SAN DIEGO (AP) - Bill Grier had a hand in taking the Gonzaga Bulldogs from relative obscurity to perennial NCAA tournament team. Now he hopes to do the same with the San Diego Toreros.
Grier was introduced as USD's head coach Monday, taking over 2 1/2 weeks after Brad Holland was fired following a 13-season run at the West Coast Conference school.
"The thing about Gonzaga, and some people think that there is a magic recipe, but that program took a lot of time and hard work, and didn't evolve overnight," said Grier, who was on Gonzaga's staff for 16 years. "I see a lot of potential in this program here, with the things that you have to sell, including the city, the campus and the arena."
