USC women’s basketball has already undergone a significant roster overhaul this offseason. Now, the Trojans must make adjustments to their coaching staff, too.

On Friday, it was announced that assistant coach Wendale Farrow will be leaving USC to take a job on Dawn Staley’s staff at South Carolina. Farrow had been on Lindsay Gottlieb’s staff for all four of her years at USC. He had also previously worked with Gottlieb when she was the head coach at Cal.

Farrow’s departure is a notable loss for the Trojans. He was extremely popular in the locker room during his time at USC, and developed close relationships with many players. He is widely regarded as a strong recruiter. Weirdly, he helped recruit several high-profile players to USC, beating out Dawn Staley and South Carolina. Many will wonder why Farrow is making a lateral move, rather than going for a head coaching job to move up the ladder in his coaching career.

USC and South Carolina will face off next season on November 15 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, so Farrow will make his return to Los Angeles as an opponent in the fall.
