It's his first season but he's no newcomer to the game. Head coach Darrin Horn got in the game back in 1992 when he played for Western Kentucky from 1992 to 1995. Horn has also coached greats such as 2008 First Round Draftee Courney Lee (Orlando Magic). Horn also coached four other players who are now playing in the NBA. In the 2007-2008 campaign, Horn ranked 14th on the Basketball Times' top 40 Up-and-Coming Coaching list. Horn works with assistant coach Scott Cherry, assistant coach Cypheus Bunton, assistant coach Michael Boynton, coordinator of basketball operations Robert Knotts and director of player development Neill Berry. Everyone jumped into the act recently also to create an overwhelming success of Operation Sellout. The Colonial Life Arena can hold 18,000 for capacity crowds and the Operation Sellout initiative marked only the second time in the history of the arena that there's been a sellout game for men's basketball. Coaches, players, students and others all went to work to make the sold out event happen. The Gamecocks will take on three more games this season at the Colonial Life Arena.
