Holbrook facing heat as storied Gamecocks falter

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Chad Holbrook is confident he's the coach to lead South Carolina back to its NCAA Tournament success, despite missing the postseason for a second time in three seasons.

"I met with the team," Holbrook said Tuesday. "We're making progress and making plans to make sure that this doesn't happen again in 2018."

Because it has already happened twice in Holbrook's five seasons has led to questions about his tenure.

Holbrook was the hand-picked successor in July 2012 for and by Ray Tanner, who was leaving as the Gamecocks baseball coach after national titles in 2010 and 2011 to become its athletic director.
