'''Timothy Fitzpatrick Floyd'''<ref>{{cite news|last=Downey|first=Mike|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-03-17-sp-39194-story.html|title=You're Bullish on Tim Who?|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=March 17, 1997|access-date=September 17, 2024}}</ref> (born February 25, 1954) is a former American [[college basketball]] coach, most recently the head coach at the [[UTEP Miners men's basketball|University of Texas at El Paso]] (UTEP). He was formerly the head coach of several teams in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] and the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]]. Floyd is also known as the coach of the [[Chicago Bulls]] for four seasons. He announced his retirement from coaching after the UTEP game on November 27, 2017.<ref>[http://www.coachesdatabase.com/utep-tim-floyd-retires/ UTEP coach Tim Floyd abruptly retires after loss], CoachesDatabase.com, November 28, 2017.</ref>

==Personal life==
Born in [[Hattiesburg, Mississippi]], Floyd is a 1977 graduate of [[Louisiana Tech University]] where he earned a [[Bachelor of Science]] [[academic degree|degree]] in health and [[physical education]]. He originally was a walk-on player at the [[Southern Miss Golden Eagles basketball|University of Southern Mississippi]] in Hattiesburg, but he transferred to Louisiana Tech in [[Ruston, Louisiana|Ruston]] and was a [[scholarship]] player there.  His father, who was also a coach, died when Floyd was 18.

Floyd and wife Beverly have one daughter, Shannon. Shannon married [[Chicago Bears]] player [[Hunter Hillenmeyer]] in 2008.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tennessean-marriage-of-floyd-hille/133524674/|title=Hillenmeyer, Floyd|newspaper=[[The Tennessean]]|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=September 25, 2008|access-date=September 17, 2024}}</ref>

In November 2009, a video surfaced on YouTube depicting Floyd breaking up a fight in the food court of a casino in [[Palm Desert, California]].  Floyd confirmed the video's accuracy, telling ESPN.com that "I was leaving and then this thing happened in the food court", referring to the fight.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=4623805|title=Ex-USC coach Floyd breaks up casino fight|date=2009-11-05|website=ESPN.com|language=en|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref>

==Coaching career==

=== University of Texas at El Paso ===
Floyd's first coaching job was as an assistant at [[UTEP Miners men's basketball|UTEP]] under [[Basketball Hall of Fame|Hall of Famer]] [[Don Haskins]] from 1977 to 1986. While Floyd was at UTEP, the Miners went to three straight [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA Tournaments]] (from [[1984 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1984]] to [[1986 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1986]]). They also went to the [[National Invitation Tournament|NIT]] three times ([[1980 National Invitation Tournament|1980]], [[1981 National Invitation Tournament|1981]], [[1983 National Invitation Tournament|1983]]) and won four [[Western Athletic Conference]] championships in those years.

===University of Idaho===
Floyd's first assignment as a [[head coach]] came at the [[Idaho Vandals men's basketball|University of Idaho]] in [[Moscow, Idaho|Moscow]]; hired in March 1986,<ref name=ergisfl>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=OtxVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LeEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2029%2C5801032 |work=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon) |agency=Associated Press |title=Idaho selects Floyd for basketball coach |date=March 23, 1986 |page=7B}}</ref><ref name=rlsteal>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=LetWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zfkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7162%2C1911656 |work=Spokane Chronicle |location=(Washington) |last=Devlin |first=Vince |title=Vandals feel landing 'finest assistant' was a real steal |date=March 24, 1986 |page=C2}}</ref> he succeeded [[Bill Trumbo]], who finished last in the [[Big Sky Conference|Big Sky conference]] in each of his three seasons.<ref name=gom86bbc>{{cite web |url=https://issuu.com/uidahodigital/docs/gem1986/144 |publisher=Gem of the Mountains, University of Idaho yearbook |title=Basketball: Coach |year=1986 |page=140}}</ref><ref name=clohve>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=l7ISAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wfkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7021%2C2071659 |work=Spokane Daily Chronicle |location=(Washington) |last=Devlin |first=Vince |title=Close shaves cut Trumbo from UI |date=March 11, 1986 |page=B1}}</ref> Floyd coached the Vandals for two years;<ref name=gom87bb>{{cite web |url=https://issuu.com/uidahodigital/docs/gem1987/206 |publisher=Gem of the Mountains, University of Idaho yearbook |title=Basketball |year=1987 |page=202}}</ref><ref name=gom88bb>{{cite web |url=https://issuu.com/uidahodigital/docs/gem1988/214 |publisher=Gem of the Mountains, University of Idaho yearbook |title=Basketball |year=1988 |page=210}}</ref> in his first season, the Vandals posted their first winning record since alumnus [[Don Monson]] left for [[Oregon Ducks men's basketball|Oregon]] after the {{nowrap|20–9}} [[1982–83 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team|1983]] season.  The next season, they were the regular season runner-up, their best result since [[1981–82 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team|1982]]. (After Floyd's 1988 departure, assistant [[Kermit Davis]] was promoted to head coach and Idaho won the conference title in [[1989 Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournament|1989]] and [[1990 Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournament|1990]].)

