USC is expected to hire Arkansas' Eric Musselman as its next head coach, sources told ESPN.
Musselman is coming off his worst season since arriving in Fayetteville in 2019, with the Razorbacks finishing 16-17 overall and 6-12 in SEC play, but he had led the program to back-to-back Elite Eights and a Sweet 16 appearance the previous three seasons. In 2020-21, Arkansas won 11 of its final 12 games to end the regular season and then advanced to the regional final before falling to eventual national champion Baylor.
Despite a revamped roster the following season, the Razorbacks won 14 of 16 to end the regular season and went all the way to the Elite Eight, where they lost to Duke. Last season, Arkansas struggled down the stretch of the season, but earned an 8-seed in the NCAA tournament. After beating Illinois in the first round, they beat top-seed Kansas in the second round to once again advance to the second weekend.
Musselman, the son of former NBA head coach Bill Musselman, has coached at different levels of the sport since 1989. He was the head coach of thefrom 2002-04, finishing as runner-up for NBA Coach of the Year in his first year at the helm, and thefor one season in 2006-07. He also spent time in the CBA, the USBL, the D-League and coached the Dominican Republic and Venezuela national teams.
