2015-2016 • 5 • USC BASKETBALL The completion of a dream...

For decades ofﬁ cials at the University of Southern California had a dream about creating a place where students, alumni, friends and community members could gather together to share the Trojan spirit. The long-awaited dream became a reality with the opening of the Galen Center for the 2006-07 season. Trojan fans can now watch their men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams compete in USC’s spectacular on-campus facility.

The Galen Center also hosts concerts, family shows and pageants, summer sports camps, commencement ceremonies, community gatherings, lectures and meetings, middle school and high school athletic events...and much more!

The center includes a 255,000-square-foot arena with 10,258 seats to support USC men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, and a 45,000-square-foot pavilion that includes four practice courts and ofﬁ ces.

2015-2016 • 7 • USC BASKETBALL JIM STERKEL COURT Jim Sterkel played center for USC during the 1956 and 1957 seasons, including winning the most improved player award as a senior when he averaged 9.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. Sterkel grew up in Alhambra, Calif. and attended Fullerton JC before transfering to USC for his junior and senior seasons. At Fullerton JC, he was an All-Southern California JC Center selection and ran the hurdles in track. His daughter Jill was the ﬁ rst female swimmer to qualify for four Olympic games, where she was multi-medal winner. She swam col- legiately at Texas and then coached at Texas following her swimming career. The naming of the court to honor Jim Sterkel was made possible by a donation from an anonymous classmate.

The late Lou Galen sitting in his customary baseline seat. It was through his generous donation that the dream of a new USC arena became a reality. The spectacular Galen Center arena bears his name for all his efforts.

PREVIOUS HOME COURTS:

Before the Galen Center opened for the 2007 campaign the Los Angeles Sports Arena had been USC’s home since the 1959 season, but it was not the only place USC has played home games. Due to sched- uling conﬂ icts and repairs due to earthquake damage, since 1959 USC has also played “home games” at Loyola Marymount, Los Angeles State College/Cal State L.A., Long Beach Arena, the Forum, Cal State Dominguez, the Lyon Center and Staples Center. USC played 22 “home games” away from the Sports Arena in the 23 seasons prior to the opening of the Galen Center. The Trojans have played home games in 13 places prior (according to records dating back to the 1927-28 season):

2015-2016 • 28 • USC BASKETBALL What others are saying about Andy Enﬁ eld...

Enﬁ eld is going to shake up the recruiting landscape out West and bring some credibility to a Trojans team that sorely needs it. His exciting brand of basketball meshes well in Southern California and he should be a huge hit in short order. Alex Kay, Bleacher Report

Enfi eld isn’t just a fl ash in the pan. He’s been at the NBA level. He owned his own company as a shot doctor. He was a shooting coach with the Milwaukee Bucks and a member of Rick Pitino’s staff in Boston. He has NBA connections. He was also an assistant coach at Florida State, which means he’s got experience recruiting to the high-major level. Perhaps the most important thing to note here is that FGCU became a full-fl edged Division I member on August 11, 2011. Within 15 months, Enfi eld had beaten Miami. Within 19 months, he had not only made the NCAA tournament, but he had reached the Sweet 16. Do you realize how diffi cult it is to start a program at the Division I level? Enfi eld’s brand of basketball is fun. It’s fun to watch and it’s fun to play. And when you’re competing against the Lak- ers, the Clippers (Lob City) and UCLA for fans — both in the seats and eyeballs on TV — in a town like LA, where sports aren’t exactly a priority, you need something that will attract fans. Rob Dauster, NBCSports.com

To talk to Enfi eld about his offense is to frequently hear the word freedom. Scoring with the coach acting like a facilitatior – not a dicta- tor – might be the blueprint for others to follow. Enfi eld’s summer practices feature players moving at game speed while being drilled in the fast break and offensive breadowns on all parts of the court. With another learning nugget from Enfi eld, players respond and practice hard in offensive-friendly environments. A.J. Moore, Basketball Times