===University of New Orleans===
At the [[New Orleans Privateers men's basketball|University of New Orleans]], Floyd tallied a {{winning percentage|127|58|record=y}} mark in six seasons as [[head coach]]. During his tenure, the Privateers advanced to postseason play five times, including two NCAA Tournament appearances in [[1991 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1991]] and [[1993 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1993]] and the [[National Invitation Tournament|NIT]] three times. At UNO, Floyd averaged 21 wins a season; he is one of only four [[NCAA Division I|Division I]] coaches who have won four conference championships in the first five years at their school. In his final season at New Orleans in 1994, the team finished {{nowrap|20–10.}} Floyd reached the 20-win plateau for the sixth time in eight seasons, and UNO made its seventh postseason appearance in eight years.

===Iowa State University===
Floyd was hired at [[Iowa State Cyclones men's basketball|Iowa State University]] in May 1994 as the 15th basketball coach in ISU history. In his four years at ISU, Floyd posted an {{winning percentage|81|49|record=y}} record. He is one of two coaches in Iowa State history to post three consecutive 20-win seasons along with his former player and former ISU basketball coach [[Fred Hoiberg]]. He also led the team to three straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament and three straight first-round victories.

In his first season with the Cyclones, Floyd guided the team to a then-school-record 23 victories and the second round of the [[1995 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]]. During that season, the Cyclones were ranked in the [[Associated Press|AP]] Top 25 [[Opinion poll|poll]] for 11 consecutive weeks, peaking at number eleven. Four of the eleven ISU losses were to 1995 NCAA [[Final Four]] teams. The Cyclones returned to the [[Big Eight Conference|Big Eight Conference tournament]] championship for the first time since 1986. In addition, during the 1995 season, [[Fred Hoiberg]] became the first Cyclone to earn [[All-America]]n honors since [[Jeff Grayer]] in 1988.

Picked in preseason polls to finish last in the Big Eight, the 1995–96 Cyclones finished second in the league with a 9–5 mark and won the Big Eight Conference tournament with a win over the [[Kansas Jayhawks]], then ranked the number five team in the nation. The Cyclones received the highest NCAA Tournament seed in school history up to that time. As the number five seed, the Cyclones defeated the [[California Bears]] but lost to the [[Utah Utes]], then coached by [[Rick Majerus]] (who, in 2004, accepted and immediately resigned from the USC head coaching job that later went to Floyd). Iowa State's 24 victories that season was a school record. For his coaching efforts, Floyd was named Big Eight Coach of the Year and runner-up to [[Gene Keady]] of [[Purdue University]] for AP National [[Coach of the Year]].

In the 1996–1997 season, with high expectations and a national ranking as high as number four, Floyd and the Cyclones posted a 22–9 mark and advanced to their first NCAA [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|Sweet Sixteen]] appearance in 11 years. In the NCAA Tournament, the sixth-seeded Cyclones defeated the [[Illinois State Redbirds]] in the first round and the [[Cincinnati Bearcats]] before losing to the [[UCLA Bruins]] in [[Overtime (sports)|overtime]] in a game they led by double digits most of the game.

