If a Tree Falls ...

Bill Grier was officially introduced Monday as the new head basketball coach at the University of San Diego.
Of course, he said all the right things, but Grier probably isn't aware of the biggest challenge facing him in his new job. Overtaking Gonzaga, Grier's former employer, is not the toughest thing he'll attempt to do at USD. No, the most difficult challenge for Grier will be to try to do something about the raging apathy that exists about USD in this city.
Case in point: The San Diego Union-Tribune held an online general sports chat, covering various local topics, on Monday -- the same day the Toreros introduced Grier as their new coach. Not one question was about USD or Grier.
