LOS ANGELES (AP)
Southern California has fired baseball coach Frank Cruz for violating NCAA rules regarding limits on practice time and organized team activities.

Trojans athletic director Pat Haden announced Wednesday that Cruz has been dismissed and that the school has self-imposed a reduction in the number of practice hours for the baseball team this season and next.

''Adhering to all NCAA rules is paramount for each one of our coaches, student-athletes and staff members,'' Haden said. ''Those who knowingly break NCAA rules are subject to termination.''

USC has alerted the NCAA and Pac-12 of the infraction and the university-imposed actions.

Cruz was 48-63 in two seasons with the Trojans.

Associate head coach Dan Hubbs, a former Trojans pitcher in his second season as a coach with USC, has been promoted to head coach.

''I'm confident that Dan Hubbs and his staff will lead our team to a successful season,'' Haden said. ''Dan is a good coach, he is highly-regarded in the baseball community and he has strong Trojan roots.''

Last Thursday), USC announced it had suspended Cruz from all coaching duties pending an investigation by Vice President for Athletic Compliance Dave Roberts and his staff to determine whether the baseball program exceeded the allowed Countable Athletically-Related Activities hours.

If I am Lame Kitten right now, aka the Boy Blunder, I would be very worried. Pat Haden is showing no hesitation about firing hs corches at U$C. Haden has now jettisoned the baseball corch and the basketball corch (the beloved Kevin O'Neill) within the last 60 days. Boy is definitely on thin ice.

He was 48-63 ... that's the real reason for the termination ... the stated reason for the termination will give the USC relief from any contract obligations.
