Eric Musselman, 60, is the head men's basketball coach at the University of Southern California. A native of Ashland, Ohio, and the son of longtime coach Bill Musselman, Eric arrived in Los Angeles after five successful seasons at Arkansas, where he led the Razorbacks to three consecutive NCAA Tournament runs that included two Elite Eight appearances and a Sweet Sixteen. Before that, Musselman guided Nevada to three straight NCAA berths, including a 2018 Sweet Sixteen. His path to the college game came after a long career in professional coaching, including head coaching stints with the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings and several years leading NBA and G League teams. Musselman joined the show from his home near the beach to talk about the program he’s building at USC, the lessons he carried over from the NBA, his relentless approach to roster construction in the transfer portal era, and how he navigates LA commutes.
