Is Jerry Krause's boy leaving La-La land?

I always thought Tim Floyd was a snake. He was Jerry Krause's sidekick that helped end the Chicago Bulls dynasty and turn the six-time NBA Champions into an absolute laughing stock. Analysts suggested he return to the college game after being absolutely overmatched in the pros. And he did.

Floyd landed at USC and has delivered the Trojans three NCAA Tournament bids in four years, including this year's run sparked by the Pac 10 Conference Tournament championship. On the other hand, he brought in Lil' Romeo to play basketball on a full-ride scholarship. Hey, you can't win 'em all.

So was I shocked to hear Jerry Krause's Boy mulling an offer to jump to conference rival Arizona? No.

Check out this nugget from the L.A. Times:

Arizona asked for permission to speak with Floyd on Tuesday. At the team banquet that night, Floyd gave an impassioned speech to players about staying at USC to win a national title, and not jumping to the NBA. He flew off to interview at Arizona on Wednesday.

Unless Floyd was talking to the Trojan football team, a national title isn't coming to the SoCal campus' hardwood heroes ... he must have been partying a lil' too hard with Matt Leinart.
