USC Coach Accused of Racial Abuse | USC Trojans Basketball News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 15, 2026 Duration: 2:07

A shocking lawsuit alleges USC basketball coach Eric Musselman unleashed a racially charged tirade on player Chad Baker-Mazara after a loss, allegedly telling him to “Go back to the f—king Dominican Republic!” The incident, which occurred post-game following Baker-Mazara’s injury and limited playing time, reportedly led to his immediate dismissal from the team — a move the plaintiff claims was racially motivated and part of a broader effort by USC to withhold NIL payments. The university denies any racial bias, citing multiple performance-related reasons for the roster cut, while Baker-Mazara sues for breach of contract and damages, arguing the fallout destroyed his professional prospects. Legal action is now underway as Musselman prepares for his third season at USC amid mounting scrutiny.
