Mark Trakh back as USC women’s basketball coach

The former USC and Pepperdine women’s basketball coach who led New Mexico State to NCAA berths the past three seasons is returning to USC, the school released in a statement Friday.

Trakh, 61, replaces Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, who resigned last month after four seasons at USC.

Said Trakh: “I’m excited to once again be a part of the great tradition at USC. The goal and expectation is always to get to the Final Four. I feel that there is a ton of potential in this team and I look forward to start working with them. I really want to reignite the tradition of excellence that we have at USC.
