The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports: Tim Floyd, the former Bulls coach who resigned as coach at Southern California five months ago in the wake of a recruiting scandal, said today that rejoining the New Orleans Hornets as an assistant seemed "like the perfect scenario for me."
"We had just moved here June 9, and I had not even entertained the thought of this, and Jeff (Bower, the new Hornets coach and also the general manager) called," Floyd said. "There had been other opportunities since I resigned June 9, but this one just felt right. It felt perfect. I'm looking forward to it."

Floyd, who enjoyed a successful run as coach at the University of New
Orleans, was fired by the Hornets after the 2003-04 season.
"It happened real quick," said Floyd, who was last seen in an Internet video apparently breaking up a fight involving at least six women in a casino cafeteria. "He called Wednesday night. He didn't say he was offering me a job. He asked , 'How are you doing? Do you want to get back in it?' And I said, 'Yeah, I want to get back in it, but it's got to be with the right person at the right time.' We talked again (Thursday) and I was really excited that he offered me a job."
