FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR
Bob Cantu enters his seventh season with the USC men's basketball program, and his 12th overall at the collegiate level. In two seasons of working with Tim Floyd, the Trojans have gone 42-25, last year reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 with a school-record 25 wins and finishing the season ranked No. 15 in the final AP poll. Cantu, who has established himself as one of the premiere recruiters in the college game, played an instrumental role in signing one of the top recruiting classes in USC’s history. ESPN and Hoopscoop rated the Trojans' 2007 recruiting class as No. 1 in the country. Cantu has also been recognized by Hoopscoop as one of the top 25 assistant coaches in the country.
Cantu came to USC after a year-and-a-half of serving as an assistant coach at Sacramento State (2000-01). Here he signed one of the top classes in school history. Prior to USC, Cantu spent three seasons (1997-1999) as assistant coach at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, Calif. In his three years with the Cougars, the team averaged 23 wins and claimed a pair of Western State Conference titles.
Before his tenure at Cuesta, Cantu served (1996-1997) as a basketball administrative assistant at Cal Poly. Cantu also spent three seasons (1993-96) as the Head JV coach and varsity assistant coach at Mission Prep High in San Luis Obispo. He guided the Royals to three league championships. |
