Vance Walberg has resigned as head basketball coach at Pepperdine, effective immediately. Walberg, just in his second season, stated it is for personal reasons. He is credited with inventing the dribble drive motion offense used by Memphis. Walberg was 14-35 at Pepperdine, his first Division I position. He was hired in April 2006 to replace Paul Westphal.
Assistant coach Eric Bridgeland will take over as interim head coach.
ESPN reports that Dave Odom will retire at the end of the season. The head man at South Carolina has been in coaching over 40 years. He left Wake Forest in 2001 to take over for Eddie Fogler. During his tenure at South Carolina, his team has earned one NCAA tournament bid, and has made three appearances in the NIT, winning the championship twice. He was named SEC Coach of the Year in 2004.
