Michael Cooper’s return to Cal State Los Angeles is more than just another coaching stop — it’s a homecoming.
The Lakers legend was introduced Wednesday as the program’s 14th men’s basketball head coach, bringing with him decades of experience and a clear vision: return the Golden Eagles to championship form.
The goal for Cooper is to reestablish what the men’s basketball program achieved two years ago, winning a championship.
Cooper believes that building a championship team starts with what he calls the five Ds: determination, dedication, desire, discipline and decision-making.
