    Taking over a basketball team that has been down is always a challenge for the new coach. In the case of Jeff Harada, he faces a double whammy.
    Not only did he inherit a Cal State Fullerton women’s team coming off a 4-25 season – 1-15 in the Big West Conference – he has to try to fix a program that was in turmoil. For one thing, leading scorer Iman Lathan left the team near the end of this past season, her and then-coach Daron Park having clashed on more than one occasion.