Floyd was also responsible for landing would-be recruits, including [[Nick Collison]] and [[Kirk Hinrich]], who would later withdraw their verbal commitments upon Floyd's departure from Iowa State.

While at Iowa State, Floyd coached future pros Dedric Willoughby, Fred Hoiberg, [[Kelvin Cato]], [[Marcus Fizer]] and [[Paul Shirley]].

===Chicago Bulls===
In 1998, Floyd was hired as the head coach of the NBA [[Chicago Bulls]] on July 23, replacing [[Phil Jackson]]. That offseason, the players of the Bulls championship teams retired or left, leaving the equivalent of an expansion team.  During the [[1998–99 NBA lockout|lockout]] season of [[1998–99 Chicago Bulls season|1998–1999]], the Bulls went {{winning percentage|13|37|record=y}}, and were {{winning percentage|17|65|record=y}} the [[1999–2000 Chicago Bulls season|next season]]. The team continued to lose, posting a {{winning percentage|15|67|record=y}} record in the [[2000–01 Chicago Bulls season|2000–01]] season. His fourth year as coach was marred by fights with players and management; after a 4–21 start, Floyd resigned on December 24, [[2001–02 Chicago Bulls season|2001]].

In his four seasons with the Bulls, Floyd posted a record of {{winning percentage|49|190|record=y}}. The team did not make the [[NBA playoffs]] in any of those seasons.  Known as a favorite of [[Jerry Krause]] by the Chicago media, Floyd proclaimed at a July 1998 press conference introducing him to reporters, "Don't call me Jerry's boy."<ref>"Pity for Bulls' departed Pink Floyd? You must be kidding", The State Journal-Register, Springfield, Illinois, Dec. 26, 2001.</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1998-07-24-9807240033-story.html|title=FLOYD HOPES 'KEY PLAYERS' RETURN--AS WELL HE SHOULD|last=Smith|first=Sam|website=chicagotribune.com|date=24 July 1998 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref>

===New Orleans Hornets===
As head coach of the [[New Orleans Hornets]] in [[2003–04 New Orleans Hornets season|2003–04]], Floyd posted a 41–41 record, despite the mid-season loss of Hornets star [[Jamal Mashburn]]. The Hornets lost in the first round of the playoffs, taking the [[2003–04 Miami Heat season|Miami Heat]] the full seven games. Ownership was dissatisfied and dismissed Floyd after just one season.

Floyd ended his NBA career with a {{winning percentage|93|235|record=y}} record, including the playoffs, admitting in interviews that, as an NBA coach, "I wasn't very good at it".  It was announced on November 12, 2009, that Floyd would be rejoining the Hornets as a top assistant to head coach and General Manager Jeff Bower.<ref name=simers012407>[[T.J. Simers]], [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-simers24jan24,1,6315915,full.column?coll=la-headlines-sports-coll-usc There's no bull in Floyd's retooling of the Trojans]{{dead link|date=June 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}, ''Los Angeles Times'', January 24, 2007.</ref>

===University of Southern California===
On January 14, 2005, Floyd was hired as head coach of the [[USC Trojans men's basketball|USC Trojans]], he succeeded interim coach [[Jim Saia]], who filled in after the school fired [[Henry Bibby]].<ref name=LAT011505>Lonnie White, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jan-15-sp-floyd15-story.html Floyd Bounces Right to Trojans], ''Los Angeles Times'', January 15, 2005, Accessed January 16, 2009</ref>  USC had originally hired [[Rick Majerus]] on December 15, 2004, however he unexpectedly resigned five days later.<ref name=LAT122104>Mike Terry and Jason Reid, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-dec-21-sp-majerus21-story.html He Just Wasn’t Fit to Be Tied Down], ''Los Angeles Times'', December 21, 2004, Accessed January 16, 2009</ref><ref name=LAT011405>Paul Gutierrez, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jan-14-sp-floyd14-story.html Floyd Looks Like a Keeper for Trojans], ''Los Angeles Times'', January 14, 2005, Accessed January 16, 2009</ref>  Floyd was the Trojans' immediate next choice.<ref name="LAT011505"/><ref name=LAT122104b>Paul Gutierrez, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-dec-21-sp-uscsider21-story.html Floyd Appears to Top USC List], ''Los Angeles Times'', December 21, 2004, Accessed January 16, 2009</ref>

