Not a shocker, USC had had a tough few years in the coaching dept. Asst. coach, Dan Hubbs will take over as interim HC.
Fanofgame may have some insight on this! And possibly an opinion, lol!
I guarantee you there are a LOT of college coaches and AD's that are more than a bit nervous about a high profile coach like Frank Cruz being suspended because his players may have spent more than the allowable number of hours on baseball. Pat Haden has no idea what a can of worms he could be opening.
Or maybe he does. Maybe, by making this public, he's trying to change the system nationwide.
Now if we could just get our football coach permanently suspended...
Key words here are, "directed or supervised by coaching staff".
Players/teams spend a lot more time in practice than allowed by the NCAA, but only a certain amount of hours can be with the coaching staff.
We will have to wait for details. But frankly all programs work around the NCAA rules including: Captains practices, bullpens throw with the coach outside the pen, mandatory weight training at early hours, pitchers throwing to batters with no more than three on the field with a line of kids outside changing positions....the list is endless.
High profile programs are there for a reason.
I removed my earlier post.I re read the article.It doesnt say the NCAA is investigating,it says compliance is investigating if he broke NCAA rules.Its an internal control measure.
