In his search for a new men’s basketball head coach, University of San Diego Associate Vice President and Executive Director of Athletics Bill McGillis vowed to leave no stone unturned.

“It’s a wide-open search that’s not limited by number and not limited by profile,” McGillis said in an early March interview.

His best option for the position, however, ultimately came from within the Toreros’ locker room.

Last week , USD announced the hiring of one of their own — Sam Scholl — as the new head coach.
