Former USC head coach Tim Floyd was minding his business at a California casino when a chick fight broke out. So Floyd, who also coached the New Orleans Hornets, Chicago Bulls and at Iowa State, walked over and attempted to break up the fight.

“I was leaving and then this thing happened in the food court,” Floyd said of the fight. “It looks like a bar but it’s a food court. All I can say is that it was more physical than anything I’d seen in the Pac-10 and decided somebody needed to break it up.”

Floyd said he had no idea that a woman was behind him ready to clobber him with a chair.

“I didn’t see behind me,” Floyd said. “It was one of those deals where people were circling, chanting and cheering. It went on for 20 to 30 seconds before I walked up there. I was thinking someone would break it up but nobody would.”
