Cooper quits as USC women’s hoops coach

LOS ANGELES — Michael Cooper has quit as Southern California women’s basketball coach after four seasons.

Athletic director Pat Haden said Cooper resigned Wednesday, and a national search will be conducted for his replacement.

The Trojans went 11-20 this season and finished seventh in the Pac-12 with a 7-11 record. Cooper was 72-57 overall at USC, which has had eight coaching changes since 1976.

Haden says the women’s team should be competing for NCAA tournament bids on a consistent basis.
