Cantu And Fresno State
USC assistant coach Bob Cantu's emerged as a candidate for the newly opened job at Fresno State. The timing could be right: He's been at USC for 10 seasons and part of six teams that went to the NCAA Tournament with nine players going to the NBA. He was the lead recruiter on DeMar DeRozan, Taj Gibson and Nikola Vucevic among others. In 2008, he was named one of the top 20 assistant coaches in the country by FoxSports.com.
He should be a candidate for the SC head coaching position.
Pat Haden should do whatever it takes to keep him at SC. Losing Bob would be like Curb Your Enthusiam without Larry's agent.
Those players came because of Tim Floyd. Cantu sure did a great job of keeping Derrick Williams, Solomon Hill, and Mo Mo Jones at USC after Floyd left the Trojans. Since he is single can travel day and night to scout players which was his main responsibility. Hope he gets the position with FSU!
Haden, aka Mr. Showboat, will do whatever gets him more PR. The ship is starting to go down.
Hire Brad Stevens please!