Floyd's initial season may be regarded as a success. The 2005–06 Trojans finished the regular season with a 17–12 (8–10) record and sixth place in the [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-10]], including three conference losses by a combined nine points.  Floyd was the subject of heightened media attention in October 2006, when 14-year-old high school freshman Dwayne Polee Jr., son of former NBA player [[Dwayne Polee]], verbally accepted a scholarship offer from Floyd. Polee Jr. had yet to play in a high school basketball game.

For the 2006–2007 season, Floyd led the Trojans to a 25–12 (13–8) record (most wins in school history) and third place in the Pac-10.  He also led this team to finals of the Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament, where they lost to Oregon.  Floyd took the Trojans to the [[2007 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|2007 NCAA tournament]]'s Sweet 16, only the second USC team to do so since 1979.  However, USC lost to number one seeded [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|UNC]] on March 23, 2007.

In the 2008 NCAA Tournament, the #6 seeded Trojans fell 80–67 to the #11 seed Kansas State Wildcats in the first round.

Floyd's Trojans won the 2009 Pac-10 Tournament by defeating Arizona State, then made it to the second round of the [[2009 NCAA tournament]], losing to eventual runner-up [[Michigan State University|Michigan State]]. This marked the first time the Trojans had made a third consecutive NCAA tournament. After USC's exit from the tournament, Floyd was offered the vacant coaching position at [[Arizona Wildcats men's basketball|Arizona]] but turned it down.<ref name=LAT060909>Chris Foster, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/basketball/la-sp-tim-floyd-usc10-2009jun10,0,7663164.story Report: Tim Floyd resigns as USC's basketball coach], ''Los Angeles Times'', June 9, 2009, Accessed June 9, 2009.</ref>

====USC scandal and resignation====
{{Main|University of Southern California athletics scandal}}

The off-season immediately following the 2009 tournament proved to be tumultuous for Floyd and the USC program: Key starters [[DeMar DeRozan]], [[Taj Gibson]] and [[Daniel Hackett]] all declared for the [[NBA draft]] on the same day.<ref name=LAT060309>Chris Foster, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/basketball/la-sp-tim-floyd-usc3-2009jun03,0,2192765.story Off-season losses are piling up for Trojans], ''Los Angeles Times'', June 3, 2009, Accessed June 10, 2009.</ref> Floyd was accused of providing improper benefits by handing cash to Los Angeles event promoter Rodney Guillory, one of the handlers for [[O. J. Mayo]], to influence the then-high school star to choose USC, resulting in an NCAA investigation.<ref name="LAT060909"/>  The NCAA's 2010 infractions report for USC concluded that Floyd and other USC staffers knew about "two separate NCAA violations, one involving [Mayo] and one where [Guillory] was found to be a runner for an agent" but failed to take due diligence in Mayo's recruitment, thus a lack of institutional control on their part.<ref>{{cite web|author=Banowsky, Britton|url=https://web1.ncaa.org/LSDBi/exec/miSearch?miSearchSubmit=publicReport&key=691&publicTerms=THIS%20PHRASE%20WILL%20NOT%20BE%20REPEATED|title=University of Southern California public inractions report|publisher=NCAA|date=June 10, 2010|access-date=June 26, 2014|page=54|display-authors=etal}}</ref>

Due to the NCAA investigation and academic issues, several key recruits decommitted or chose different universities.  After Marcus Johnson, who played only 16 games for USC, averaging 3.6 points, opted to turn professional, Floyd lamented to a gathering of [[Booster club|boosters]]: "[[University of Kansas|Kansas]] has two players who would have been NBA lottery picks, [[Cole Aldrich]] and [[Sherron Collins]], and they are returning to school. Good for them. Our guys get an offer from [[Islamabad]] and they're gone."<ref name="LAT060309"/>

