IT’S NOT ‘SOUTHERN CAL’

Note to the media: In references to athletic teams of the University of Southern California, the following are preferred: USC, Southern Califor-nia, So. California, Troy and Trojans for men’s or women’s teams, and Women of Troy for women’s teams. PLEASE do not use Southern Cal (it’s like calling San Francisco “Frisco” or North Carolina “North Car.”).


Press Credentials: Direct all inquiries to Tim Tessalone, Sports Information Director, USC Heritage Hall Room 103, Los Angeles, California 90089-0601, (213) 740-8480. Information about radio and television broad-casting rights can also be obtained from Tessalone. Media credentials for USC home men’s basketball games will not be mailed in advance. Instead, credentials will be available for pick-up on game days at the Galen Center media entrance (located on the Flower Street side of the arena), generally 2 hours before tipoff. Credentials will be issued on a game-by-game basis (there are no season passes). Credentials must be requested prior to each game (requests will NOT roll over to the following game). Credential requests must be received by noon 2 days prior to each game, so that the USC sports information office can work with USC’s Office of Athletic Compliance to review and approve requests. The online credential request form covers NCAA compliance issues. To request a credential, contact David Tuttle in the Sports Information office and he will provide you with the credential application link. Credentials are non-transferrable. A valid identification that matches the submitted name must be shown and credentials must be picked up in person. At the Galen Center media entrance, media must sign an acknowledgement of the completed online waiver prior to being issued a credential.

Telephones: Contact ITS at (213) 821-0687 to order phone service at the Galen Center.

Galen Center: The Galen Center (3400 South Figueroa Street) is located approximately 15 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (adjacent to the USC campus). Directions: take Century Blvd. east to I-405 north; exit to I-10 east (toward Los Angeles) to I-110 South; exit Adams Blvd. and turn right onto Figueroa St.; go one mile and the Galen Center will be on your left. Or take I-405 south to I-105 (toward Norwalk) east to I-110 north (toward Pasadena/Los Angeles) and exit at King Blvd.

Media Parking: Media parking is available in Parking Structure 2, next to the Radisson Hotel. The entrance is off Figueroa Street.

Media Will Call: “Media Will Call” for Trojan basketball games is located at the southeast entrance of Galen Center, located off Flower Street.

Post-Game Interviews: USC’s post-game locker room will be closed, including to the media, in order to comply with NCAA rules that prohibit impermissible contact with recruits. Head coach Andy Enfield and

several players will be brought to the post-game interview room. Additional media interviews will be conducted in the area outside the post-game in-terview room as coaches and players exit the locker room hallway. USC’s sports information staff will work with the media to expedite this process.

USC Practices: Men’s basketball practices at USC will be closed to the public and media unless pre-approved. To ensure that USC and its Office of Athletic Compliance know which individuals are coming into the presence of our players, media wishing to attend a USC men’s basketball practice must complete a one-time online waiver no later than 2 p.m. on Monday of the week of the first planned visit (contact David Tuttle in the Sports Infor-mation office for the link) in order to allow the Office of Athletic Compliance time to review and approve requests. Also, once initially approved, media do not need to seek permission to attend subsequent practices, as names will remain on the approved list for the rest of the year. USC will practice at the Galen Center on the main floor or in the practice courts (call the USC sports information office for daily practice schedule updates). The first 15 minutes of practices will be open to local and national media. Media must remain in a designated area of the arena or practice court. USC coaches and players will be available to the media on the court immediately after all practices.

Player Interviews: All requests for player interviews should be directed to Dave Tuttle, Assistant Sports Information Director by calling (213) 740-8480 or e-mailing [email protected]. Please make your requests at least 48 hours in advance. Media members may interview players after USC’s practice sessions or during a class break if possible. No interviews will be granted on the day of a game or prior to practice and under no cir-cumstances are players available for interviews by calling them in their dorm rooms or apartments. Players are instructed not to grant any telephone or face-to-face interviews unless arrangements are made through the USC Sports Information Office.

Coach Interviews: All requests for interviews with Andy Enfield and his staff should be directed to Dave Tuttle, Assistant Sports Information Director (213) 740-8480.

Game Services: All members of the working media will be supplied with a game program, statistics and pregame notes as well as complimentary food service. Final and halftime statistics will be furnished along with a play-by-play. USC will also supply post-game quotes from both head coaches (and players in the event of outstanding individual performances), in addition to post-game notes.

Radio Sideline Commentary

Jordan Moore

Chris Fisher begins his seventh season of broadcasting USC men’s basketball games. He also hosts the USC football postgame show, broad-casted high school football in southern California and done play-by-play on college basketball for Fox Sports West. The 31-year-old USC graduate spent four years broadcasting minor league baseball and also has called sporting events on USC’s website. Fisher was named as the radio play-

by-play announcer for USC men’s basketball broadcasts on July 9, 2010, taking over for the late Rory Markas who called Trojan basketball games for 12 seasons. “I am thrilled and thankful to continue to be a part of the Trojan Family,” said Fisher. “However, the unfortunate circumstances of how this position opened up are not forgotten as Rory Markas was a tremendous mentor and an even better person to me. This has been a humbling process and I am appreciative that USC has put its conviction in me.” Fisher will team again this season with sideline reporter Jordan Moore to call all of the Trojans’ action for ESPNLA 710 Radio.

Chris Fisher will begin his seventh season of calling USC basketball on ESPNLA 710 Radio
