Wendale Farrow enters his fourth season as assistant coach for the USC women's basketball program. Farrow worked alongside current USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb for three seasons while she was at the helm at Cal. In all, Farrow has six years of assistant coaching experience — five with the Golden Bears and one at Vanderbilt. Prior to his rise to an assistant, Farrow garnered great experience in a variety of roles in two seasons at UCLA, where he worked under Cori Close with duties including video coordinator, community service liaison, scout team adviser, camp director and interim recruiting coach. At Cal, Farrow's focus was on the guards, with several Golden Bear guards earning All-Pac-12 awards during his tenure in Berkeley. Cal achieved three 20-win seasons and three NCAA Tournament appearances with Farrow on staff.

"I had the privilege of working with Dale for three years, and I saw firsthand the level of energy, preparation and care that he brings to a team each and everyday," Gottlieb said of Farrow. "He is passionate about basketball strategy and equally passionate about investing in the betterment of young people. He is a servant leader and will embody the type of excellence we are about in our USC women's basketball program."

A Sacramento, Calif., native, Farrow was a CoSIDA All-Academic District honoree while at Eastern Michigan, where he graduated in 2009. He served as a graduate manager there from 2010-12 and later worked as an academic mentor at Michigan while completing his Master of Arts in Educational Leadership Student Affairs from EMU.
