Enfield took over a failing program, restored it to respectability in year 3, but it wasn't until year 8 that USC became elite. In his first six years, USC made the NCAA tournament twice with an overall record of 1-2. Also made it to the second round of the NIT another year. Don't know how many other schools with USC's ego would have stuck with Enfield, but he has a 5* and two 4* freshmen scheduled to arrive this fall. #1 class in the conference so far, #5 nationally.
Usc is the best team in the conference, by along shot.
