Letter to the Editor: Give Coach Darrin Horn a chance

Basketball team needs support In response to Greg Meuli’s editorial in Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Gamecock, how do people think Darrin Horn is a bad coach? This past season was only Horn’s third. His first season included 22 wins and a co-SEC East regular season championship, and he led USC to its first win over a No. 1 team in the program’s history. Meuli mentions that numerous players have been released by Horn. It wasn’t mentioned, however, that Chad Gray and Mike Holmes were also kicked off Coastal Carolina’s team after continuing their collegiate careers, and that only two of the seven players released were actually Horn’s.

Gamecocks pull out comeback victory at WKU in double overtime Prior to USC’s contest against Western Kentucky, coach Darrin Horn expressed some concern about how his Gamecocks would match up against the Hilltoppers. “The scary thing about their team is they have a lot of guys that can really play,” said Horn, who called WKU home for much of his basketball career — playing for WKU from 1991-95 and coaching the Hilltoppers from 2003-08. “They’re undersized but athletic. Those guys can put it on the perimeter and score on the floor. It’s a tough place to play. It has been for 50 years. It’s exactly the kind of challenge that we need right now for our team.”
