-usc/)
Southern California has hired Florida Gulf Coast coach Andy Enfield to be its new head basketball coach, as SI.com originally reported Monday night.
Enfield led FGCU to the Round of 16 of the NCAA Tournament last week, a charmed run of fearless play that captured the nation for a week. Enfield became the biggest story in college basketball, as everything in his back story from his super model wife to his niche as a shooting specialist captivated America.
The tournament appearance was the first ever for FGCU, who only began competing in Division I athletics in 2011. Enfield amassed a 41-28 record at FGCU, including one Atlantic Sun Tournament championship in 2013.
Enfield came to FGCU from Florida State, where he served as an assistant to Leonard Hamilton, and also has significant experience as an NBA assistant coach.
He will replace Kevin O'Neill, who was fired after beginning the season 7-10. Long-time USC assistant Bob Cantu replaced O'Neill as the interim coach for the remainder of the season.
