Southern California College has hired former Ocean View girls’ basketball coach Ollie Martin as an assistant women’s coach.

Martin, who left Ocean View because of additional demands on his time at Southern California Gas Co. in Glendale, said the late practice schedule at the college and the reduced responsibilities as an assistant afforded him this opportunity.

First-year Coach Russ Davis said Martin would be valuable for several reasons, including recruiting.

“He’s well-respected in the county and there’s a huge talent pool here,” Davis said. “We’d like to get some of it to stay home.”