Claiming to have lost enthusiasm for his job, Floyd resigned as the head coach of USC on June 9, 2009.<ref name="LAT060909"/>  Floyd first notified a paper in his home state of Mississippi; his resignation was accepted by USC, which was faced with looking for a replacement late in the off-season.<ref name=LAT061009>Chris Dufrense, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/basketball/la-sp-dufresne-floyd10-2009jun10,0,4822152.column USC basketball should be resigned to its fate], ''Los Angeles Times'', June 10, 2009, Accessed June 10, 2009.</ref>  Following an internal investigation, USC vacated its 21 wins from the 2007–08 season and withdrew from postseason consideration (including the Pac-10 tournament) for the 2009–10 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/ncb/news/story?id=4792634|title=Mayo fallout: USC forfeits postseason play, wins|date=2010-01-03|website=ESPN.com|language=en|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref>

===Return to University of Texas at El Paso===
On March 30, 2010, [[University of Texas at El Paso|UTEP]] announced the hiring of Floyd. Floyd replaced [[Tony Barbee]] who left to take a head coach job at Auburn.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2012-09-05|title=Tim Floyd named men's basketball coach at UTEP - El Paso Times|url=http://www.elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_14784620|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120905155505/http://www.elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_14784620|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-09-05|access-date=2020-09-25|website=archive.vn}}</ref> Following a loss to [[2017–18 Lamar Cardinals basketball team|Lamar]] on November 27, 2017, that saw the Miners drop to 1–5 on the season, Floyd announced that he was retiring effective immediately.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/uteps-tim-floyd-a-former-coach-of-the-chicago-bulls-announces-his-retirement/|title=UTEP's Tim Floyd, a former coach of the Chicago Bulls, announces his retirement|work=CBSSports.com|access-date=2017-11-28|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/21592659/utep-men-basketball-coach-tim-floyd-retires|title=UTEP's Floyd retires after Miners fall to 1–5|work=ESPN.com|access-date=2017-11-28}}</ref> The school had previously announced a new athletic director, [[Jim Senter (athletic director)|Jim Senter]], a week prior, but Floyd said that had nothing to do with his decision.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article186828018.html|title=Citing 'new world of college basketball,' Tim Floyd abruptly retires from coaching|work=kansascity|access-date=2017-11-28|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.kvia.com/sports/uteps-new-athletic-director-we-are-going-to-engage-our-community/662929430|title=UTEP's new athletic director: We are going to engage our community|last=Villasana|first=Jose|date=2017-11-28|work=KVIA|access-date=2017-11-28|language=en-US}}</ref> Assistant Phil Johnson was named interim head coach of the Miners the next day.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/utep-announces-phil-johnson-replace-180117655.html|title=UTEP announces that Phil Johnson will replace Tim Floyd|publisher=Yahoo Sports|first=Rob|last=Dauster|access-date=November 28, 2017}}</ref> Floyd led the Miners to three 20-win seasons, but no NCAA Tournament appearances.

==Controversies==

===O. J. Mayo===
"Tim Floyd, who brought respectability on the court and controversy off it to the Southern California basketball program, resigned Tuesday. Floyd stepped down a month after a published report that he gave $1,000 in cash to the man who acted as a go-between when star player O.J Mayo decided to attend USC and play his freshman season at the school."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/pac10/2009-06-09-floyd-resigns_N.htm|title=Tim Floyd resigns as coach at Southern California - USATODAY.com|website=usatoday30.usatoday.com|access-date=2019-05-15}}</ref>

===USC's Andy Enfield===
In 2013, a feud developed between Floyd and USC coach [[Andy Enfield]].  The dispute started over a top-flight prospect reneging on his [[letter-of-intent]] to UTEP, followed by disparaging comments Enfield made about Floyd and [[El Paso]] in a magazine article.  The two had "heated words" at a November 2013 reception in the [[Bahamas]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-11-30|title=Following win, UTEP's Tim Floyd details clash with USC's Andy Enfield - CBSSports.com|url=http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24300707/following-win-uteps-tim-floyd-details-clash-with-uscs-andy-enfield|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131130023717/http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24300707/following-win-uteps-tim-floyd-details-clash-with-uscs-andy-enfield|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-11-30|access-date=2020-09-25}}</ref>
