USC HC Lindsay Gottlieb drops 5-word reaction for her kids on Mother’s Day
USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb shares two children with her husband, Patrick Martin. On Sunday, she posted an image of herself and her children celebrating Mother's Day.
"Best bouquet of flowers ever," she captioned the post.
In the image, Gottlieb holds her daughter, while her son stands by her side holding a basketball. In her free hand, Gottlieb holds a handmade bouquet. However, rather than flowers, the bouquet has several painted hand prints, presumably of her kids.
Gottlieb and Martin welcomed their first child, Jordan, in 2017. They had their second kid, Reese, five years later.
Women's CBB analyst Cece Clay analyzes Lindsay Gottlieb's new assistant coach, Nikki Blue
It has been a busy offseason for Lindsay Gottlieb and the USC Trojans. After the Trojans were eliminated in the Elite Eight of March Madness, the goal shifted to make the team more championship-ready next season. One thing that needed to be addressed was one of the assistant coaching positions.
Wendale Farrow, formerly an assistant at USC, left after the season to become an assistant under Dawn Staley at South Carolina. Gottlieb elected to hire Nikki Blue as her replacement. Analyst Cece Clay analyzed the hire in a Substack post at the end of April.
"When USC Women’s Basketball announced Nikki Blue as the newest member of Lindsay Gottlieb’s coaching staff, it wasn’t just another hire. It was a calculated power move — and a symbolic one. USC didn’t just add a coach with professional pedigree. They added someone who knows Southern California, represents it, and has thrived at every level of the game."
Blue did not coach in 2024 but was previously the interim head coach of the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA in 2023. She will now join Gottlieb as the USC Trojans try to get over the hump next season.
