Eric Musselman was Colin Cowherd’s featured guest on Thursday’s edition of The Herd. The USC basketball coach participated in a 25-minute conversation which naturally covered a wide range of topics. Musselman explored the advantages of coaching in the Los Angeles market. He evaluated JuJu Watkins’ game as USC’s foremost sports — not just basketball — superstar.
Musselman shared tons of stories about basketball coaching and recruiting. He remembers how he evaluated both Vince Carter and De’Aaron Fox on the trail. Musselman has coached numerous NBA stars in his multi-decade career. One such star was Penny Hardaway, who — according to Musselman — was a pro basketball trend-setter in a very specific way.
Musselman shares his reflections on basketball icon Jerry West, who recently died. Musselman also remembers being an assistant coach under the legendary Chuck Daly, who won NBA and Olympic championships in his storied career. Musselman also includes some remembrances of Hubie Brown as a coach.
