More from Phil Mathews
“Even as he waits for official confirmation on the coaching job at Riverside City College, Phil Mathews is busy planning ahead and is ready for the new challenge. He described ending up at RCC as a “perfect storm” after leaving UCLA and then finding out John Smith had resigned at RCC. He was a candidate last time the job was open nearly a decade ago when Smith was hired, and said he’s happy for a second chance to coach a program he grew up watching during the glory days under Jerry Tarkanian.”
