Tim Floyd will be named basketball coach at Arizona, Mark Asher of Sports 620 KTAR, ESPN's radio affiliate in Phoenix, is reporting according to multiple sources.
Floyd is meeting tonight with Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood to work out the final details of the deal and an announcement is expected Thursday, according to sources.
Floyd, 55, has spent the last four seasons at USC with an 85-50 record. He led the Trojans to three NCAA tournament appearances -- including the Sweet 16 in 2007.
Floyd is not exactly who I expected, but to be honest, he's a good coach. 85-50 is a great record for four years and 3 tournament appearances in that time frame is really good. I wish him the best and I'll be in the Zona Zoo cheering him and the Wildcats on next year for sure.
UPDATE: So as you can probably see, the ESPN report has been changed because the speculation hasn't actually been confirmed. I repeat: Tim Floyd has not been confirmed as Arizona's coach. It's highly likely, but I'm still crossing my fingers just in case.
