Interim coach overcomes difficult season
Let’s make this clear: I want Joey James back as the head coach of the USD men’s basketball team. James is nearing the end of his “prove-it” season as interim coach of the Coyotes, and athletic director David Herbster will be deciding his fate in the not-too-distant future.
