Former USC coach brings NCAA tournament experience and a history of developing NBA talent to SMU's basketball program.

Andy Enfield, former USC men's basketball head coach, has been hired by SMU to lead the Mustangs as they join the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
Enfield brings a strong track record to SMU, with five NCAA tournament appearances during his tenure at USC, including an Elite Eight run in 2021.
SMU fired its previous coach, Rob Lanier, after a 20-13 season, seeking a high-profile hire as they transition to the ACC.
Under Enfield's leadership, USC developed several NBA talents, including Evan Mobley and Onyeka Okongwu.
SMU aims to elevate its basketball program and make an impact in the ACC, with Enfield expressing excitement about joining the Mustang family and the opportunities ahead.
