Tim Floyd turns down Arizona

Tim Floyd has turned down an offer to coach at Arizona to stay with the USC Trojans.
“We’re obviously delighted that coach Floyd is staying,” USC athletic director Mike Garrett said. “He has done historic things at USC in his short time, getting us to three consecutive NCAA playoffs and winning 20 games for three straight years and capturing the Pac-10 tournament title this year. And the future is very bright here under Tim’s direction.”
Even though Floyd has shown USC that he is committed to stay with them for the long haul they still haven’t offered him an extension.
“I have three years left on my contract,” he said. “No, there have not been any changes made that I am aware of. I would like another year or two. I think that would be great. I would like for this to be my last job.”
Do the right thing USC, give the man a long-term deal.
