Floyd files
Coach Floyd was a bit short with the media after Thursday's loss but was in a better mood Friday. He chatted us up about subjects ranging from his disastrous time with the Chicago Bulls to his aversion to computers. Don't expect to have Floyd ever read anything on this blog. He doesn't go on the Internet and said that, though he has a USC e-mail account, he has never used e-mail in his life.
Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time
at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight
run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the
school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era.
After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full
time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the
rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim
Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean,
he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School
in Woodland Hills.
