Southern Methodist University in Dallas has officially named their new men's basketball coach, Director of Athletics Rick Hart announced today.
After about a week of rumors, USC head coach Andy Enfield has officially been announced as the new SMU Mustangs head coach. He's been the head coach of USC since 2013, racking up 220 wins.
"We are excited to announce Andy Enfield as Head Men's Basketball Coach at SMU," said Hart in a release from SMU. "Coach Enfield is enthusiastic about joining the Mustang family and the ACC. He has a strong track record of building winning teams on the court and in the classroom and pursuing championships with integrity. We believe he is a game changer for SMU Men's Basketball."
Enfield is known for being able to recruit blue-chip players including LeBron James' son, Bronny, who played at USC last season.
"I am so excited to join the SMU family," said Enfield. "It is an incredible time for the university as we enter the ACC. The investments SMU has made in athletics, the support and alignment from leadership - President Turner, Rick Hart, David Miller, and others - as well as the passion of the SMU fan base and community made this an incredibly attractive opportunity. We will make Mustang fans and the city of Dallas proud and cannot wait to get started."
SMU will introduce Enfield at a press conference in the Miller Event Center on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.
