Floyd, USC basketball talk possible reunion

Tim Floyd has talked to USC about his old job as the Trojans’ coach. He is not necessarily headed back to Southern California.

Floyd, the coach at Iowa State from 1996-98 and now the coach at UTEP, met with athletic director Pat Haden about USC’s men’s basketball opening, UTEP athletic director Bob Stull said.

Floyd resigned from USC under accusations that he improperly recruited star O.J. Mayo. His successor, Kevin O’Neill, was fired in January after three mostly disappointing seasons.
