Nice guy who's in over his head. USC will never be a factor in the PAC 12, let alone nationally, until he's gone. Whether the administration cares, who knows. My guess, not so much.

Again, I think Trakh is a strong recruiter. If he was someone's assistant, I think it would be a great way to build community on the team. But at the head coach position, it doesn't seem like a great fit for a storied program like this one. If you had asked me a month ago when USC had beat WSU in Pullman if the team could make a run in the tournament, i would have definitely predicted some upsets coming. But, now, I don't see it likely making it past the first round of competition. It's such a bummer. Trakh is a good coach and I do think he shouldn't have been let go when he was during the first stint, but where USC is and where the other Pac-12 schools are now (Oregon, Oregon State, Arizona, for example), this isn't the place USC should be anymore.

On a side note, Rogers made the All Pac-12 Team and Pili and Sanders received honorable mentions. Oliver was an All Freshman honorable mention.

Thanks for posting the tweet about the all Pac12 performers. Here is the full story from the official site.

The all-conference selections are indicative that there is talent on this squad, not quite on a par with some of the other conference teams, but certainly not a team that should get destroyed in three straight games. I haven't checked, but I'm sure this is the worse three game stretch in USC women's basketball history. I can't imagine what the women who built this program must be thinking at this point.
