Prior to the start of the 2013 NCAA tournament, only hardcore basketball fans had heard of Florida Gulf Coast coach Andy Enfield. And those who did likely knew him as the coach who married a super model.
After back-to-back swashbuckling upsets of No. 3 Georgetown and No. 14 San Diego State in the opening weekend of that NCAA tournament, Enfield found himself coaching at Southern California. Not bad for a guy who didn’t even win the Atlantic Sun regular season title that year.
No time on the calendar can change a college basketball coach’s job paradigm quicker than March.
